what color shirt am I wearing then, hotshot?

For a god like trader as you claim to be, you certainly seem WAY too interested in getting published and making a profit...hmmm......I don't need to take this any further :)

So after 6 months of trading 1 lot, you are down 2k in your account? Doesn't sound like you are a profitable trader then, hence I agree with you that SPY is the better route for you. Costs become more important once you BECOME a profitable or at least break even trader. First and foremost...

LoL, it doesn't sound like you are trading appropriately if you are losing 20% of your account on one trade with the minimum lot size. But IF this did happen then you would expect that you would make it back and then some and be net profitable given the fact that YOUR method would allow for...

Oh, it's different. The poo here is just annoying. Talking about how great he is blah blah blah. The pigeon poo story and the like are entertaining and self deprecating. No one wants to read about how great the OP thinks he is but would rather laugh at his ridiculousness. At least that's...

If you are going to successfully trade ANY market, you must have a sound method and also understand your account size and what you can and cannot do. This is appropriate trading. Having a method that produces net profits (above commish) and also trading responsibly given the constraints of...

The only thing ET wants from you is funny stuff like your story of living under a bridge and eating pigeon poo to survive.

They are talking about SEC fees being raised not transaction tax.

It IS inherently more risky because the minimum trade size is 1 lot of ES and that equals 500 shares of the SPY. So you HAVE to assume more risk because of the conversion. You can't trade 1/5 one lot but you can trade 100 shares of SPY. Yes, leverage is great in the ES but like I said a...

ES trading is inherently more risky (as compared to SPY). But, if one is a good SPY daytrader, then one should work on transitioning to ES. Tax treatment is much more favorable and so are the fees. Especially now with SEC fee increasing 4 fold or whatever it is. Also, it depends on how you...

I don't understand what you are talking about? Are we talking EASE of scaling in and out or if you feel it's too risky vrs SPY? As a newb, trading SPY vrs trading ES might be the way to go only because you can trade smaller as you gain experience. But all the fees of trading SPY can add up...

This makes no sense, at least to me. Have you ever attempted to trade, the ES for instance? Its bid/offer just like a stock and you certainly CAN scale in and out.

Curt, give it a rest already

PM's begging to learn from you...??? AAaaaahahahaha :D Thanks for the great laugh my friend! But you do have one thing right, I have posted quite a bit back and forth with you. I never said I was perfect. To be honest, once you learn how to trade and can execute your method perfectly...

8+ years and going strong, sorry to disappoint you COLD. I know you desperately want everyone else to fail like you have but it's really not very nice of you. Some of us have earned and enjoy being successful. Not everyone can you know :)

COLD, trying to project your failures onto others won't work, no matter how many times you try under many aliases :)

You just cannot stop shilling for this guy can you :D

Hmmm, I guess the last 8+ years of daytrading index futures as my sole income never really happened, eh?

No new people coming in, just the appearance of new people in the form of you with a new alias everyday :D And no it doesn't make sense, you lying about your age, race, your trading etc etc etc is not teaching. It's just you blabbing away. So....tell us all the make believe pigeon poo...

Oh don't get all pissy because I made you look foolish. I can't take most of the credit, it's your stupidity that makes this all possible :D
