    Why do "profitable" traders take the time to train people remotely and for a fee?

    Monty, does Baron approve of you torching one of his sponsors? Worst case, I guess, is he fires you from your volunteer job.

    Psychology, are you sure?

    Alex, for the most part, the traders here do not have a method with a positive expectancy. As a result, they are frustrated and have their heads twisted because of their losing ways. This opens the door for people who coach and write books about psychology and trading to ease the pain of the...

    trading systems vendor?

    IMHO, here's a prime example of what TZ is talking about. This system employs a 15 point stop and actually will hold overnight with no stops in place. The equity curve aint bad, but if you calculate standard performance metrics, which these folks don't, you wouldn't be overly impressed...

    trading systems vendor?

    I don't think they are expensive. If you gave your money to a hedge fund manager, he would take a 2% management fee and 20% of the profits. However, as a rule of thumb, don't pay more than 10% of the monthly profits after commission for a system on Collective2.

    I like CL, ZB and FDAX. Except for a handful of very skilled traders, ES is a sucker's bet.

    trading systems vendor?

    Collective2 is a good place to shop for a system. They give you the stats and allow others to critique the systems, no holds barred.

    Entry into an ES trades almost always cause a one tick loss

    An old professional ES trader who is now retired once told me that if I get a fill at my entry limit, the price will surely move against me and a stop won't be far behind. Sadly, he was correct. YM and NQ are a mirage if you think there is no slippage, because there most certainly is. The...

    Professional emini trader mentor wanted!!

    OP, seriously, the ES is arguably the one of the most difficult instruments to trade. The professionals thrive off the amateurs taking every cent they have. You might be better served cutting your teeth on something that trends more and oscilates less; a thinner market albeit one that is...

    Need advice

    I have a very successful system for many futures markets (Dax, Euro, Oil, Bonds, Bund). The system employs a 1:1 RR on 20 ticks. I have been trading this one contract. However, many of the trades have long runs and I am interested in learning a few trade management methods that would take...
