That Family office? @ThinkingUSD hired him to intern
Gonna be really interesting to see how this evolves for the both of them
Hope he makes the switch to full time trading
i am very unsure of how my 2ish years of full-time poker are going to transfer to trading
just took an internship with a family office that has a trading arm, they're paying me $230/hr for a month
kind of a weird move from me given i've made ~$170k this year playing not many hours of poker, nor have i ever traded before - im a financial fish that just puts money in index funds
the opportunity came up super randomly, the founder watches my yt poker vlogs
im sure some ppl here know him
he reached out to me via dm & basically said "ur earnings in poker are capped. u should get into trading"
was super sus about it but he's pretty big in the space on X so i took a call w him
he convinced me
guess they wanted someone who’s coming in on a clean slate & see how long it takes to train someone from legit 0 -> competent
today was my first real day, in way over my head, will see how this goes and keep reporting back here with learnings / P&L
gl us?

We will be discussing markets and doing a portfolio breakdown into midterms.
As always joined by the CIO of my trading firm @SoskaKyle.
See you there.
And you ask me 'bout cashin' a check, and you ask me what's in my account
And I don't even know what that is, 'cause I don't even check
'Cause I don't even check...
There's a strange calmness when you're sitting in a position where all the work is done, you understand all the variables and now it's just time to let the market come to the same conclusion.

Would you people be interested in medium posts about various trading strategies on Bitmex? Arbitrage, Cash and Carry, Funding, Market Making, Hedging, Scalping ect.?
Thank you for all the kind messages and DMs. Sort of overwhelming and really happy to hear that I had some positive influence for people changing their financial circumstances.
To save everyone some time, refer to this message if you’re wondering about if/when to sell.
Quick thought on “life changing money” since I’m getting a lot of DMs about it (no surprise given current PA).
If you’re sitting on uPnL that’s life changing you need to sell. Full stop.
I have regretted every single time when I did not realize life changing gains in the beginning of my career. The notional amount will change as you progress but the concept will not.
You will never get the optionality back of materializing that position and improving your life circumstances forever.
If you can change your life and the lives of those around you forever by clicking SELL on a screen I strongly advise that you do.
You can always rebuy, but you cannot go back in time and resell at that level where you reach escape velocity. There will always be another trade.
The people who make it to the top understand that being liquid and booking wins is how you SURVIVE. They didn’t get there by timing every top perfectly, they got here by pulling out cash than they put it.
There is always another trade, timing tops perfectly is a fantasy and having liquidity is king.
After you’ve hit escape velocity then and only then can you start playing the game for real and going for it all.
I’m not selling because this trade is a once in a cycle trade for me but that does not mean it will be for everyone.
Stay liquid and I love you all.
Hyperliquid is the most important asset of the last decade. It's all starting to click for TradFi. High demand for things in crypto that make money, low supply.
