Out of interest who on these forums are accredited traders.

So by that it means you have no industry experience, then retail prop is the only way for you to go, and that by definition entails a huge amount of risk which you absorb. We've gone accredited trader to avoid the high failure rates associated with retail prop firms, at best being 90% and often...

No, the simple rule is if you want to do it don't, if you don't want to do it then do it, if it's uncomfortable it's probably correct, if it's painful it's probably wrong, if it's easy it's probably wrong, and if you're not sure do nothing, unless you are fighting then keep adapting until you...

I'm starting to believe I am the only one who has different brokers for different trade types, AMP is a secondary broker not primary. I am also starting to believe I am the only one who doesn't really care about relatively minor differences in commissions, routing speed, and so on. Which makes...

Experience always aces theory, you do realise this is about futures not cryptos. I'm starting to wonder if IB indirectly participates in these forums, it would match their marketing approach, one moment, right, there is more at play here with IB than meets the eye...

The average is 1-2% return on capital, 3-5% if you are exceptional, 7-10% is unheard of and all assuming you are trading for preservation of capital, not martingale style. That's per month, not per week, and certainly not per day. You could theoretically make those daily figures on a sub $1k...

I know, they just had Top Marques, I'm fascinated if they take it all down and put it all back up again or leave it there between. Frieze in London take over Regent's Park the whole month for a 3day event, it's seriously annoying. Eurotrash was a funny tv series, they revived it for a Brexit...

Accurate, I have had accounts with IB and did not like their business practice, but as with the weather, everyone has an opinion. My view is look outside and make a decision based on experience, you can also take the opinion that if they have to increase margins above average they are running...

Monaco, don't, I was there today for business, it's changed and not for the better. Was talking to some expats at Cafe de Paris who have been living there for five years or so, they confirmed the past year things have become worse. They're prepping for the Monaco Grand Prix already.

Unless they trade crypto assets then it's different.

Right, you're in it for income trading, very different game, I'm in it for capital trading. Amp for discount, Wedbush via introducing broker for primary, CQG as platform so same tech on both. Done, I love being experienced. In very good mood, drove across the Swiss mountains overnight and just...

You can, but they have a habit of making up the rules as they go along. In volatility they will be one of the first to increase and have one of the highest margin requirements of any broker, being one of the last to reduce. Basically for what you would consider a semi-discount average retail...

I like that, let's help the guy out, the financial markets are about money, money is numbers, so ... Training cost is $300-$500k, 10,000 hours by average US hourly income. TopStepTrader is around $3k or so with a 9% success (depending on your definition), as per the numbers I was given, the...

Saudi Aramco, assuming they can find a way to falsify the reserves.

And why do you think you have any say in the pre-requisites given that they are the ones with the methodology, the technology and the capital and you are one out of 7.6billion people, with the added bonus you don't want to pay for what costs upwards of $300k for training.

Now, going back to the original question, don't worry lylec305 won't give up but there are more important things to discuss, after all am never going to be popular efficiently taking money from those who over work and over leverage, my speciality. In the older days of crypto you could make...

I know, normally no-one understands the difference between a pseudo-question and a margin or error approach. So you also have an inferiority complex believing you are a teacher, and yet ...

If you actually have a question, preferably intelligent, why don't you ask it, one moment, right so you're an options trader and programmer as a basis, answering with short one liners, posting a lot of media, and overusing the term "libtard", interesting. The margin of error rule is the method...

Before we start, you need to know I work on a 100:1 basis and can go to 1,000:1. This will become important as we go along, on that note let's begin. Obviously you cannot read, margin of error rule again, they are different figures.

I see your margin of error confusion, you're missing the timeframe component, easy mistake to make. I segregate accounts by unit size per broker per return which is linked to timeframe, but per day on that account, yes, however I prefer capital trading not income trading, much less effort...
