    If this was futures trading, does it look like I have a (+) expectancy?

    Luck vs Trading

    Myself and others had a discussion about traders, both new and old, confusing nice equity curves as real trading when it is just luck. A hundred descretionary trades can easily be luck- imo. Especially when draw downs between trades. Old trades who have lost their skill or edge can also...

    short short etf + short long etf

    I do not want to be rude but oldtime is a poor trader and a failed trader. Why is anybody listening to him? I have him on my ignore list, but he keeps reappearing in quotes. I read he was complaining about trading forex because it "brings back bad memories from his divorce". Seriously dude...

    short short etf + short long etf

    ETF’s and ETN’s are excellent arbitrage opportunities. Yes, to the OP, it is a cash cow. However it requires allot of margin, and there are other similar opportunities in ETN’s and ETF’s that make more money without using as high margin. :)

    Building a live account 3 - $10,000 to more than $10,000,000 in 30 years

    $ 10,000,000 is too low. You should be aiming for that in a couple of years- if you are serious about trading. Pragmatically, you can make $ 10 million in 5 years if you are an average trader. This isn't the plumbing enterprise. Some "traders" talk about trading their 2 ES lots with a pretty...

    Patak, math and opportunity....

    I would like to signal out that you will not be trading a $30 k, $50 k or what ever account. If you begin to lose more than you earned, the plug will be yanked on you. This is clearly stated on that website. You are trading a $1 k to $15 k account at the most. I would also add that...
