And what do YOU think that probability of success is?

Actually range was so tight i just grabbed 2 ticks on two contracts. Equal to a handle or 1/2 handle twice ...or whatever...where is that handle dude to explain it??? With it so dead i ought be scalping 10 contracts for 2 ticks at a wack. But i am busy doing other things so just potatoe chip...

Well grabbed another handle in ES. Am i a cool kid? I bet you trading NQ speedo.

@speedo .. So how many handles you get in the ES TODAY? It is dead as a wooden peg from the medieval age. I have barely scrapped 1 and quarter handles. Or as handle123 wpuld say a buck and a quarter.

ROFLMAO

Well now...you just must have Tiny tiny SL LIKE 1 tick and a huge big PT like 100 points..ROFL. LOSE 50 times in the ES you lose 12.5 points. Win on 51st trade you make 100 points. Figure 5.00 comm rt. Net after comm 4,125.00 ...SO ON PAPER POSSIBLE BUT is it realistic? ROFL.

Brokers have to make a living too. Many are going out of business.

Sorry but I don't think he needs congrats for "going live" and losing close to 2000 in week 1. He needs to face up to the reality of those losses and try to discover why they happened and not just carry on in week 2 the same way...doing the same thing. Bottom line what counts is profits. One...

Stick with one contract. No need to blow thru your account so fast. If the better MOM and THE OTHER BETTER THING you are using works, it will work with one contract. You have alot to learn yet. You don't need all that cash in your account. Max 5000 for 1 contract. If scalping (1 to 3 point) you...

Don't let your girlfriend ANYWHERE near this live account!

If I had drawndowns and losses like that i believe i would grab that system by the nose and give it a big boot to outerspace.

¡Caramba ya estan peleando! Good luck!

TRUE ...as much as I like Reagan the total debt exploded under Reagans Administration and has been climbing climbing climbing..ever since "During Reagan's presidency, the national debt grew from $997 billion to $2.85 trillion. led to the U.S. moving from the world's largest international...

Developing and practicing a method of trading is where Sim can be useful. However, the "process" of learning and practicing a strategy is one part of the picture. Execution is the another part. Execution is where the performance is at. The latter can be done on a Sim but IMO a sim doesn't...

Or doug? He was supposed to start live today. Gonna report back. Both are quiet as a mouse in a mouse trap.

I have a friend in CO who is in the investment business. Manages OTM for a fee. Seems to do pretty well.
