What liquidity ? Its a made up market , ie they are the market makers .

Up

Unrealistic , not with futures trading anyway . Is there a documented proof that someone turned 5K to millions trading futures in just 2 years ? Doubt it big time , it is all either BS stories or dot com bubble/options trading .

The trillion dollar a day ... etc is the Currency exchange volume , banks , institutions , Govs ... etc

Convexx after looking at your equity curve the C2 model is correct your max peak to trough DD is more than 36%

LOL you cant say until recently my DD is just 20% , thats the whole idea of max DD , your worst max DD is always in the future , so your real max DD is now 77% not 20% and it may get worse in the future .

Mate your equity curve looks like mountains and valleys , no one is going to subscribe at the current equity curve and max DD , and i feel most of them are into futures or stocks anyway , make a new one if you are good you will get subs within 6 months .

Yes the MM may adjust the price/spread accordingly , it depends on liquidity and the stock in question ... etc . You cant trade at whatever size you want at whatever price you wish .

I just took a look , max DD 77% , bumpy equity curve , holding time weeks sometimes months lately .

BTW 40K on the Dow is not guaranteed case in point Japan : decades and still didn't take the ATH .

Investing or trading ? big difference , surely traders looking to make a living cant hold and wait ...

In a bull market yes but ....

Its a mixture between both ... Anyway it depends on what you trade and how you trade , arbitrageur or a MT4 forex punter ? It depends .

You cant trade off the 1-5 min chart then put your stop 1000 points away and say my costs is 0.1% , doesnt make sense . Your SL/TP distance doesnt have control over the markets , thats why the ATR . And the costs for the DAX is not 1 point , you have the spread/comm and you have possible...

I don't know how you calculate this , but the 5 min ATR is hardly at 10 , and the 1 min ATR is around 3.5-4 , the costs for DAX including slippage is around 1.5 - 2 = your costs if you are trading the 5 min chart is 20% of the ATR , and 50% of the ATR if you trade the 1 min . "Costs are totally...

If long term is random then rest assured short term is more random . The difference between long and short timeframes is the noise in short term time frames - BTW nothing wrong with short term trading - , and the second thing is the costs/ATR . In short time frames the costs % wise are huge and...

lol If they know how to trade profitably themselves they wont fund traders with money to trade with , and instead they would trade themselves .

First of all there is no such thing as an edge for retail traders . Now nodoji and db and the like are merely bloggers , not traders , i wouldn't call them traders anyway , and a 1 month P&L wont prove anything , 30% plus of fx retail traders are profitable in any Q , being profitable for a...
