You are gambling. You will learn from this and move on. There's absolutely no reason why you should even be trading 1 full lot with 2k in initial capital. That is 50:1 leverage. It's a recipe for disaster.

LOL...he's trading 1+ full lots with a 2k account. You do have much to learn.

There is always commissions. If you don't understand this then Oanda's got you bent over. Places that advertise no commissions are simply factoring that into the spread to attract newbies. I pay 2.50 each way for IB + the spreads but I know that it's much cheaper than Oanda will ever be. I trade...

Why do you need specific dollar figures. It's a matter of privacy. He has shown u VAMI, sharpe, calmar, and time recovery and others. I am confident that even with small account (10k and below), these numbers are still hard to come by.

He already posted his portfolio analysis a few pages back.

Really? You look at MTM ? LOL...yea I think there's a MTM thread on the internet here somewhere....sorry...you're the retard

What's the point of posting pictures in hindsight? lol...

slightly bad day -190

firs time posting here

Hindsight analysis is so funny...I love it when newbs try to be smart by posting charts/analysis after the fact .

How do you automate discretion?

Why do you guys insist on all of these? A public website is for sharing, and he chooses what he wants to share. It's his thread. He started it for his own purpose. He doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. If you don't like how he's running his journal then don't read it.

Any big company will eventually get stale. Apple will be no exception. Trade stocks, don't fall in love with them.

Lol...are you serious? These jobs are gone forever. It's not the natural cycle of business. It's called automation. Technology is replacing actual human work. There's no cycle to this; it's a great improvement in productivity and efficiency but at the cost of human labor. Last time you cross a...
