So only your the "Double Down" Master? I find it funny how you say WILL NOT LAST in huge bold letters, then go on to say best of luck lol why do people always assume everyone compounds every trade?? When your speaking of futures, each trade in itself is already compounded. To the OP, so...

Exactly, That was the main problem at first, i never pictured losing...if so why would i even try in the first place? I know this is not easy, infact its the hardest thing ive ever tried. Went through 4 accounts in 1 year and lost 30k, all my savings. The mental stress alone was almost worse...

Sorry you feel it is a joke.. but let me ask you this, when you were only making 10 points a day how in the hell did you manage risk? Using 1 tick stops? Lets take today for example..my signals would have made me 11 points, a short at 1314.25, then reverese and go long at 1307.25 exit at...

Also being an institutional trader doesnt mean anything. If i had the money i could very well trade 400 contracts and the system wont know if its me making that trade or a big guy. Any given time even in pm trading you can trade 400 contracts with maximum 3 ticks slippage. The little guy can...

Thats a good question. 2 billion wasnt a target, it just ended up being that way as a result of the system. You have to aim for a certain amount to keep a proper R/R ratio, you kow? Id be happy with 1 point per day and thats it. In reality it doesnt work like that. You have to determine the...

lol funny

500 million would be too much, i dont want to take a whole week just to enter a position. Trying to keep it relative to a certain percent of what the average daily volume would be.

What is the maximum return on investment that you know of? Currently planning out my long term trading goals now that i finally have a system down, so making sure im keeping it on the realistic side. I dont plan on making 20 points a day or anything, but years down the line does 1600...

Stops are too tight. Less than 10% can afford to take a loss.

That whole plan went down the drain after i didnt wake up in time because i was up all night and day before trying to recoop my account. BUT i would have shorted at 1336.50 and made 20k By the time i woke up i changed plans instead to catch the "bottom", well turns out it didnt go to well...

The demo was alot different, first off they start you off with a 50,000 balance so i started trading lot sizes i never could in real life which got me into a delusional state of mind. On the demo when you put out a limit order it gets filled ALOT quicker than real time. Thought i could just...

1 - blew my account for the second time, same broker. 2- dont even want to say, but not a whole lot. 3- almost 4- thats what i want to start looking into. 5- no, because theres not the benefit of margin. 6- looked into them when i first started, but the volume was too low and the...

So how do people afford to learn during that time period? Yes i am trading noise...im trying to use tick charts, range, momentum and there is so many combos from 1 tick to 10000 and i see good setups but they happen way to fast with the small ticks. Think those are better for automation...

Well when you go to harvard im sure people expect more out of you than to become a "trader" given the bad rep it has. The more educated someone is the more likely they came from a background where they were warned about risky investments. If you go to one of those schools your probably already...
