You're probably trading money you can't afford to lose. I had the problem when I started out. After I raised some more money and decided I could afford to risk all the money in my account, my nerve problem went away.

His real name is Jai Krishan Ramavtar. He worked as a IB (Introducing Broker) for World Trade Financial Commodities LTD from 9/89 - 11/89. Two years later World Trade had it's NFA membership permanantly withdrawn due to it's sales practices...

I don't have access to his disclosure document. At the IASG site, the Crabel Capital Management-Diversified (1X leverage) lists a max. drawdown of 4.24% since 1-92 and a annualized return of 10.41%. His assets under management went from under 200 mill. in 2000 to over 1.2 Bill. now. With those...

No big disaster...no big blowup. All his clients left over the past couple of years. He was losing money, but at a slow bleed. Very similar story by other trend following traders. The risk/reward is worse than for people managing money ala Toby Crabel. The customers have figured out that you...

Thu, 13 Mar 2003 From Tom Basso (with permission) Ed, I saw a comment in the January FAQ's referring to "Tom Basso does not like very much heat (25% drawdowns max)." Everyone should remember that I approach the trading game as a person managing other people's money. I have tried to...

He left the 30 year pit in 2000 and returned to the 10 year pit in Jul. 2001. The company he invested in is called Appiant Technologies (ceased US operations on Mar. 22, 2003). I can't confirm the size of the loss, but I can confirm that he was trading 3k contracts at a time in the 10 year...

lol....he's never on a top 100 list of donors....has a live in mistress (while living separately from his wife who lives in Calif.). The only statements I've seen about actual use of money include a limit of 1 mill. to each of his kids for inheritence and the rest going to Planned Parenthood...

I'm a fan of Gary Bielfeldt. Any guy that can start with 1k and run it up to be one of the largest bond traders in the country has my admiration. I did a search of him on Google and loved looking at his fight with the IRS in an attempt to get a 85 mill. refund for Tbond losses in the 80's...

Looks like it might be turning into a trend up day...not my kind of day for trading turning points. I'm banking my 4 pts. and calling it a day...have a good one.

That's all I do...ala Tudor Jones. It looks like I might be a little early...941.00 is my uncle point.

I just shorted the SP...938.00. Same old story...stopped upside momentum, double top with jnegative volume divergence. We'll see...usually win 75% of the time.

1 trade.... 7 SP points so far... Glad I'm trading today....

I play double top and double bottom's with volume divergences on the SP market. I have to wait until the market isn't trending for this to work. I had two trades on Friday...both made a few points. I've been trading this pattern for two years and it seems to be very reliable (as long as I avoid...
