Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Trading is a luxury, not a necessity. He can choose to not trade until he saved up enough of his own capital. I don’t see a problem trading his wife’s money if he is profitable. I see a problem using his wifes money as «tuition money». Do you agree? Maybe we’re mincing words, but you said...

Just an option that would be nice to have. As for funding, I'd prefer to trade my own funds, but as I don't have a 500K account it would make things easier with funding. I have been talking to a guy who's expressed interest, so you never know...

What if I want to brag to you or someone else about my stellar trading results? Would you believe my fancy Excel-reports?

Come to Norway and buy me dinner at Maaemo and I'll teach you how to spend more money in return. :)

If the trade performance was my only complaint I suppose I wouldn't bother, but the sum of those other issues is what's tipping the scale.

I actually did spend a bit of time to develop that spreadsheet for tracking my trades, but at the end of the day I have to log in to NT portal, download a PDF, open it and plot in values. I suppose I could be able to automate that part as well. However, I would much prefer to simply view this...

Hello guys, I'm a long time user and lifetime license holder of Ninjatrader (sunk cost) and customer of Ninjatrader Brokerage, but I consider taking my business elsewhere. Note: I do know that NT bought Tradovate. Tradovate seems like a good alternative, but I'm open for other suggestions as...

Maybe I mix you up with someone else, but aren't you already trading your own account? I've looked into these firms and I don't really see why anyone who don't have to (due to lack of funds) would trade with them.

Not really. I see a lot of claims, but no proof of any successful trading that's worth the effort trying to solve the so called puzzles of this thread. :) That said. It's an interesting thread and does contain some elemental and valuable truths. Particularly for a complete newbie. It does make...

Good post/approach. However, I wouldn't recommend him to do this with his wife's capital. However, on the undercapitalization part, I can't agree if I understand you correctly. $14K for a few MES is what I would say very well capitalized, so definitely not undercapitalized. You can trade with...

Question: Why do so many still believe there are anything of value to be found in this thread?

They say that people asking advice really just want confirmation of their own view or decision. The advice you've gotten is pretty much in agreement, but I have a hunch you're not going to take it? Will you let us now how you proceed? With a large account you can make good money in nominal...

On a linear scale the BTC chart looks like a disaster. With a logarithmic chart it's more pleasant. Based on the last two major corrections/dumps, 10K looks very much reasonable.

Gotcha. I don't use any indicators which signals entries/exits per se, but I'd love to. Just haven't found anything that works sufficiently or is properly auto-adaptive. Just basic stuff which plots some stuff I like tracking without my lazy ass having to plot it manually (and even risk...

Curious, @nooby_mcnoob. How much of your system/trading is based on rules and/or have an element of automation? I know you have an IT background and you've spoken warmly about using coding as a tool and you mention having scripts. But is all this just to assist your trading which in the end...

Humbly, I think the way to do it is to first find a size you're comfortable with or % risk per trade which is suited to your performance metrics and then scale up proportionally as equity grows. I.e., 20K per contract => Add one contract for every new 20K worth of profits. % risk per trade =...

That’s a big increase in size, @nooby_mcnoob. I’m sure you’ll be fine. Personally, I find that a day or two off can be necessary to get a loss out of the ordinary out of the system in order to avoid the irrational behavior of making back your losses quickly. Curious. How was your fills/slippage...

As some people in this thread are worried about the excess spending of governments and money printing. Why would Bitcoin be priced any differently if shit really hits the fan? Haven't these last few months shown precisely that Bitcoin isn't a hedge against that? As I don't personally see any...

That's a good post. I'll let it sink in before I reply. Let's be clear though: I never said it will go to zero. In fact, I never made any predictions about where BTC will go at all. There's some in this thread who seems to think that's a possibility, but I don't think I belong in that camp...
