textbook day for CL yesterday :D

or put up a post in the prop firms section, I have heard that 10 firms will send offers to your inbox within a day :D

FDAX in the morning. Also USD/JPY in the evenings. And The Korean Stock exchange indice.

have you blown out your account trying to short twitter? Don't worry, hang in there...:D

Thanks for the info on Hold. I'm still planning on taking the S56 over summer break sometime and I had considered HOLD as a possible firm. I will probably just go with one of the WTS groups. I sent a email to Remotedaytrader.com which through Hold, they sent me back those same...

^^^ finally get a voice of reason here. Those that trade a 500k account can think in 25 -40% returns per year. But how many people on ET trade an account like that? Most of ET doesnt even have 25k to daytrade a retail account. if you are trading a 10-20k account with 20:1 leverage, I...

Really Odd.... Just shaking my head. One of my tenants was a foreign student at a university in town. He had to cancel his lease with me because when he showed up his visa from his last school seemed to be invalid because his last school never signed his I-20 or something like that...

peoples bullshit meter seems to jiggle whenever somebody returns a profit. If someone had a 10k bank and set each trade to risk 2% of his account, that would be $200 each trade. Some people make it seem like its impossible to net 4Rs a week, which would equal 3k a month, or 30%. I have...

Well if the FED would have left it alone and let all of the big banks fail in 2008, yes there would have been severe pain. But by now, I have to believe, that we would be getting back to normal. Instead the FED just kicked the can down the road a few year, all the while helping out the chosen...

How do you know its just about you? Perhaps they just took a couple weeks to decide if it was worth it to change their policy...you know it has been christmas break/vacations or whatever. It seems that even if you are questioning staying at your job because it pays nothing compared to...

IF it was said on ET....it must be true :D

are you from India?

now the line in the sand is 10m a year in profits, anything less and you should close your trading account.

people here are supposed to be prop traders, NOT grandpas measuring their portfolio annual yield. whether they show up at a london office, or sitting in ur basement in Dover. show up with a 10k deposit and scalp 200k shares a day and leave with 500 to 2k and not have a clue of what your...

we go from discussing whether or not a 150k account can return 20%, to tripling a 10k futures account with your net worth 1mm, all the way up to a 50mm hedgefund accounts to scalping burgers at burger kings. Just all over the map today!

Rentals dont make 25%...I am saying that if you cannot trade, u have no choice but to put your money in a 6-10% situation. I should not have said flipping rentals, that basically the same thing as trading stocks. And the point of the whole argument which you decided to attack me on was...

Thats why u use only 10k of your 150k, you blow it out, thats the way it is. Maybe if you cant make money you shouldnt be trading anyway, you can always go flip rental properties.

I guess if you wanted to attack my logic perhaps you should leave the numbers the same...not just change the 150k to 1 million, and leave the 10k trading account. why do I even bother replying...:confused:

I'm commenting on the people that consider making 15% a year trading as heroic trading effort. Some people are saying that making 20% is top Hedge Fund type returns. I personally feel its quite realistic to 30%-40% a month on a 150k trading base. But for those people that insist that u need...
