Wouldn't AAPL at $200 make it a trillion dollar company?

I don't care about the W/L %. I want to know the R:R. I'd rather be 25% successful with a 1:4 R:R than 75% successful trading 1:1 R:R. Already being profitable at 25% gives you huge upside. You can improve to 40-60% and become a very successful trader. Already trading 75%, there's little...

I didn't stay with them long. I began trading for TowerHillTrading and have had a much better experience. The $100 wire fee is a lot, but it's not the most expensive I've seen. If you can't manage to make more than to cover account fees, you shouldn't even be considering a prop firm to begin...

I spend 3-4 days of the week trading at the public library, or at my college's library. I use a VPN when connected to anything on public networks. I use Private Internet Access. It's only $40/year.

I trade for a firm so my winnings are earned income. I did however move from Virginia to Texas so I could save on state income taxes. Real estate taxes here are some of the most expensive in the country, but luckily I rent. If I earning an income that was solely capital gains, I would just...

This is why I don't come on here anymore. It's full of retards like OP.

I created a couple indicators. They aren't any proprietary, just a Vix and $TICK index. The Vix has a bollinger band with a standard deviation of 2. The $TICK is just a high, low, and close histogram with 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 levels marked. I can find buy or sell levels using the Vix...

I've heard of them. I applied for them once but never sent a deposit. I went with Suretrader instead.

CLR is clearing, as arna said. Its the commission the broker/firm you trade for charges. I pay $0.0035/share. $1/trade is pretty expensive for a prop firm. SEC is the Security and Exchange Commission. It's $22.10/$1MM traded. If you want to know why they charge fees, read the Section 31 of the...

I trade for this firm. I can explain how it goes. When you sign up, there is a 1 week training course. It's pretty basic. They tell you about basic bid/ask, order entry, etc. They teach you how the platform (Takion) works. And they give you a basic idea about imbalances. Then you begin trading...

I wouldn't trade 10 contracts unless I had at least $500K in capital. It could easily wipe you out. The max I trade is 2.

No trading method will be successful without a solid risk management foundation. I learned this when I started. I now use a 3/3 rule. Meaning I trade until I receive 3 winning trades or 3 losing trades for the day. I use a 1:3 risk:reward ratio. This gave me greater chances of ending the day...

Average holding time per instrument traded. /zb three minutes twenty five seconds /cl thirty two seconds /es one minute eleven seconds

During the week, I'm pretty much home with my dog trading unless I need to run needed errands. On the weekend however, I try to get out all day if possible. Go the park, out to eat with friends or family, shopping, etc. I don't know if you'd call that socializing. I do not network very often.

You mean a trailing stop?

I was using stops and limits at 09. As a previous poster said, the order doesn't get filled until at least 1 tick above/below. I did it for 3 days and made $1,335. I would love to automate it but I have no idea how to get into all of that. There are times when the order is triggered but never...

The highest earning was Investment Capital Advisors LLC http://www.icatrading.com/ Contact them and ask them? They have a 25% performance fee but I don't know how much of that goes towards the trader.

Because you can make $2K a month trading 1-2 contracts per trade. It'd take substantially more contracts and trades to make $100K. Yearly, CTAs managing <$10M earned 25.68-104.74%. CTAs managing >$10M earned 29.92-50.45%.
