Things are different once real money is involved, so I was just make sure losing your account is acceptable before doing it with real money. Also, just because something worked, doesn't mean it will work.

I made 44 ticks, in 1 trade, with 1 contract. I took a long nap while my trade was running, and only risked 20 ticks. I felt zero stress while my trade was running. What about you?

I know a lot of brokers have 500 day trade rates. That's not the reason I called you out as a fake. But there is no way, anyone, is trading 3 contracts with a 2k account and not continually blowing themselves up.

I agree, the crypto currency only holds value as long as people assume it has value. Once that feeling changes, you're left with nothing. The same can be said for today's fiat currencies like the US dollar, but the dollar does have the backing of things like the US military, so I feel it's a...

It's so bad now, that I've actually started going back to Yahoo, which I had nearly forgotten even existed.

Ah... a 2K account. You're slinging 3 ES contracts at a time, with a 2K account. You are a fake. How many more months before you start a signal service or mentorship program?

I really am trying not to be rude, but again, not asking how you decide on a trade, just the mechanics of your trade. Again, you made another lengthy post, and still I do not know. This tells me you might not really know. For example, one could say, I use a 4 tick stop and a 1 tick target...

This is my problem with this thread. I've given good effort just understand entry, target, stop, and I still don't know. I would love 2 sentences, that clearly explain, entry, target, and stop. Just the mechanics.

2008 10k investment in SDS = 348 in 2018. If the market returned to 2008 levels the investment would be at around = 1, 700. Wow, that's a big difference between 10,000 and 1, 700. What happened? What magic took place here? How could this be? I'll tell you the secret, wait for it, the...

Yes, in a market that is generally one direction, the ultra ETFs will survive. Once the market turns choppy, they will deteriorate much much more quickly. Again, look at SDS. The market could trade well below where initial entry was made 10 years ago, and one wouldn't even be close to...

Just look up SDS. When even a 2x leveraged ETF, only ends at zero. A 3x would do so even quicker. I really don't know how to spell this out to you all more clearly.

First of all, 2x aren't as dramatic as 3x. Secondly, in a long move in a steady direction, the funds will perform close to what you expect. In volatile up and down markets they get slaughtered. Look at SDS instead of SSO. With a 10K investment in 08, it would now be worth less then 400...

Are you back testing with actual price data? Charting software will smooth out the price, so you're not automat You can't do reverse splits to infinity if you are a company. The real value is actually much, much lower than the actual stock price, which is can work with a 3x ETF but not with a...

Let's see, if it goes to one dollar and you do a 10 for 1 reverse split, the price then goes to 10 dollars. If it goes back to one dollar, and you do a 10 for 1 reverse splits, then price goes to 10 dollars, and on, and on, and on..... I don't think I'm the one who failed math class here...

Reverse splits, and then charts smooth out things like reverse splits, splits, etc... so that the charts look right for TA. This is one reason that non pro traders fall into the trap of doubling down on ultra ETFs. It's a horrible rookie mistake. The Ultra ETFs are meant for day trading, not...

But the government already has incentive programs, and it already gets a cut, it gets the cream of the crop, it gets a cut from the profits earned.

Huge volume spikes are always worth looking in to, but there is more than one reason as why a huge volume spike would occur. But I agree, it's definitely worth looking in to. After a continued sell off, for example, a huge volume spike will often signal a bottom. One big down day with huge...

But the government makes nothing, it produces nothing. If we were communist and didn't have a private sector, then the government could make things and sell things, however, it would fail as government enterprises always do. When soy bean farmers sell soy beans to China, and make a profit, the...

Yeah, this makes no sense. Besides, when America trades, it loses massively. There's nothing wrong at all with truly free trade, but that's not what we have today. We have horrible trade deals that usurp the authority of Congress over trade, and pass it on to foreign governments that win big...

I had my days mixed up too, this was just the minutes. I think the only news shaking things right now is Cohen and Manafort.
