That is more than a 100% gain in 20m. If the guy has reliable signals and different charting systems to cover the unpredictable scenario, he can just bag the trade without much risk.

Not compounding? If you have $1000, you can buy only 3 share of SPY, when you have $100,000, you still buy 3 shares, not 300?

IN other words, lets say, if you have $1000, and it takes 31 steps to reach a million (25% per step and compound every step); and depending on market availability (presume you have the ability and discipline), sometime it takes a day to complete one step, but sometime it takes one week to...

Not daily performance of 200 days of trading, but a total of 40 events (4 week X 10 month). 25% for one week, if counted as one event, meaning that you manage to get 25% for a whole week. Or in the latter model, it is only 10 events (10 month) meaning that gaining 100% per month, no matter how...

Correction: the compounding was calculated by weekly for the above model; if compounding by monthly, it would take 10 months to reach 1 million. Still remarkable. In brief, this kind of performance would need 3 major factors: 1) ability to identify correct trading window and pinpoint proper...

That is an impressive 25% gain in one day. Here is an intriguing scenario: Look at it in this way, if you have a 1K account, and trade in the way you did today, and let say, to gain 25% one week (not one day), just pick a day with strong trend, not trade every day, then after 8 months (compound...

So true.

AMZN is awesome, all time high! Sooner or later, some of the strong players will follow suit. I bought some FAS and ERX about 3 weeks ago (when they were down about 80 to 90%), and now they are up about 75% (FAS) to 100% (ERX) now.

35 points higher off the new floor 2750 now.

The psychological impact of the FED action is huge and that is what matters to the market.

The up trending today is so steady and different from previous markets recently.

Awesome entry! almost 90 point up in a couple hours.

13 years sounds like a long time, however, you only do it part-time since you have a regular job, so in a condensed way it may be just 2-3 year actually (if counting full time like 8-10 hrs); in addition, many people spent 15 or 20 years doing this kind of thing, yet NOT be able to reach your...

This period of super volatile environment is godsend opportunity to re-examine trading strategy and fix, improve and fine tune and to make it worked in completely different dynamic market conditions.

You are doing a fabulous job and maintain the discipline few can ever accomplish; during this volatile time you get better return almost without draw-down, keeping your profit in a very consistent way to regular period, that is not easy and need to put in more attention and strict self discipline.

It is a hard question to whether remain invested or sell when market is going to be down big. My strategy is to reduce the exposure when you sensed the market is going to be down for a while and a big retreat is in play, so you put some into cash; for example, when the SPX500 is down about 25%...

Just follow Mr. Buffet's advice and invest on those strong stocks that you don't even have to look at them for 10 years. The strongest stocks are always bounced back in a much faster rate and reach new high one after another . Like last Friday, these stocks surged more than 10% in a single day...

B1S2 is NOT trading sim. He has been here for years and if he has conviction either in trading or politics he sticks to it, not like other people flip-flop, and you got to respect that! By the way, overall he made good profits, if you go back to read all 15000 posts; if too lazy, then don't...

Several years ago, I recalled a guy made over a million in a single day on days with volatility like these two weeks. When you are well prepared and have the capital, you can play big games. Say, doing 200 lots on ES, half mil or one mil a day is possible in these two weeks. I bet there are...

No teasing you, some people may have even much more ambitious plan only NOT posting a journal here. I think it is achievable, as you are pretty conservative and act prudently, besides, you have traded for 13 years and that is a big factor that contributes to your success.
