Must admit id be interested in some form of consultation just to hear from someone whos worked on the floor etc, although im not a day trader 99% of the time im holding for days/couple of weeks, so not really sure i would pay enough compared to a major firm to really make formal consultation worthwhile on an individual basis. Im no W.Buffet but do well enough to live off of trading. I tend to keep my leverage from 2:1 for stocks upto 5 or 10:1 on currencies & gold depending on risk:reward and my confidencee in the trade.

well, see thats what im kind of looking for. i would likr to have a few corparate jobs a year that will pay me alot, then have the flexibility consulting individuals, knowing that the pay will not be the same. i am not bragginbg but the job i am doing for 2 months in canada will pay for my whole year, plus a 5 star hotel and living expenses. but eventually i dont want to be tied down to a 930-4pm office. thats my ultimate goal
