no market for that and a ridiculous business model. no matter how good your friend is, he'll have drawdowns and he will feel pretty much unappreciated by those using his services when that occurs. most will leave and spread the word he is loser and the service a scam. in the end, instead of...

maybe you're over simplifying the problem. iran has been adding much fire power to their arsenal in the last decade, they are far from where iraq was when the us invaded. they have plenty of mid range missiles (chemical warheads) that could hit israel pretty bad and they have been consulting...

the iran standoff is going to kill the party pretty soon. oil above $100 and the potential of major conflict involving israel and the arab countries sparked by a preemptive attack on iran's nuclear facilities, might disrupt the global economy and erase a couple of thousand points in dow.

would you be able to devise a system that loses one point in the ES each and every day? it is almost as difficult as making one point in the ES, however conventional wisdom would prompt to say "that's piece of cake". making (or losing) one point in the ES per day is psychological job...

JJ please dont answer to this as this is for high school graduates and above.

i think he is talking about you JJ. keep cool, you can still get an education.

so what? anyone can do that. even mr. 30% per annum.

arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand.

do you really believe if one loses $3500 out of an $4000 account, still will be able to recoup those loses? of course not.

the key difference between doing $60 with $4k or $40K is that a $60 loss equals to a 1.5% DD in a $4K account while it only represents a 0.15% DD in a $40K account. The DDs have a logarithmic scale, ie a 50% loss requires a subsequent 100% profit just to breakeven, and thus it much easier...

i used to work for a fortune fastest growing company back in the late 90's and i didn't see anyone leaving when their stock options were vested. working for a great company is the best thing you can do professionally. at some point, most of the office mates drove their own 911 but if one was to...

2000% return with just 50% drawdown. Gee, you're a genious.

these guys follow jim beam instead. a bottle per day.

of course it is possible for a couple of days or months. maybe during a extended bull or bear market as we are seeing from 02 onwards. but no one is able to get such return consistently years and years over covering all sorts fo market conditions without going bust at some point. 1.5% per...

pro options traders use to comment that the most profitable trading resides on exp week and specifically on exp friday due to heavy gamma scalping. but the problem is pro traders usually get in and out of the trades with minimum transaction costs and do it very rapidly, using no more than two...

when setting objectives, it all comes down to realism. if one sets a $60/$4000=1.5% profit target per day, then it is doom to blow out. Professionals make around 50% a year with max DD close to 15% and no risk of ruin. Obviously, those pro's could return 100 or 200% instead, but only at expense...

now that's a reputable hedge fund manager. i am sure jim simons always watches his show.

Car ownership data reveals that the most expensive automobiles are owned by the middle class, not by millionaires. The car is a symbol of personal achievements which only makes sense to those that need something that might signal their success to neighbors, colleagues, family, or a stranger...
