I missed some good comedy today. Here is my results for 2014: Account started with $500. Today's account: $7,234,922 That is not bad, but not great. I backtested and studied the charts very very hard!!!! Of course I had losers, yes I had losers. Yes, I am 99.9% sure this thread will...

it's always this saying, "when your friend loses his job, recession. when you do, depression." i'm selfish, so i don't care about QE193 or 30-year yields at 0% or Dow at 200k. If my accounts go up, good. if not, bad. let's see, 6 years ago to now. I'm better off in some things, worse in...

I've known at least 4 people who made close to a million and lost it all. buying houses, big client in the 90's that left, trading, and a good dot com company followed by 5 bad ones.....just 10 years ago there were complete morons making 100k. the best is when the move back home, since u can't...

the thing is, if i have 1 million that is all mine, i better have a house paid off, car paid off, no debt, and no money worries at all. if not, those get paid off. hard to tell this to some people, and that's fine. but that's me now. it is sad to watch the 20 year old lose 10k every year for...

With any money less than, say 100k your business model is to sell subscriptions online to supplement your bad trading. 99% of all websites of gurus do this. margin will help the first year, and it is gambling, but if you learn to be less risky it can help. no margin, yes probably 500k with...

1 cent is one cent. Do that all day, all day.....it adds up to good money and very little risk. Remember Citadel or someone bought Schwab's client book so they can execute like this all day. all dark pool stuff, and i think they paid only 1 billion for their trades and they made 9 billion one...

You guys are funny, so i'll chime once more tonight. The floor traders are given an edge by a friend (both in the pit, but only one needs to be) and sometimes that edge is selling 9's as 8's go offer, so they can immediately buy 8's if they want. of course they can't do that the same way...

i don't agree with the "compounding of small gains" theory. It's been well documented that the commissions, slippage, etc...will destroy your P/L unless you are 80%+ success rate. Trading often is almost impossible to win at the retail level. search youtube on the math. sorry if i turned you...

WTF.....Did he give his money to someone before he jumped off a building? I could have taken his 10k and turned it into 239 million and gave 100k to his family as a great gesture. that's just how i roll.

We are 9 pages into this thread.....what is the 1,000 up to? 10,000? 100,000? 0? i have yet to see a thread, "How I turned 1k into 1 million". Who here wants to get rich and live the life they have dreamed!!! For 100,000 I can help you reach your life goals. Life is short, and you...

remember, forex is unregulated and i wouldn't believe any shill from one of those places. that entire business is a scam. so many forex shops just close, or have stale quotes, or just rob you...... anyhow, we are talking wall street. they get a bonus based on how the group does, and that...

I remember when I was turning 1,000 into 100,000,000,000 and some guy in my class said i couldn't do it. i cried for 11 days straight and then went and bought 1,000 lottery tickets. i won, but only 40 million. you should go to wall street and cry to your manger after 1 hour of playing with...

I take the cnbc OVER for one billion. I win.... OK, so they were at a commercial, but it still counts!!!!!

Step number 1: get elected Step number 2: do things to the extreme Step number 3: convince them you need more time, only you can save them Step number 4: get voted out, retire on sweet pension who cares? put me in GS prop desk years ago with power and i'm not going to be afraid to take...

What I did is contact hedge funds, live on Wall Street, spend weeks in Chicago, fly to London, and show my system to some of the greatest traders the world has ever seen. Then there was a bidding war in my system, and I sold it for 1 billion dollars. They made 10 billion a year off it.......so...
