Considering practically all of the responses came before I posted the details of the day, I would say yes? Either way, to stick to the $10k starting capital, the only way to proceed is if I transfer the funds to an options account. I am not able to trade a single dime with the remaining...

Definitely. That came into play today to some degree. Was looking to start of the first day strong, took more size than I told myself I would on such a low balance. When the mental stops were being hit, I didn't want to mark my first trade a lose. Either way, that's all excuses, I performed...

Looks like this thread blew up quite a bit through out the day. Judging by the last few replies on this thread, many feel quite definite that things are over - that is not true. As long as there is money in the account and the six months are not up, the challenge continues. I will update the...

Video update for the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNpz37-rj7g I am sure there is no need to mention that today was a major hit on the capital. I came in today looking to start the challenge with bang, but unfortunately the bang occurred on the other side. I am not discouraged by any...

Both. Right now my level to take profits would be between 3603-3605. But if price will find other levels to consolidate before there and I feel the trend is buckling, I will exit.

It looks like the price action is setting itself up to spring NQ over 3592. There have been multiple rejections on that level. If price begins to move above it, I might just add another two contracts to the position.

First trade taken, in NQ. Long 4 contracts at 3585.25. Stop would be <$3580.

Received email confirmation that funds have been posted to the futures account but I am still waiting for them to show up.

Allow me to further demostrate the significance of that 16362 resistance I noticed in the chart. This chart is from back in 2006-2007, the months leading into the nasty turmoil: Notice how that level used to be a support before? We bounced off from that level in four different...

Allow me to show an example of how with patience there will definitely be opportunities to hit the home run I need to reach my goal. The following chart is for Nikkei: At the start of this year we came right back to the high back in 2013. Once we started to reject those levels, a short would...

I believe I stated already that in almost all cases I will be making calls for where I am looking to enter or exit beforehand. If I do not, then I would post within minutes of the entry or the exit. Second of all, in the video I would display my orders in the TradeStation platform. Everything...

There is no major reasoning as to why I decided on this challenge this very moment. I am not bias towards the long nor the short side. If the market gives us downside, then my job will be even easier, if there is upside, I'll ride with it.

Hitting the goal in six months will obviously be difficult which is why I have labeled it as a challenge. I would prefer if we stay away from the improbabilities of me reaching such a goal, and instead wait for me to post my trades. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am waiting for the funds...

Appreciate you stepping in drownpruf obviously has his own agenda when he approached this thread. I am flattered enough that I pissed him off enough to search the internet for everything he could find on me. The unfortunate thing for him is that anything he did find led to me actually paving my...

I have little reason to be afraid of someone that comes in a thread topic and their main argument is to bash someone that is more successful than them at an earlier age. I meet your types every single day in life, it never changes. Keep up the attitude buddy, I am sure you'll get far in life...

I am not new to the industry. I have been trading for the past few years full time. I am simply basing my ambitions of my prior results.

Price is currently down to 0.9800. I am still in the trade, currently up $875 on 5 contracts. Going to watch if there will be a rebound here or not, if so, I will exit the trade. Just to make sure this is clear, this trade was not part of the $10k challenge. This is on a separate trading...

This would be an example of a trade, even though I have already taken an entry. On Japanese Yen (JYM14) I took a short trade @ 12:54:14 am. Filled price @ 0.9814. I am looking at the 60 minute chart and seeing the 0.9822 resistance. Simply using the top we witnessed on April 17th. We have had...

That will be done. I will be pointing out levels that I am looking for when it comes to the entries, and also the exits. When the trade is taken, I'll update the thread here as well. If further credibility is also needed, I can post a screenshot of the time the orders were filled.

Starting next week I will begin a public challenge. I am freshly depositing $10,000 into a futures trading account. During the course of six months, I will look to turn that balance into $100,000. Every single trade will be posted on this forum. I will also likely do a daily video update on...
