Just one correction, there were no real time trades posted and hence it wasn't really a "call". I'm hardly picking on propwarrior because I do admit to be impressed so far with what he posted, and I have read many of his posts here since he signed up and they are good, but these weren't trade...

Honestly, this is just a matter of how the trader plans to trade. If a trader is day trading, and lets say uses 3 point stops, this would be a $150 stop per trade. On a 10k account, with lets say day trading margin at 1k, this would be he has 9k to lose before he can't trade. If he sticks to...

Well I'd like to put in my 2 cents as this "discussion" goes back and forth. Both of these guys sound smart, but what do we really know about either of them? Both of them just signed up in the past few months, and yet they are here pretending to be the world's hottest trader. Its actually...

Oppps... you're absolutely right. And I have to apologize that here, its my mistake. I got my time zones mixed up as my ET is set for a different time zone than my charts. When I saw your post later yesterday, I forgot to do the calculation in my head and thought you posted this shortly after...

He may not be outright selling, but he gets into discussions constantly about trading, trading edge, saying how trade management is the only edge, etc. So when someone says something, you would like to see them apply this. With this guy's trades, well, the ones he follows up on, his "risk" is...

I can't believe I am even wasting my time posting, but whatever happened to this trade? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/es-journal-2016.296717/page-215#post-4352830 You were supposed to be long from 2118.50 which would have filled pretty much right at 10am, just over an hour after you...

Yes, I fully agree. And like I said before, its actually nice to have someone be a bit more specific with levels and such, rather than just the random predictions that we usually see here. I do hope you continue to update this thread.

I think any smart trader would realize that following someone blindly isn't smart unless they have a long posting history with previous calls that can be analyzed and hence understand how to go about trading the calls that are made. I'm not saying all this to discredit you or be mean, just...

I interpret this as "We will try not to steal from you, but if we do, you agree that we can."

In response to all this, I will say that I have seen a very small number of profitable traders, and what they show is continued taking of trades, with lots of losses along the way. In the end, the average win is bigger than the average loss, and this is what makes them profitable. So my sample...

So many issues here. First of all, the OP is saying that if he takes every trade according to his plan, its a winning trade, no matter the outcome. What is so hard about this? I followed up with the question of how many trades put money in his account, and he said about 1/3. So think about...

As much as I love a conspiracy theory, I'm not so sure that @Baron is working secretly for the government/NSA/CIA/FBI/Clinton/Trump/etc. Maybe if he doesn't respond you're onto something! LOL I hardly doubt ET is home to the famed PPT that buys up every dip in order to keep the market afloat.

Great. So now can we discuss how you played it.. or rather.. would play it? If you were looking for the market to turn at 42, but it didn't quite get there, I'm sure you would allow for a bit of buffer zone... correct? So taking the short anywhere up there would have been a very good trade...

Technically, you said this yesterday just as we reached the high of 2140. I suppose that if we entered short around that time, we could have gotten in a few points below the 2142, so I can give you that. But I'm not sure if you can say that you nailed today's high since there was no post about...

Ah, ok. I haven't even looked at options which would be months out so I wasn't really sure about the pricing of those. But based on the chart he showed, the expiry dates looked to be Oct 21 and 26, and clearly those were under $2, so I figured this could apply for the entire set of stats...

Yes, I do think this is important. More than a year would certainly be nice as the 80 trades or so isn't a huge sample size. But to be honest, I would be incredibly impressed to see most trades using up 70% of the account and still survive after 10 trades. I do wonder though what happened to...

Hi Handle... thanks for your post. You're absolutely right that it all depends on how you define things. I'm going with what he initially said about how he gets the direction right almost all the time. This to me means that he isn't scalping, and it also means that he isn't getting out for +1...

Thanks for the explanation. But I am still puzzled. You show a few trades that have netted you some nice profits, but its as if to say you are all in for these trades. If the 70% gain on this one trade is only 1% of your account, then how does this add up to doubling your money in a short...

I don't know enough, or anything really, about selling options premium, so I just cannot comment well enough. But I have been following the thread in the journal section by Sweet Bobby and what I have learned is that doing something like this is very much underestimating the risk that will hit...

No offense, but comments like this on ET are always highly suspect. If you rarely have any losses, you're better than most highly paid money managers. So perhaps you'd like to quantify this is bit. What is rarely for you? Is it over a 90% win rate? What are you trading, and what do you...
