I trade options and ran $10K into $50K. Don't think you can do it with less though. Good luck!

I'm in SF and trade mainly options. Would love to hook up no homo

Got a "Confucius say" moment going on here. Thanks for sharing :)

What are you trying to achieve with reading the book? Books are great but for trading, it's just theory. Take what you learn from the books and apply it in the markets with a small position size. When I started with options, I bought 1 contract to learn. Now I can trade 10+ contracts but start...

I broke even for 6 years trading different strategies to learn before I found my niche. Everyone is different. There's no "how much can I reasonably make" when it comes to the markets. I trade options so making 100% or more on my trades is possible. Harder to do so buying straight equities. Now...

From a risk/reward perspective, I'm ok with using the closing price and the low of the candle. If I get stopped out, no worries. Buy order above today's high is prudent but I don't think I lose too much buying at the close. If breaks today's low, I get out. Thanks for your comment.

Bought 200 shares of GE at the close. Stop-loss under today's low (2/26/18) Trigger was technical - Hammer candle with long wick on a downtrend, so reversal play. Holding period: few days to few weeks.

1. Betting that RUT will outperform DIA or SPY or QQQ or EEM in 20-30 years is a good bet with high probability but who knows if it will. My own thought process is to be diversified in low cost broad based index funds both US and international because... who knows which will outperform so best...

these threads make me reaffirm that there is money to be made in the markets. There are people out there and Trading is a zero sum game.

takes a couple years of breakeven before you turn a consistent profit. Good luck
