    borrow money to trade

    I got around 200k from a good friend of mine to trade with and pay him 7% yearly net. He has some cash so it didn't make a difference for him and its been good so far and few other friends have put 20-30k in.

    I have never used T.A, and 40-50% return trading what are in essence penny stocks is not as impressive as you think, how can I prove this without posting personal info or tax returns. Anyways all i was doing was asking a opinion on entries i dont know why there is so much hate. Take care

    I dont know why you think im being disingenuous, my only intentions were to ask a question. I asked this same question in another thread and mentioned it was for secondary system. I have only traded off the bid and ask and stated in my first thread that I never used T.A or any type of...

    That is the downside of these smaller companies, but i will buy options in oppositely correlated sectors to hedge against. I have tried using weeklies but i did not see a advantage to it.

    thats a great point, scaling in is an option but these small cap stocks have large intra day moves and wide spreads that make it slightly difficult. Sadly these stocks do not offer options. sadly 99% of these dont offer options,

    Momentum and Trend Trading entries Hey Guys, I have been looking to build a strategy for a while that targets small cap stocks mostly under $5. Everything I’m looking at is quite bullish; RSI between 60-100. So it’s basically a cross between a momentum strategy and a trend trading system...

    Should I consider a prop firm? Or just trade my own funds? ($2 mil)

    I don't thinks that's true, there are many great traders and even funds who are limited by their size being to big. You can do things with 100k that you cant do with 10m

    How long did it take for you to find/discover your trading edge?

    2.5 years and about 4 to make decent money. But once you find your edge doesn't mean your set, you must always keep working on something new and keep learning. Just like a regular business you must keep adapting. The fish who stops swimming gets eaten.

    I do back test, I just take it with a grain of salt, ive become a millionaire many times over when backtesting strategies but they never seem to pan out that way in real life. That why I test out a new strategy for 12-18 months wit a small cash amount before sizing up. I just don't want to...
