    TopstepTrader Q & A

    Would have been easy to cheat ... just set up the combine on a delayed feed. Surprised they never tried that. Hoag though I think is a pretty straight shooter with a good reputation. Ditto Eddie. Can't say that about everyone involved up the chain there.

    Oil to $100 before the end of week!

    Trader P/L 2007

    In another thread I believe you said you did 5 to 10 lots. I was thinking that was the case. Marty Swartz is a pimple on an elephants ass compared to this performance. Pretty impressive.

    Anekdoten: I see the other day you did 145 trades and made 45K. That is about $310 a trade or 6 e-mini points. If you were right 80% of the time and lost 2 points average on the losers your winners would have to have been 116 trades averaging about 7.5 points per win. (rounding off in my...
