Any advice for someone who wants to trade fulltime in Belgium? Trade as an individual or as company?

Create a strategy, backtest it. Than forwardtest it for a couple of months. Amount of trades isn't that important imho. I trade a system that takes 20 trades/month, so I've gone live after 50-60 trades as the expectancy remained positive.

In a market that is going up, buy & hold is hard to outperform. I try to get some piece of the cake but I want to avoid the big drawdowns that can happen when you choose buy & hold. How can I tell if my performance is 'good enough' to keep doing it.

I swingtrade (long only) the S&P500 by trading SPY. Basicly I try to get in when the markets starts trending and get out when it reverses. These are my results of the past 3 years. Should I be happy with this performance? How can I (objectively) evaluate my performance? 2012 +7.93 points...

LOL... I understand. But I was hoping to get some (positive) critisism.:)

This is the chart...

I trade the SPY, long only. I make 1 trade/day. Results 2012: 174 trades +14.92 points +14.05 points after commissions +10.32% Biggest drawdown is 5% Is this good/bad/ok? Is this system worth trading in your opinion?

Is this legal? *Set-up an offshore company (HongKong by example) and trade with the money of the company *Set-up an offshore company (HongKong by example) and trade with the money of the company. You sell a stake in the company to different investors. *Set-up an offshore company...

send me the stuff of today!

I want to trade some US index options (dow jones or S&p500). Where do I go for the smallest spreads & some good volume (which ticker or which exchange)?

Is this relevant? It's a small non-US firm
