Demo is pretty accurate if you're following a specific pattern or strategy (assuming your position sizing won't affect the market, ie. trying a system which requires to trade 50 lots of futures or 5000 shares of expensive stock).

Tesla is most likely the gas killer. Like electricity killed kerosene gas/liquid lamps, electric cars will be the future moving forward. Tesla is probably a highly overvalued stock, but undoubtedly the best overvalued stock out there.

Haven't read all the pages on this topic, but my 2 cents which includes trading professionally and at times playing poker (professionally) for a living is that if you had to take 2 newbies and teach them either to trade stocks/futures or play poker profitably you would have more success with a...

I think you're wrong, it's worth at the ex dividend date might be $98, but it's long term value is still $100 per share or more and within the next time period of the dividend date it will be at $100 or higher barring any other information.

Technically it does if you research the average dividend recapture days of each individual stocks you want to buy. To save you a bit of search time, the shortest recapture days are usually in 4th quarter.

Almost any broker will easily grant you the right to write options on stock you own. Naked call options are tough to get granted, but rightfully so - it is inadvisable for anyone but very experienced traders. However, writing Put options is something most novice traders should start with...

The math hurts, I spent $1600 in May on all the trading fees (commission isn't much at AMP but everything else adds up quickly when you trade a lot). When casinos open up again I might be better off playing the swings of craps (don't most of the time and switch to the pass line when things...

Hey sstheo, Wishing you the best going forward, however I'm also in the camp of continue trading as it's liquid income immediately without conditions. I'm certain if you take up my offer and trade along with me I can get you to increase your size.

I’m sure there are some huge whales here who trade amounts we could only dream of (read here recently about a guy who position as high as 400 ES contracts at once, just wow.). Originally my response was on topic of what I thought was how to make $100k in a month - which is doable. I simply...

LoL, I've stop arguing with people years ago because I realized the dumb ones don't neccessarily realize how dumb they are. Perhaps, you should read my comments reallllll slow. I replied that my trading fees/commission of $250 is probably more than 75% of ET traders make per day. To help you...

Sorry, that’s how it came out. Explained it 3 posts below, unless you’re expecting a detailed analysis of all 67 contracts. I’m sure I stand in top 1% of ET with such daily gains. Heck, I’m sure my trading fees of approx $250 per day is more than 75% of ET traders’ profit (but this is just a...

So if I pay $249/ month I can trade ES and NQ as much as i want without any more fees? I spent almost $300 in fees just on my last trading day.

Holy shit!!!! I think there is a twin (of me) out there in this world.

It shows the trade summary of the day. P & S = Purchase and sale summary. then shows how much contracts you traded of each (bought and sold), Instrument (ENQ is Nasdaq, EP is S&P), then the most important line: Your profitability for the day. PS, my trading fees alone require me to make $250+...

Damn, you just described my trading techniques also, but have not started with $35K and haven't 6x in 4 weeks either (but maybe it will happen in the next 4 weeks).

Or you can simply learn how to trade and do it slowly but surely. Just remember, for every dollar you lose someone needs to make it.

We all made our predictions before the market opened on Sunday evening. You wait until the market is up $2+ before you give your vision on sunday night?????

I do my investment trading with a Bank because time isn't of the essence. However, now that I have more time I use my AMP account and trade the index flawlessly. With one click trade activation I see trades filled in milliseconds exactly where the ask/bid was.

You have the wrong set of friends!!
