I despise long options, within a momentum trading framework, as they add complexity in the form of theta and vega. It's hard enough to manage risk without those two uncertainties. I'd rather hedge a portfolio with futures if possible. Selling premium, I have no experience with, but I do know...

This is the right answer, but getting the math right is a different story. It takes a little mastery and realistic expectation. If you can beat the benchmark at least two-fold on average swing/overnight, and four-fold intraday, you're ahead of the game. For the record, I don't swing trade...

Right. Musk accomplished more pondering on the shitter, than all of us combined will in our lifetime.

I stumbled into this old article/study: http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2019628,00.html Does happiness really top out at the 100k income level? I personally disagree, since the world has unlimited problems, where excess money could be allocated, providing one a sense of...

Doesn’t answer my question though. Will you allow unlimited drawdown, and intraday margin guidelines?

So, what’s the allowed leverage/drawdown once funded? Unless it’s unlimited, it’s a joke. I’ll gamble my own money until I can gamble more of someone else’s :)

That’s conservative, and smart, but at 100k initial, I don’t see 100% gains unless you’re at around say 10 NQ contacts, or by luck catch a crazy runaway market within the year.

Low frequency/High leverage, is the only chance a limited resource trader has, to make triple digit gains.

If I turned 20k to 100k in one year(certified), would Helios consider/guarantee a 100k offer?

I guess you can, but you’ll have higher data costs as a registered professional. Try it out. Peace

I get what you’re saying, but it requires some abstract thought to model and implement, and can be quantified. Been doing it myself for years. Keep in mind, most people aren’t wired to understand the multi-dimensional aspects of this.

Ok. I get that, but just be more patient and utilize proper compounding methods. It’ll pay off in the long run. The math works out in your favor, especially if your returns are near three digits, as you claim. Even if the prop firm offered 90%, they’ll keep taking that 10% when your account...

That’s what all the books say, but not how it really works, when you have skin in the game. Finding positive expectancy and maintaining it, are worlds apart. I’d have to start a journal here to explain why :)

OP. How many cars will you be trading for your experiment here? Are you posting trade prices/times, or just PNL and account balances?

Hey Shqiptar! Why the fuck would you deal with a prop firm if your netting 95% annual? Are you all upstairs?

How can I have sex with a beautiful call girl, without paying her?

300%

I do. Look at Trump
