Yes, there are many options to consider and I'm not willing to risk considerable amounts of money until I have a better idea of what would work long-term. I don't NEED to do this. But it would nice if something will work.

I think I'd rather backtest a few first. This would first require the time to do that. But I also plan to not let a strategy run 24/5, I'd probably do different things during overnight hours, and different things around the news releases.

And what's your strategy? What's your results? (And what's the point of asking questions that can't be verified?)

Proof of what concept? I'm telling you strategies will adapt and that any strategy now is extremely haphazard. Now in relation to the original post, whether or not "swinging for the fences" on news release days can be a realistic strategy remains to be seen.... However one thing is for certain...

I've already failed in trading from 2019-2022. Only started having success in August 2022 until the present.

I bet I'll do it again on Thursday with the CPI.

The news always sets the tone for the rest of the day. Also remember you don't have to be right 100% of the time to make a profit. Technically, you only need 51% (minus fees).

Either way, I'm going to start getting some real "skin in the game" soon but not with 100 contracts, I'll put in 3 and just do a simple strategy. It will be boring and basic and I'll even outline it here. Having real money in the market and at risk will motivate me to improve strategy quickly...

If I were to pick one flaw with my trading psychology at the moment... It's that I would never be satisfied. Let's say I "shot for the moon" and was successful/lucky once and made a quick $80,000 in 3 seconds... That's more than an average salary in the USA in 3 seconds, but I wouldn't be...

I tried my hardest to ignore you until you just wouldn't shut up. You think you have authority *laugh emoji *laugh emoji *laugh emoji

Then how did I do it reliably on Schwab?

Thanks. And I've already failed many times with real money between 2019-2022 before I decided to stick to ES only. Most times after failing, I swore off trading "for good" only to come back to it after a few months.

Does TradeStation offer the same leverage as NinjaTrader in day trading?

Because it's not enjoyable anymore. Managing multiple construction projects at once is a constant pain in the a$$.

That's what I'm figuring out.

Yea but I probably would have quit after all the panic chasing. Funny that I actually already learned that lesson (not to chase up and down) on Schwab back when I did only 3 contracts. But I forgot it and got rusty.

Ok, yes I knew what drawdown was. Just didn't know the "DD" acronym.

What's DD?

I tried my best to ignore you. You obviously have nothing to contribute and I would guess have never had any real success in anything, except maybe video games.

Do you live with your parents? Be honest.
