I will read that thread tomorrow. Immediately, it sounds like the equivalent of a lottery with a good amount of survivorship bias. Plenty of people got filthy rich on BTC. Plenty of people are in deep drawdown on their BTC holdings. I’ll try to stay out of arguments. My main point in this...

Could you elaborate? It’s possible this isn’t stated explicitly in the white paper, but inflation hedge, digital gold, store of value have certainly been part of the sales pitch. Yeah. And I really dig that. I’m not a hater. However, regardless of how cool this is I don’t really see the...

It's my first time commenting lately and I'm just sharing my thoughts on the subject. A friend of mine said it's the time to start loading up now, but I fail to see the value based on the argument I put forth. Facts: We currently have inflation and a sell-off in equities. Questions: 1. Did...

A big paradox with the entire crypto space is that it's been fueled by precisely free money and even helicopter money from the central banks which the crypto crowd is so scared of. Now that the central banks shut off the money supply - crypto is tanking. Oh, the irony. No schadenfreude on my...

It was supposed to be a hedge against inflation and an uncorrelated asset class. I was considering an investment near the highs, but considered the technicals weak at the highs and decided to bide my time in anticipation of a pullback. After this major sell-off I lost interest. I suppose it...

Your stop is simply too tight for current conditions and/or your skill set with the market moving as much as 13 points in one minute.

Thank you. You're very well funded then. I imagine it helps. Nice. How much did you size up from your prior typical size of around 4-6 contracts if I remember correctly?

Way to go, @nooby_mcnoob! You need to get yourself a new username. :) To put things in perspective - mind sharing what capital base you're using to generate those kind of returns? Is this all from day trading futures or do you do other stuff too?

Not knowing much about the job or if there would be any value with the job beyond $$$, I personally would never take it if you're doing as well as you say you are with trading (I happen to believe you) even if you're currently earning considerably less as a trader. For me, a large part of the...

I already made a thread about it here. Is it common with brokers that only offer paper (PDF) statements of your account/trading activities? | Elite Trader Seems like many consider what I look for a premium feature typically not offered by discount brokers. I would just like to have all my...

Micro commissions are generally expensive compared to e-minis. I have the lifetime license, so my RT cost is $2.04 for one e-mini and $0.56 for 1 micro. In comparison using 10 micros the RT cost is $5.60 for the equivalent of one e-mini. I don't know how other retail brokers compare, but I...

Sounds like she made a bad trade. :)

Right. I'd say if you at any point think "What the hell is happening here or what the f''k is the market doing now?" you're no way near where you want to be. The ability to stay out when things are not clear and wait for the right moment is no doubt important. I still find this challenging at...

I'd love it if Ninjatrader would offer Tradovate. I'm fairly happy with Ninjatrader as a broker, but I miss automated account activity/statements. Hell, I'm not even asking that much. Just let me watch a simple P&L graph online and save me from having to plot these things manually in Excel from...

Why do you have full confidence in that? I think you're right, though. Another key element is that due to the current index nominal values even a slower day still have a lot of points to offer, i.e., 1 % change on ES 1000 = 10 points while 1 % change on ES 4000 = 40 points. So, even if the dust...

KISS, baby. Is it also possible that what you once considered complex became simple through experience? I feel that way if I try to talk with someone unliterate in trading just like I do if I were to discuss basic math with someone who doesn't understand basic math or whatever other subject it is.

I seem to remember you a few years back here, but then I think you stopped posting for a while? Did something click for you eventually during that period or what's the story?

I'm using this one: Clicker - One-Click Chart Trading in NinjaTrader 8 - Volaty Trading Works great. It's not really a chart trader the way NT is set up. Way too cumbersome. Incredibly annoying that @NinjaTrader_Ray (the company) doesn't pay attention to customer needs and implement the basic...

That's great. Well done.
