Here is my blotter for today October 6, 2008 from 3:09PM - 4:09PM. This is the first day I ever traded with real data. No formal training. (1 Contract) Im much more inclined to short sell for some reason. It took me a couple trades to realize the market was in an up trend and I started wining...

Haha don't be embarrassed! $1000 on 1 contract for one day is awesome. I posted your chart.

Here is some real proof that $1000 a day is definitely possible by trading 1 contract. Courtesy of MandelbrotSet

Do you mind posting your result in my other forum? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=139871 I can certainly do it if you'd rather?

That really depends on my mind set for the day. When my mind set is level, I kick ass in the simulated account. When my mind set is off(and I know when its off) the market definitely kicks my ass.

Thats awesome. How long have you been trading?

I appreciate the great response! I plan to start with real money very shortly.(1 Contract to start) I certainly hope it doest take years! I was told the same thing when I started in real estate although ended up shattering that mold. It would be great if I could do the same thing with day...

Very true, I couldn't agree more. However, you do have to make money, and know you can make money first.

I have to agree, thats a terrible excuse.

As novice trader I have been searching the internet for trades that people have posted of successful or even unsuccessful trades. Finding this type of resource is extremely rare but valuable. Most if not all of us learn from watching others do something well, or terribly, and learn from the...

The crashing economy makes for great CNN for us Canadians eh :p

Yeah but you guys make it back im sure or you wouldnt be here. What I do like about this business is that everything is up to yourself. Your as good as you want or as bad as you want depending on how much you work at it.

If I didn't no any better I would say that you're a starving Real Estate Agent? Nah that couldn't be it. Though there is quite a chip on that shoulder of yours.

That’s exactly how im going to start. I think there is definitely some truth to what you’re saying. There are a lot of people trading who are extremely successful! If I was able to pull $2000+ a day I wouldn’t be on this forum first of all, and second, I would be in a hotel room in the...

Holy Shit! Finally a big talker with some actually results...nice. How many contracts are you trading?

I never lose money! That’s why im hesitant about this profession.

Lol you would be suprised. I probably make twice as much as you, and im probably still half your age considering I havnt even made it to the legal drinking age in the "US of A". Our Real Estate Market isnt in the toilette like it is there...actually, it isnt just the real estate market thats in...

How do you do that!? How longhave you been trading to be able to pull off 20 pts a day?

What would you suggest? I would love to be able to find a mentor of some sort to set me up and point me in the right direction. However that seems like one of the most difficult things to do...
