Isn't it better to do some statistical research yourself to see, how useful Fibonacci stuff is? :cool: :D

50 contracts no problemo on ES... 1. Those +900% ($400 -> $4,000), is it live or some paper? :D 2. Are you using some MetaTrader broker and their CFDs? I am asking because of margin requirements ;-)...

If someone consider it normal to have total loss, then he is not trader, he is gambler. Trader would make proper steps to never experience total loss. Trading other than institutional? This is one of the best things to do! Why? Because failure rate is extremely high (even institutions have...

What is your performance target in percents per year?

Uff, maybe I am wrong, but after such long time of trading it seems that you have not done your homework (proper statistics) yet... :-/ Hmmm, I am continuing to read this thread and maybe I will write some more of my thoughts later... :-)

Are you talking about outright future contract? If so, what expiration are we talking about? Or are we talking about some spread? Then I will let you exactly know what is typical seasonality ;-)

I do not believe that this type of manual intraday trading of EURUSD is long term stable & profitable... Maybe you should rather spend your time studying cointegration of FX pairs...

Maybe you should buy new computer... or you can try something like this if you have at least one USB 3.0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYUdAWOGJ_Y

I am much more optimistic about guys doing consistently range from 15% to 50% p.a. (stable overperformers of SPY) than about guys claiming to be doing 200-300% p.a., because from my experience those high percentage guys blow up quite often lol :D And even if someone has high performance, it is...

Hell yeah they are. I was on some meeting and considering working with some... Finally I am on my own and I was not willing to work with any. My most brutal experience was with fund managing aprox $50,000,000 where one trader was trying to convince me, that we are in times of VIX backwardation...

Maybe deep ITM LEAPs can be one of the solutions... But based on my test and 7 years of trading options I came to conclusion, that there are better ways to improve margin requirements and risk than using options... So far mixing stock strategies and trying to improve them with option was not...

Lol, yeah, because they are noobs... Thank god there is lot of guys giving money to us so we can make returns higher than SPY :D BTW I do not know any succesful trader who is counting money monthly. Most of guys I know plan their expenses and withdrawals of money once per year. Maybe I am in...

??? As trader we should be able to do math properly. 3% per month is NOT 36% per year. Cumulatively it is 42.576% p.a. With small capital like 100K it is definitely feasible with DDs under 15% - my experience ;-) The reason why top hedge funds are not able to do more % p.a. is because liquidity...

You should do some statistical research and you will see, if it is better to "wait for the prior low to be ..." These types on questions and answers from bunch of people (lot of them do not know how to regularly make money in markets) will not help you.

What is practical reason for this question? Someone can call it gambling, I call it trading, long term trader can call it option investing... Most important thing is if you are making money. Don't care about how to call what you do...

Definitely "master of statistics" - statistical research and data mining is most important thing in trading...

1sec latency? Where exactly in Europe do you live? Quite strange, there must be something wrong with your internet provider. Spreading ideas base on correlation is mistake (at least from my statistical research): 1. You should rather use cointegration - explanation why correlation is very...

I would send you private message, but strangely it is not possible for you. Is it some setting/rule here on ET with enabling/disabling private messaging? EDIT: Oh yeah, ET has such option to enable/disable private messaging...

I wouldnt be so negative about Ernie... I personaly trade statarb and mean reverting strategies only and I havent seen anything better so far... Results are stable even in trending stock markets, because I keep portfolio beta neutral. From my point of view it is better to think about markets...

I will write you private message... Input: For example XLQ plugin is nice and cheap solution. Output: Everything can be charted in Excel as far as I know... What is exact obstacle for you?
