I did all of Raj's S&P 500 futures on the CME floor. He is one of my best friends and was the desk largest customers when he ran B of As prop trading desk. There is no FAKE news here. He is one of the top traders in the world.
+vettefever67 quite frankly neither does world. A college degree has nothing to do with the greatness within you, and there are countless men and women who have done great things and never went to college. Success in college is very different to success in the real world.
+yourtub It's very true. People think that going to college and getting a degree will make them ridiculously rich. There are investors like Walter J. Schloss who didn't even go to college. Warren Buffett was rejected from HBS and now imagine where those guys who did get accepted ended up. In fact, it might've been good for him because he went to Columbia and studied under Graham. All these prep kids go to college and don't even know what they're doing, choose shitty 9-5 jobs and hate what they do, but enjoy the above average pay. It really is a scam, but it can be used well if you know what you're doing right away.
You get the immediate impression that these guys worked harder then anyone else to get their success and for that you cannot have a bad word to say about them. UA-cam GOLD this channel!
11.07.21 and it`s still a great conversasjon. Guess they even will say that in 2061 to. That is human nature never change. Greed, fear, panic, envy etc. And the players are still the same. The profesjonals ( the banks) fooling the plebs to gamble short term
these guys are really amazing. I did the PTM video course and then completed a mentoring programme with Raj and made 38% in 3 months. This to a l of Retail Traders may sound like not a lot but I always lost in trading before this for years and then on the mentoring with Raj I turned $18,000 into just under $25K in 3 months. I learnt so much and know I can continue on this path of profit with no much risk. What Raj teaches in options trading is really consistently profitable. Thanks institute for doing what youre doing and thanks Anton for setting it all up. Grateful Student.
Good to hear that Prakash I am a couple of months out from starting the same journey you went down. May I ask if you did the 1 mth or the 12 mth course how manageable is it? What was the location you did your mentoring course in. Looking forward to your reply if you have time. Cheers Pete
Absolutely awesome interview! the questions, the way it was recorded, the vibes, everything. Very, very nice stuff. Even now, 7 years later. Congrats and thank you!
Hi James I have recently passed the PTM with a mark of 86%. All I can say is that once you get involved with the course and listen to what Anton has to say and follow the online Excel spread training you will feel so empowered. The information you are given and the way the course evolves is great. I have not become an Institute Trader just yet because I want to increase my initial capital for my account ( all will make sense if you start the course). I have not been paid nor have I been asked to write this reply other than through my own desire to do so as I felt you asked a couple of pertinent questions. You will be given information and an insight into a world you never knew existed. Best money I ever spent.
Another Great interview, the greatest thing about it, is to really understand what they talk about you have to join the institute, Excellent work BIG thanks To Anton And Raj
Excellent description Raj. Very politely put. I've heard many know it alls act all superior when trying to describe the same "over the hump" situation, because they were well taught, not self taught, thus given a lot of information, as opposed to really learning the hard way. To me, It's like suddenly discovering level two's exist, having not known previously. Great videos by the way. Hopefully you, Anton and the team will have many more to come, as well as teaching plenty of great traders I hope.
that was a very interesting interview! I am going to purchase the PTM and hopefully gather enough funds to then become an institute trader at some point!
same but Ive literally watched every video multiple times, taking notes. it's incredibly informative and I've been Able to see where I've been messing up for so long. I've signed up for an online seminar this upcoming Saturday, I'm SOO excited just to sit in.(edit: crap this comment is 6 years old LOL sorry)
I was a AVP in IT Department at Merrill 2001-2012 and privy to many meetings. Raj is spot on! Bank Of America sunk to $6.00 per share Buffet brought one million shares.
leveraging risk is amazing to me and then couple this with probability, , never mind the logic employed in generating your trade ideas, this in itself increases probability from a specific angle, so the more angles generating risk security, the greater the chance of striking. many correlations to the art of war, book of five rings, the prince, think and grow rich, and many other highly informative and influential writings. There is even a great deal of the ubermensch mingling about these myriad precious elements being delivered through the words of these men. Wishing you great success through your endeavors gentleman.
I've noticed throughout the different videos that you guys mention Options several times. Is this the area of focus of your course? I've been studying for over a year I want to get as much knowledge as possible before placing my first trade (although I’ve heard Anton that real learning starts with your first trade, I prefer to minimize gray areas of information) I'm so glad I have found you guys Any chance you guys visit Argentina on your next Brazilian tour?
Hello, I am considering purchasing the PTM and I was just wondering if you could help answer my questions. 1. Do we need to know any terminology or have an understanding of how the markets work or will the course cover this? 2. When it comes to using software such as Excel is there anything in particular we should be able to do before purchasing the PTM? Thank you for any reply you are able to give. :)
James Bird You do not need any prior knowledge. you are taught everything from the ground up. You do not need any more resources other than Excel , an internet connection and your brain. You do not need any prior knowledge of Excel as everything is taught to you and you do not need to prepare. just enjoy the ride and soak up the knowledge. you will be blown away.
When volatility is low, that's when it's cheap? That's very interesting and I want to learn more about this. I have always believed when volatility is high (relative to itself), that's when an option's premium is expensive and a good time to sell premium (and potentially profit from Theta decay). Anyone have thoughts on this subject that is around 14mins into the interview?
When IV is very low, it means that the market isn't pricing in much movement in the stock/etf over the next 12 months.. This is when it is a good time to buy a stock that you are bullish on through calls or call spreads or bying puts or put spreads to express a bearish opinion on a stock. Why? Because vol is mean reverting and as Anton says, it will revert to its mean after a while. Here the trader may have an angle because the premium will be cheap so the risk/reward may setup. When vol is high, you want to be selling premium and buckets loads of it because the market is pricing in bucket loads of movement in the stock. Watch vol in stocks just before they announce earnings and you will see how high it goes..........
