Not so. With futures, average ticks per trade rules. But if this is what you're going with, then once again, your 20% gain on one trade isn't a 20% gain in your account, so your math still sucks. I think you really mean a 20% gain on the option, but everyone knows this means nothing. Lots of...

You're right in terms of fund managers. The money is in the fees. As the classic quote goes, where are the customer's yachts? As for Soros, isn't he trading his own money? When you talk huge funds, they are making what... 5%, 10% if luckly? Its only a few like Renessaince that can maybe get...

Honestly, I don't understand your match. Why even list % return? Say the first trade made $177, end of story. I bet that doesn't sound glamorous enough, so this is why. 17.7% from a 10k porfolio is $1,770. I don't know what you're compounding monthly. You keep talking compounding, and then...

That is correct. I have seen enough about options to see that its not the least bit easy, and can be down right dangerous in the wrong hands. But there are many ways to make small and consistent profits seem as if its just easy pickings that you replicate over and over again (until you go...

My point with that statement is that its easy to trade a 10k account well because you won't have the pressure you would as if its a 100k account and you need to make money to pay the bills. When you have a trading service and most of your income comes from subscriptions, then trading a 10k...

I have taken this from your website where you quote PnL for individual trades. The percentages go anywhere from -33% to +55%, but the portfolio value only changes by less then $100 to maybe $300. So clearly these percentages are based on the cost of the options. (ie. You pay $100 and make...

I got the same PM but she also mentioned that she would bring her sister when she comes to see me.

Finally a post of yours I can understand. If you're happy with the site, then I'm happy for you. While you're asking yourself why are these guys giving him the stiff-arm, I keep asking myself why is this guy putting so much effort into signing up members when his trading skills should have him...

If my heart surgeon wasn't paying his mortgage from doing open heart surgery, I would be very concerned. So if we start with 500k, we now have 900k, but you already said this wasn't possible on your website because of liquidity. And you still haven't addressed how members are supposed to get...

What does this even mean? Selected? Is this not your only trading account? How many are there? It is exactly relevant. Its far too easy to have 5 accounts, 4 of which suck, and 1 which, by way of statistical luck, turns out good. I want to see each of those trades you say you take every...

I'm kind of late to this thread (since I stopped following it a while ago), but since I see some recent activity, I quickly glanced over the posts and wanted to add my input. I'm sorry to say that I'm not very impressed with what @Kim Klaiman is sharing. First of all, why does he keep linking...

I am using Sierra Charts and couldn't be happier. The amount of customization is unreal. It works very well over multiple monitors and leagues ahead of IB TWS. I do still use IB though just to look up other instruments and general market type stuff since I don't care to have all the data...

Here is the thing though. You think that when this huge shock is coming, the government will just stand by, watch the US currency get decimated, see the use of bitcoin take over, and just watch it happen? Back in 1971 when the US went off the gold standard, they did it to protect the US...

Because of government control, you actually have a bank that is considered big, meaning they employ lots of people, lend lots of money, allow people to finance a dream, etc. Of course I don't like how the banks are bailed out, since there is no moral hazard, but seriously, under your model of...

Totally agree with this. Agree with this too. This I don't agree with as much. Granted, I trade the NQ much more, which has its own set of issues since it isn't as thick as the ES, but I watch the ES tick for tick. There are many places, like previous swing points where prices are just...

You clearly don't appreciate how far society has come because of government oversight. Now I will be the first to admit that I do think they overstep their boundaries many times, but money has to absolutely be central. It has to be backed by something, and the only thing big enough is the...

But are you really just going for the tick? Even if you get filled in the most ideal way and at the most ideal spot, the idea isn't to be a market maker, at least not for the retail trader at home. If I lets say put my limit sell at 2460 because its some previous resistance level, and I get...

If you look at the time stamps, we posted at the same time!

How about you take a minute to show how I am being a moron instead of just name calling. I took the time to find your post where you claimed to make a shit load of money, and it therefore follows that you shouldn't have an access to capital problem. You could even say you made it, you lost it...

LOL... oh I'm sorry, did I not read your post properly about how you made all this money and offered to show people through PM how you did it? Weren't you even going to make a thread about it so we can all learn? Edit: I'll tell you what is really pathetic. Saying you turned $300 into 22k and...
