It's definitely not safe to argue that less vol in 2014 would have been more survivable or made at least the same returns as 2015 . Put your thinking cap on. Have the "yahoo boys" ran Monte Carlo simulations over their 2015 results and their 2014 backtests?

Exactly, even Sosnoff will back you up here.

What I'm trying to get my head around is that in the Tasty Trade interviews, Sosnoff talks about how he used to monitor Karen's positions/ risk- Just like they do with all clients( I assume under TOS) . So if Sos and the TD family knew what was going on, why did they put her on a pedestal and...

More like she was acutally "guilt-tripping" 50% of her fees to a Charity.

TastyTrades most prolific figure turns out to be the very crook that the show despises, and far worse than the legitimate funds that the show regularly attacks. ...I hope TD don't force ET into shutting down these Tasty Trade threads again. :(

This guy is a really good salesman! Awesome job on the company. I'm willing to pretend that he actually made millions trading FX ;)

There's so much BS on this forum, don't believe anything. Go work at a prop shop or look elsewhere

What a load of BS. Utter dribble.

I'm really not sure what you're arguing here, you've already stated that you haven't seen them make any claims for expected annual returns, and that you don't watch the show religiously- so how exactly would you know what's been said live on air? All you're doing is making assumptions. It looks...

Here's another recent interview with Jerry Parker http://bettersystemtrader.com/017-jerry-parker/

lol.

When you tell someone you trade full time they generally think you're rich- especially if your dressed the part, drive a nice car, live in a nice house etc. Once upon a time i used to enjoy telling people, it was almost an ego boost. These days I try to avoid it, i'm numb to it and couldn't...

Well I watch the show everyday, and unfortunately you're completely wrong in your assumptions. Tasty trade have never pitched 7-10% p/a for an expected return on a typical viewer account size. Sos has mentioned the 1% a day several times, it's no misinterpretation. He's also said live on air he...

The whole Tastytrade mantra is focused around "high probability strategies". however Just because a strategy takes lots of high probability trades(eg <90%), doesn't mean that's it's going to be a "profitable" strategy- The best way to look at a strategy's profitability is to look at it's...

Consolidated Level 2 from every exchange offers information you wouldn't know if you were only looking at the NBBO. The relevance of Consolidated lvl 2 depends on how your trading- if you're swing trading then it's a waste of time, if your scalping the tape then it's almost essential.

No you wouldn't, profitable traders rarely post on forums. Sure 99% of FX traders lose, however your premise that FX is just random walk is flawed. All back-testing requires walk forward testing. Assuming that all back-testing is based on perfect entries/ exits is total non sense. In Tom's...

"Back testing assumes perfect entry and exit" No it doesn't, it depends what back testing engine you're using. Serious traders code their own, inside a custom platform "but never met a rich forex trader" FX has a natural supply/ demand where central banks are forced to trade even if it's not...

What's worse than a stock crash is a Bull Market. This grind higher has been sick.

Yeah it's a nice country, especially if you're into the outdoors. Foreigners really seem to appreciate it when they come here, even the yanks! Yup the US hours kill me! I have to sleep during the day, so it's like working night shift :( I lived in South East Asia for most of last year, and the...

Get your hand off it.