In my understanding what Raj said is the opposite of what you are saying. He said to buy Vol when it's high, to minimize the loss when the earnings happen. What you are saying is to sell Vol(sell premium) when Vol is high. I had similar thought as you, so I am also confused by what Raj said.
He could be referring to the following. By saying "buy" could mean selling a put or put spread for example. so you are buying ( a bullish position) but selling volatility. Buy low - sell high means one would rarely buy volatility when its high as when it reverts to its mean (after earnings), it is worth much less afterwards
Hey, I know I'm late to the party but I wanted to clear this up for posterity. The other people replying to you have clearly not taken the Institute's courses. KPOP Granny is closest. Raj is saying the opposite of what most retail traders believe. The common retail perception is that you should buy options when IV is low, because it's "cheap". But what is IV? In simple terms, it's a measure of how much the stock is expected to move over the life of the options contract. If you're buying an option, you benefit from the stock moving in your direction. So why would you buy an option when the stock isn't expected to move much before the contract expires? What usually ends up happening is the retail trader buys an option with low IV because it's "cheap", the stock doesn't move, and the option expires worthless. The trader has lost 100% of their premium. What Raj is saying is that it's far better to be long an option when IV is high. The reason IV is high is because the market is expecting the stock to move a lot over the life of the options contract. Again, if you're long an options contract then you need the stock to move in your direction in order to make money that outpaces time decay. So even though you're paying a bit extra for the option, you have a much higher chance of the stock moving dramatically in your direction, and having the option be worth many times more than you paid for it. That's how you get very high risk/reward plays with options.
Anton, you old rocknrollah. Anoher great and entertaining video, I see you still hold that hotelspot at the Trump near Central Park, it really is a great location. Fix the collar before turning on the camera though, it should be sharpish. Greetings from Luxembourg and thank you for enlightening the masses that life isn't always fair and emotions should be ignored a lot of times in order to have a carreer in the financial industry. Or any carreer, for that matter. People are shit at choosing their own destiny and potential because of programmed expectations, money and priorities or some nonsensical social feelgood-aspect. Loved that part in the former docu about how the ones educating you in your/our youth tell you to respect the traditional infrastructure and not to venture out because they need that same infrastructure to maintain their own role in life. They can't understand that that same traditional nonsense is the the reason we keep holding ourselves down. And with carreer, I don't mean a stinking job for some corporation. Freedom is indeed an asset. P.S Say hi to Lex for me.
I have been following you guys through the videos that you make and all the stuff you have on the internet and I have developed a huge interest and hunger for knowing how financial markets work and how to trade. However I feel like I am in the desert part of the world when it comes to your program as I am in Africa, specifically South Africa. Do you host any seminars in this part of the world? How do I become part of the program from where I am?
Very very informative some really key information on where to start getting the information required on a stock/company. "Pigs Latin" must enroll in a course, don't want to be the "shortest midget" I love it
I realize more men tend to get involved in trading and investing and i'm wondering if women go through your trading course? Honestly curious what keeps women from this type of work?
I like these guys but the finance industry has changed and the reality of technology on the finance industry means that it is no longer "a fair game", the finance industry today is simply there to transfer money from those who do not know how it works, to those who do know how it does work, generally speaking, moving wealth from poor to rich.. it really is as simple as that.
thats very pessimistic and it's not quite as simple as that in reality, you can still succeed at this game if you put in the work and you have the flare for it
if you have internet access, you dont need to be rich to know how the financial markets works. You just need to pretendo that you have a Harvard/MIT/Stanford test tomorrow and study like so, then you'll be able to make money
Isn't that true for everything ever in the history of mankind? If you know how something works and someone else doesn't, you have an advantage over that person in that arena.
you are correct for day trading. But as these guys are talking about, invest in something you understand. Find a sector you can see growing, ie Netflix instead of blockbuster type thing.

I did all of Raj's S&P 500 futures on the CME floor. He is one of my best friends and was the desk largest customers when he ran B of As prop trading desk. There is no FAKE news here. He is one of the top traders in the world.
Awesome stuff that you even know this is around. Grateful for this platform to be in such possible close to contact so such legends.
definetely Anton and others are in the top traders in the world also
How many lots would you guys put on a good position in a day?
"The market doesn't care where you went to college". Very motivating.
+vettefever67 quite frankly neither does world. A college degree has nothing to do with the greatness within you, and there are countless men and women who have done great things and never went to college. Success in college is very different to success in the real world.
+yourtub It's very true. People think that going to college and getting a degree will make them ridiculously rich. There are investors like Walter J. Schloss who didn't even go to college. Warren Buffett was rejected from HBS and now imagine where those guys who did get accepted ended up. In fact, it might've been good for him because he went to Columbia and studied under Graham. All these prep kids go to college and don't even know what they're doing, choose shitty 9-5 jobs and hate what they do, but enjoy the above average pay. It really is a scam, but it can be used well if you know what you're doing right away.

did u do the one month or three month and how many times can you take the exam and it's alot of money
+robertjames12 You can only take the exam once I believe.
+Ben Abbott Hi Ben. Have you continued trading since the completion of the course?
Revisiting this great convo again in 2021. Raj reminds me of Elvis Presley but of investing... total Rockstar!
Thank you Anton Kreil and Raj Malhotra to take the time and teach us what about to trading.
Love these videos, no BS, just hard work ethic, grit and determination, all qualities you should aim with in life and any career
I live in NYC and Bryant Park & the BofA Building are my favorites! Really inspiring to hear Raj's story. I wish him all the best!
they did this shit in early 2000s and we are struggling still in 2022
Love these interviews!
