I see it the same way. I do not expect my system will fit the market 100% of the time. When it does not I actually expect a 'systemic' drawdown or a sideway equity curve to come. I am being prepared for this anytime I enter the market. But when the market regime matches my system I expect a new...

Funny I have issues getting 50 ticks profit target filled on intraday basis :D:D:D Where is the fucking volatility for $9602?? Even 8 weeks move is about 600 ticks from low to high...

Meditation is great but hard work beats that. I do a lot of self-talk too :D

Oh my gosh just watched this yesterday accidentally .. found on my old laptop desktop that works as a backup machine :-D "Watching Paul trade is sort of like watching a tennis player on speed ..." Jack Schwager

... then you find yourself crazy realizing giving up is never an option ... you know that saying .. when you do something long enough ultimately it always comes off :-D

Starting 8.30 up to 3 trades NQ quite mechanically until 9.15 since NQ is quite tricky to trade sometimes so no need to spent more time there. Slippage also occurs during this time range often. On the other hand outside this time range it works for me too its just slower but other markets are...

I do not quite understand all the prejudices towards certain fin. instruments ... from a discretionary traders point of view it does not really matter whether it is crude, FCOJ, Euro FX (futures) or rough rice ... all the same to me. If I show you 4 charts without price axis I bet one grand that...

Me not but some certainly do

I have never ever used a stop-loss when doing spreads ... I have never ever traded without a stop-loss when daytrading / scalping. You need to think about each part of your trading deeply before actually using it

I tell you IB is fucking crazy with their margin policy. Example CME Milk Class III Nov 20 - Dec 20 intra-delivery spread maintenance margin: 840 USD / Interactive Brokers: 1,333 USD (why not double?) As the initial margin IB requires: 4,566 USD while my other broker goes with CME to 924 USD...

i notice too when tradin last half hour. Seems sometimes also at 355pm but 350 seems more significant. when are MOC executed actually? do not use them and thought it was later

check futures spreads & seasonality... been profitable from day (month actually) #1 but it all comes down to how good you will be at cutting loses and letting winners ride

CL June $6.5 ... are we going negative today?

As for margins it is simple for me ... Split the money, use more brokers, bet as you would have a single account ... the only disadvantage would be absence of the portfolio margin for some but what is the point of the PM when the broker requires 3 times CME margin
