You just conceded that it is indeed possible. Everyone agrees it is unlikely. However, you can't seem to wrap your head around the idea that there are those of us who have been profitable over thousands of trades through many years. Just get over it already. This whining is sounding...

Oh please...

One of the dumbest statements I have ever read. Finding PRODUCTIVE (key word) use of ANYONE'S money should be rewarded. What planet are you on??? Ingenuity and the ability to make money are somehow bad?

What is wrong with the math? 140 pips is at 1:1 leverage is about a 1% gain. 140 pips at 1:10 leverage is about a 10% gain. 140 pips at 1:100 leverage is about a 100% gain. If you are making 420 pips (140 x 3) at 1:1 leverage that is about a 3% gain. If you are making 420 pips (140 x...

I have no doubt that there are up and down movements WELL above 500 ticks in a single day. Just watch a tick chart for 5 minutes and anyone can see that. However, it was insinuated that it was somehow possible to consistently net 500 pips per day trading EUR/USD. Maybe I read it wrong...

Your math is not compounding the returns. If your returns were that stellar and you made THAT many pips consistently, why WOULDN'T you plowback your returns into your account and compound everything???? I hope you realize I am only now responding to this thread because it is entertaining...

Sure, here are the yearly returns ranking of the TOP 100 CTAs out of several hundred that this particular website follows. http://findctas.com/index.php?option=com_rankings&task=ytd You simply will not turn 10k into $29M in 30 trading days. Stop.

Yeah. Ok...

I can count just fine. Again, I repeat... 320 pips on EUR/USD is 300% return PER DAY at 100:1 leverage. Even at 10:1 that is still 30% per day. Compound 30% returns each day for 30 trading days and $10,000 balloons to $26,199,956.44 STOP THE INSANITY!!!!! lol

Since you have no problem posting about the pips you have made today why not show a screenshot of your trading account confirming the entries and exits. Feel free to black out all other information with microsoft paint. If you don't want to do that, then post your entries here in real time...

First, you said 500 pips on EUR/USD alone, not on trading multiple pairs. Secondly, the average daily difference between open and close is still about 150 pips. So in order to grab 500 pips on a given day you would have to effectively capture EVERY movement of the intraday pricing. Even...

Not really... There have only been a handful of days over the past year where the 24hr open and close differ by 500 pips on EUR/USD. And no, making 50 pips on 10:1 leverage is not making 500 pips per day.

Buying a penny stock at 1:1 can be much more volatile than a 10:1 FX position. Like I said, it TOTALLY depends on how much leverage is used, therefore it is absurd to make the blanket statement that forex is always more difficult to trade than X, Y, or Z. Remember, nobody is forced to...

I don't understand what you mean at all considering that speed of losses/gains is completely dependent on account size, leverage, and position size. A 100:1 position moves 10x faster than a 10:1 position, so on and so forth...

What about simply opening your own fund? If you have a solid track record you should pitch it to everyone under the sun, try to collect as much AUM as your trading style can handle, and then continue trading just like you would with your own funds. Besides, make sure you aren't joining a...

Received as promised. Thanks a ton!

I hear new hires have to take a $2000/month draw, can only trade 1 contract at a time, and get benched for a week if they lose $500. Anyone hear otherwise?

Hey, I'll let you know when it arrives! Thanks again...

You have Paypal?

Hello ET'ers Haven't seen any recent threads regarding the Series 3 and was wondering if there was any preferred method of study in terms of looking at specific materials and if anyone had any recommendations. It appears that there are plenty of vendors, yet I was hoping the knowledgeable...
