LONG YM 84 5 pt stop 10 pt target Stopped ... looks to be one point too tight, havnt traded full time in a while due to work and working on tradeplan. Daytrading requires full concentration especially when I trade with tight stops as I do on small timeframes. Making a mental note of this for...

Original Thread --> http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=203132 Funding for my live trading is on the way so I havn't decided if I will keep this journal up or not but figured I would start today and see where it goes. Timestamp 8:34 shorting 74.5 on a stop, stop will...

Wakeup with discipline, 2 hrs before market open. Prepare for volatility events @ 8:30 AM. Set your trading levels and possible trades @ open by 9 AM as well as position sizing. Wait for your levels to get hit and don't trade in no man's land. Plan the trade and trade the plan, this is a...

I agree with you regarding everything you have said except I dont believe in bad deals! :D The deal will be what its supposed to be. Thanks for the words, good comparison...

I am aware there are people that are skeptical of certain claims here. I guess it could be down to 12,000 hours allowing for a 100% confidence interval. Yes, I am very dedicated towards my purpose. I know I came in this thread offering "nothing" to most people and asking for "something" back...

Yes some live trading record, but nothing impressive. Most notable are 2 small blowups several years ago lol. I have investigated several options. Credit Unions appear to be a very decent backup plan to get a good interest rate. I have contacted Mr. Bright, pataktrading. As I understand with...

Everybody has been very helpful! On the subject of loans, if anyone is an expert, I would very much appreciate it if they could comment on p2p vs other choices. I am a recent graduate, able to show paystubs for 20-40hrs a week depending on what is needed, do not have any assets. No chance...

Thank you JT and for your offer as well. That is very generous of you considering you don't know much about me. I am investigating all my options. One thing I know is that the money will be provided. That much I do not question, just going about the day to day to have it delivered to me...

As far as starting a journal, I've had one myself for the last 3 years of trading. But, if I start posting on elitetrader I intend to keep it consistent. Far too many start and stop and if I want to prove my legitimacy I will carry it out till the end. If I weigh this as my best option, I will...

Thank you volente I have contacted them for details.

If we do a 60/40 split I would not be incurring losses would I? I would have to weigh my options over a few weeks but if the terms are right or this generates any interest at all I see this as at the very least a great backup plan to my other ways of acquiring capital. I want to generate some...

Personal History: I am 22 years old and through several years of disciplined hard work (easily 16,000 logged hours into the craft) and the right teachers always coming into my life at exactly the right time, I have a profitable discretionary day trading strategy. I trade based on price action...

I have never heard of any prop futures. Suggestions?

Here's an idea I am considering. What if I were to post live trades for my daytrading for next 1-3 months. If someone sees me as viable I would be able to provide proof of my income and perhaps a personal loan would be possible by someone generous who would earn a small return 9-12% EOY for a...
