    Trying to Manage these Trading Combines. Anyone else?

    Uhm..sounds a little scattered of a trading plan. Tango brought up a good point. Could you expand on why so many different evaluations "running at the same time" and/or opposed to your own account. I would enjoy learning from your angle of attack on this. In any event, best of luck and...

    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    P.S. Google searches will lead you to your answer. In short; It's the same, but possibly without the effect of market depth.

    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    No, if you lose money on the sim, Earn2 Trade does not "get" (gain) that loss. It's a third-party independent simulator (like a game). But if you win (the game), and let me say here the sim is an independent duplicate of the real market, then Earn2Trade will just pay you out of their pocket at...

    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    I personally need some other traders, small or super large players to lose. In a zero sum environment (plus, notwithstanding commissions), which futures are, how else would I make a profit. Losses are incurred from individuals just trading all the way up to the world's largest hedge funds and...

    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    P.S.; A LiveSim on Rithmic could actually be beneficial to the trader as slippage is (almost) non existent. The primary exception of course is in a fast market, platform computing resources obviously have to be preserved for actual funded accounts and pricing on a Sim has been known to lag...

    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    No, never. In the Gauntlet and the Funded account sometimes I take a trade, just to trade. You think you see an opportunity, but the mind plays tricks. etc, etc. --best trading

    Earn2Trade Founder Charged With Fraud

    I passed the Earn2Trade $150,000 mini, got funded, so far everything has been going just fine, except for quite a few of my own stupid trades. I guess time will tell. Until then it's trading Earn2Trade as usual, at least till 9/30/2020 when they indicate a change is coming. Most Importantly...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with Earn2Trade

    Sorry to be a contrarian. Doubling the minimum margin requirements (i.e. ES @ $500.00) is possible (yes, even in a single day) and has been done many times. It is "very" tiring, and does not happen often, requiring both, yes some luck, and a lot of skill, and usually a huge amount of...

    My attempt to earn a funded account with Earn2Trade

    Friend: I wish it was that simple. Your math might be conceptually correct but is functionally difficult if not impossible using high leverage as it gives you no room to manage the trade, or the next trade, ... and so on, if you are looking to make a living at trading. I initially typed much...

    Is Topstep Trader legit or a scam?

    I digress. As a TopStep trader, or as a trader for anyone (including yourself) yes, you can still deduct expenses i.e. home office, computers, etc. This information is all easily available on the IRS.org website IRS publications.

    Interactive Brokers is a scam, 2-3x margin maintenance requirements

    I have a Masters Degree in trading (just kidding). I don't know what they give you after surviving 30 yrs making a living just trading (whatever it is/was it was probably made of fool's gold at that). Back to your statement. Over the decades I have seen dozens of big names (and small) drop...

    Serious: Last year I turned my account from 25k to 150k. Now my account is down to 90k.

    Steve: I feel your pain, Unfortunately, although all the brokers do a terrific job of having their customers sign all kinds of agreements and disclaimers that make them not responsible for anything, they don't have to be licensed or considered culpable in any manner by simply directing a new...

    Serious: Last year I turned my account from 25k to 150k. Now my account is down to 90k.

    (3k for 20 yrs.?) You should be able to deduct it all in one year, even get a big tax refund from the taxes you paid last year. That's because you acted intelligently and made a timely MTM election with the IRS. You did make a timely MTM election (or not!!, yikes) :( .

    Is manual day trading dead?

    In brief. Not by a long shot. Wish I had the energy this early morning to go deeper, but I just don't. It's as easy (or as hard...lol) to make a living as it was 30 yrs. ago. I'm on my thirtieth year trading full time (pofitably)....manually.

    No FX at IB any more for US residents?

    Hi Anacreon: While trading Forex can be like visiting the wild wild west of years gone by, there are a few good Forex brokers out there that justify one's business. Fortunately for me, I am one of the group of 5% (who really knows the exact number, certainly not me) that have managed to make a...
