I could turn a 50k demo account into 250-500k in one trading day and did so many times. I thought I knew what I was doing... Not the case. Real money is different than sim. And who said that this option is missing in the poll? The reason I didn't make a poll was because I knew many people...

So I went over all my bank statements and wire transfers since I had time this weekend. Turns out I didn't account for about 1 deposit I made. I calculated it like this: Tuition = All outgoing wires to my broker - My current trading account value I don't trade Forex anymore (no point)...

Up around 33%. From peak to valley it was 110% to -20% I've been trading since June and testing different methods to see which work best.

Biggest things I think that improve performance. It's always the sitting on hands that makes the most money, and I realized since there is no control of the market after you enter a position, I just set my stop and walk away. Yes, I check the quotes when I can, but I trade partially because I...

I did a search and was surprised to see no one has made a thread similar to this this yet... so let's try it. I'd like to see just a list of how much real money you spent/blew/used/learned with before you started to make consistent returns. I think it's appropriate to include a time frame as...

You are long spy options... I don't think the market's going to go up ..

You really think that getting on the right side of market direction has anything to do with smarts? .................. Let me repeat, you will never, ever, ever, ever, never, ever be able to predict the direction of anything 100% of the time. Therefore, risk managment is the most important...

You should look up the word "consolidation," in case you're confused. What's the point of this post?

I am teaching myself programming and I am having flashbacks to when I was teaching myself trading... When I first started opening up the page to the Wall St Journal it was like I was lookin at a bunch of hieroglyphs. 3 years down the road I know so much more than I did then, simply because I...

I build computers but I don't know what you mean by 'quad card.' You mean a single card with 4 GPUs? I don't know if you can manage getting your hands on one of those for 50 bucks... What is this pc meant for... that is what you should base it on. I would recommend nvidia. I have had...

Average daily $ swing in GCL over the past month has been 3.5k, while the indexes - ES,NQ,YM - are all around 1.5k. I really shouldn't be trading 1 contract of GCLH2, but I wanted to try using a partial proxy for trading the ES since GCL seems to trend a lot stronger. After I close this one...

Thank you, one of the most logical posts on this thread. Who the f*k cares what the definition of trend following is. The "trend" is subjective. I can apply the same method to daily/5min time frames and make money following the trend. If I'm in and out in a day yes I'm day trading but I'm...

Your it <> my it . Would you like poo poo with ur doo doo?

I hope u joke. I don't use the traditional cacluations for these either... I look at totals... not just 1 exchange. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3358950&highlight=ignore+futures#post3358950

Wrong, it's 99% perspiration 1% inspiration idiot stop posting doo doo

What is your total account size... This type of bet means roughly 2m??? Or u a gunslinger like me :cool:

I realized for my style [and I think most styles of trading], posting results of short time frames is really pointless, as in order for a method to be worth pursuing, you must be able to sustain it long term. Also, it's rare to 'get rich quick' in this game I think (quick & rich are both...

Adapt 2 systems, one to handle the consolidation and one to handle the trending. The market is always evolving, so you must adapt. I prefer trend following as it's simple. But still this game is 99% risk managment. If you employ stops logically out of the daily noise for trend following you'll...
