Maybe I am not.. Or maybe I am because I am focused on playing great defense...

Thanks for the encouragement :) I have thought about that as well : With your own money tho, if you are risking a SIGNIFICANT chunk of your NET WEALTH (or/and your friends'/family's), it is much harder to trade.. Because you think too much about latent LOSSES, and that makes good trading...

Yes of course.. I have thought about that... and especially I don t want someone to "steal" my trading style/strategy "for free" basically (or just by assuming a limited risk...). But the thing is to start reducing your risk (%of equity) you need some money.. 100,000$/€ minimum imho to have...

For additional money... Thanks for your argumented opinions.

How come so few posts on Elite Trader actually deal with trading !!! IE trading targets (udlg, entry, exit)?? Most posts are about whether or not you can get an edge on the market... but nobody takes the risk to say what he is actually doing... So I guess not many "Elite" traders around...

does the "view count" function really work??.. +700 views since my post about the trading competition and only 2 likes from Elite Trader on my FB profile... thanks guys !!...

My weekly bullish targets announced on Monday on my FB page have also provided good reversal points : Gold : 1350 CAC40 : 3970

I don t think there is smth like an "acceptable" profit per lot.. it very much depends on your style : - if you want to have a VERY high win rate ratio, you will be VERY happy with a few ticks.. (and no other choice..) - if you are aiming for the fences (ie swing trading typically), you...

My post killed this thread it seems.. sorry !! :eek:

Then, I excuse you ! ahah

CAN T feel the LOVE guys !!! :( :) +200 views since this morning post, which have translated in no new "likes" on my FP page :confused:

Sad.. altho he s coming from a sell side background (ie banks, which may explain his lack of ethics.. lol) There was another guy whom interview was taken off the book : got involved in pumping his illiquid stocks valuations.. Michael Lauer

Oh ok, sorry misread, you are talking about notional, not risk 2.5k... By the way-- got lost on HOW ON EARTH "25k A DAY" translates to "250k A WEEK" ?????!!!!!..... (LOL my trading weeks are long ENOUGH with 5 days, trust me ...!) Otherwise... I found the idea of comparing turnover...

10% RISK per trade is pretty H E A V Y stuff !!! You d better be VERY good at trading before trying to take systematically that kind of risk.... Or you ll blow up your SUPER fast...

So what does it mean? That he was still trading futures when he was 100M heavy? Of course !! he is not going to start learning about value investing after having been a successful trader... I am just saying he will take more of an investor approach in his RISK MANAGEMENT... Instead of risking...

Probably yes.. only problem is to tell the timing... I think a lot of bears have suffered badly in the 2012/2013 rebound... I will make an IMPORTANT announcement on what --I-- think is going to happen in the next 2/3 months in the markets.. something RATHER DRAMATIC... Don t worry, it will...

YUP !! IF YOU DONT HAVE ACCESS TO CAPITAL, THEN YOU NEED TO --TRADE-- AS OPPOSED TO BEING AN --INVESTOR-- **BUT** AS SOON AS TRADERS GET ACCESS TO CAPITAL, THEY REDUCE RISK.. TO TEND RATHER TOWARDS INVESTORS (THINK LARGE HF)

IT HAS **ALWAYS** BEEN SUSPECTED THAT STEVE COHEN WAS GETTING AN EDGE FROM GETTING REPORTS FROM WALL STREET FIRMS AHEAD OF OTHER CLIENTS (FRONT RUNNING). INSIDER TRADING IS JUST AN EXTENSION OF THAT... **BUT** I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY OTHER "STAR" TRADER FOR WHOM RUMORS ABOUT HIS EDGE WOULD BE...
