If you want realistic expectations you should put "-" before each dollar amount. Honestly you should do some searches on leverage and trader income, because your questions are so vague they can't be answered with a simple yes/no response.

Hey neke, logic tells me that if you're giving up losses in your option trading that the wise thing to do would be to stop trading options? Other than that, this journal is quite interesting...and yes, i have read a few times that a correction usually occurs after a string of winners. I...

hehehehe

There's only a handful of bright traders that bother posting on elite trader at all, most just don't seem the point.... Posting trader's P&L w/o their permission...LOL, i think Don has a little more common sense than that...what do you think he's gonna do? Send out mass emails through the...

Go with what this guy said...with the advice of the post below it. You can get good refurbished comps from BB/CC for well under a grand (especially if it's on sale), which will be more than powerful enough. You can probably get by with just one monitor but if you want another go for a cheap...

Hey Jack, did you write Alan Farley's The Master Swing Trader?

I won't be responding to this anymore...i only converse with actual traders.

Don't worry about that douchebag...he has 4000 worthless posts and is ignored by most of the ET community.

What? I don't use techicals at all...i use a number of probability sets for determining entries/exits...standard deviations, stuff like that....anyways i don't know what you mean exactly when you say it's not a winning strategy. I would say that if one person can make money consistenty, then...

Has it occurred to you that maybe this trader just couldn't cut it and probably isn't suited for trading? How was his/her performance trading other styles? And believe it or not there are some that start with very small accounts and gradually build it up through consistency and hard work...

Esignal's a great charting package, a lot of traders I know use it for pairs.

You make some very good points, i'm glad you've contributed to this thread. Even with 1400 pairs in the pairco database, i've researched a couple on my own that i'm interested in trading that i've recently asked to have added...i hate to sound like a broken record, but if you want to...

Hahaha slight difference....just because succesfully trading pairs is beyond your level of comprehension, don't bring your hating game into this thread.

There is definitely a lot of potential in trading pairs intraday, I would even say more potential that trading a longer time-frame. And there are a wide variety of strategies one can form a methodology around. The key is, as others mentioned, there is considerable amount of homework that needs...

Is that a stock trading firm? I don't think the OP made the distinction.

haha i've got agu paired against another fertilizer and trade the differential....it may well be my best pair :D

There are a number of retail firms that will take accounts less than 5k, but what are your expectations for such a low amount?

You haven't added a single worthwhile contribution to this thread....why don't you go post in chit chat instead of ruining a meaningful discussion.

Wow piling shares into that trade was something, I hope you had a strong basis for executing those trades and weren't flying by the seat of your pants...question, are your withdrawals necessary for living expenses, ect? Keep up the journal, this is very fascinating.

So 27 students out of 250 were profitable? Good to see one from my alma mater @ #19.
