Unless I misread what's actually offered in their pricing (it was a bit odd the way the used colors to indicate what's offered while also having checkers below that), their pricing is not very competitive. I think I'm paying $130 for a real-time feed with IQFeed. CME futures and > 8 years of...

Maybe... To be clear, I didn't expect anyone to post broker statements. But there's no harm making a few calls or live trades to demonstrate actual trading skill. Certainly it would be far quicker to do than posting all these riddles. So, this thread is a bit like religion as the OP claimed...

I think you're too humble. It's very easy to blow up a 300K account trading with leverage. I saw at least one guy on this board almost do it. He went silent, so maybe he actually did blow up. Another guy took 10K to 100K rather quickly and then lost it all again... Consistency and managing...

Well, like I mentioned earlier I think it's hard to gain access to capital as an independent trader. If I were in the fortunate position to have someone stake me I would probably do it considering that I'm undercapitalized. I still think you're comparing apples and oranges, though, comparing...

That's great. Would you mind sharing approximately how large of an account you're using to generate those kind of returns? It's also my view that day trading or any kind of active trading only makes sense if you're making really good returns on your capital. If not, why invest all that time...

Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't speak for everyone, but I can only assume that a big motivation for why many people want to become traders is the independence and precisely to no longer have a boss or someone to answer to. If you're managing millions or billions for external investors you're putting on...

If you can pick almost every short term top and bottom on SPX and trade it (big difference between calling and trading, though), you'd be very, very wealthy quickly. Which raises the question: Are you very, very wealthy?

Nice! How does a good year look for you then?

You're right. I don't think these requirements exist in Norway. So, for a US citizen you to both meet the necessary regulatory requirements AND you need investors like I outlined earlier. Marty Schwartz featured in PitBull also started managing money after being a successful individual...

It's my impression that unless you a) have a verified track record showing good results over an extended period of time and/or b) Are well connected in the industry and/or have the right academic background it's going to be very hard for you to have someone invest in you. Of course...

I've seen you mention many times that your chart freeze. I'd say this is completely un-acceptable for a day trader to have this happen regularly. Maybe you should look to upgrade your trading hardware and software? What are you using?

NO.

Thought you retired from gambling in the markets? Ah. The lure of the market... hard to get away... :)

Probably. However, there’s plenty of people who trade based on rumors or tips. And which tend to do more research buying a new TV. :)

You went all in long because of a random forum post? I sure hope you’re joking.

Yeah. He was outed as a scamster on Big Mike's forum running another operation and banned as a result. I can't believe people are so incredibly gullible, but people still want to believe even after getting thorough warnings and then I'm accused of "hating" get-funded companies. I don't "hate"...

Agreed. I can easily drink a bottle of wine and get up in the morning and do my fasted morning run or go to the office, no problems. A friend of mine have severe issues just from a few beers. We're all different. As for porn. I haven't watched that since I was a pimple-faced teenager. Doesn't...

Interesting. I don't think the numbers add up either, but people are gullible and want to believe. The Apex founder claims on his website that he pulled $300K of profits from another funding firm. Very hard to believe that he would set up an operation like this if he actually were that...

Smart choice. However, this raises another concern with these firms. I've been enrolled myself and it happened only too often that my connection got messed up. Either I couldn't connect at all or I lost connection while holding an open position. To be fair, E2T actually deleted my trades on...

You beat me to it. Personally, I don't think the markets generally work that way. Markets move up/down when market orders deplete the order book. That's all I really need to know. Why that happen may be interesting, but it's really inconsequential for a technical day trader to know this and it...
