    SMB Futures Tryout

    It is, but for that matter, the other hamster wheels pay 80 for a lower target.....so there is that I suppose. I am going to go out on a limb and say this fails.

    SMB Futures Tryout

    Well yeah, he is asking that you make 10k on the tryout instead of 5, so that's probably true.

    SMB Futures Tryout

    For what it is worth, I got an email from Merritt Black saying that he is no longer w/ SMB, and is opening his own firm. The rules are even harder to accomplish. Firm called Apteros. SMB still has a futures tryout available it seems though....

    Why the US has so much trouble with COVID-19

    Oh, so its all politics. You are probably one of the truly enlightened inclusive people out there thay preach 'tolerance', but only for those that agree w/ you. Also, look at the worst hit: NYC, LA, SF, Chicago.....all bastions of conservative values I am sure. But its ok, because "My gang...

    Why the US has so much trouble with COVID-19

    We were told by the WHO that it 'doesn't transmit from human to human.' Then it was, 'there is no need for a mask.' (Fauci) Then it was, well there is no reason to believe it will come here, based upon SARS. (CDC) So there is all of that I suppose.

    Why the US has so much trouble with COVID-19

    Uh.....you might want to look into Hong Kong, Thailand, various provinces in China, Australia (Melbourne) before you jump to that conclusion.

    Earn2Trade error

    So this was fun. Today, I kept getting "trade timed out" on orders placed. I then tried to do it again. Guess what? They finally filled - throwing me over the maximum position allowed rule. Wonderful, and they cannot even fix this. What else is odd - they can't give you 'live commissions'...

    Obviously, the ES doesn't fit your personality, unless you are suicidal.

    This virus is a nightmare within a nightmare...how can the markets be at all time highs?

    I am in Columbus, Ohio - my fiance is at Ohio State University Hospital, one of the largest in the country. The COVID cases aren't taxing the hospital at all. They are finding more cases, but keep in mind that most people don't even have symptoms. There is more testing, that is all. Turn off...

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    You should also be aware that if you trade micros - they change 2.22 a side unless you ask them to give you the real commission structure. Wow. Hard to believe that these places are thought of as hamster wheels.

    Earn 2 Trade the gauntlet

    Just a heads up gang..... For shits and giggles I responded to a mini gauntlet (lifetime price) offer.....ahem......but whatever, that's not the point. Make sure you recognize that the amount of contracts you are allowed to trade is UP TO, not that you can right away like anywhere else. Got...

    I need a candid review of FTMO

    Are you going to double the account ever ten percent? Also, the live account is then 40k. So it goes up 4 times immediately upon passing. Buy it or don't - doesn't effect my bottom line either way, just better than trying to get ten then five percent for a smaller account. Ten percent in a month...

    I need a candid review of FTMO

    Check out the5ers. Seems to be a lot more friendly as far as the rules are concerned.....although there is a drawdown....but there is also the ability to hold positions over the weekend, and 6 months to make the target, about 6 percent I believe.

    I need a candid review of FTMO

    They changed it. It used to be 10 and 10. That was enough for me to stay away.

    I need a candid review of FTMO

    All you need to do is get a ten percent return within 30 days. And then do it again. And then you get funded. Sounds legit.

    wtf. Oil getting bailout

    And the easiest way to take care of the market is to ban imports of oil from other nations, with the exception of a handful, and then negotiate prices ahead of time, kind of like a futures contract w/ delivery. I suspect Canada would love a fixed price most of the time, maybe like 3 years out...

    wtf. Oil getting bailout

    The thing about oil is that you can't simply shut off wells. Also, this is an economic war started by Saudi and Russia. He is simply firing back. There had already been 9 percent of workers laid off from the Permian. SA and Russia want to cripple that industry, and for obvious reasons. Here is...
