That's the funniest thing that i've heard in a while...ET is the best place for laughs from dimwits.

Given enough time, 'almost' anyone can be a consistently successful trader. I am proof of that. In it's simplest terms, an EDGE and DILIGENCE is all you need. Fortunately for me, 90%+ will GIVE UP when the going gets tough.

You can't trade out of fear. What about surprise fed announcements? You'll never be able to trade well if you're always worrying instead of calm. If the above had happened and wiped out your account, you know what you do?.......walk yourself into the nearest attorney's office and file for...

You are seriously underestimating how difficult it is to make a living based solely from trading. I too thought that I would just jump into trading and start making $1,000 per day, and I thought that I was being conservative by giving myself at least one year before I started turning a profit...

The one thing you're missing is.....wait for it.....an EDGE. Two days of back-testing does not make an edge...and if it was backtesting more than likely your results are curve-fitted, which means they will fall apart in real-time trading. In addition, the fact that you've been on these...

...and Jim Cramer called Nails one of the smartest investors he know on Real Sports with Bryant Gumble a while back.....lol

NO, it doesn't exist. ALL, of the so-called gurus and trading educators are fraudsters. Take it from someone who has spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on snake-oil salesmen....only to learn how to properly trade from watching simple price action for years. To become a professional...

I'm a little confused. If you have an edge that works, why share it here on ET?!?!? Trading is a zero-sum game. You should be out to take money from other traders instead of sharing your edge. Unless, it doesn't work :D

As an experienced futures trader, my single best advice I can give you is: Trade on a simulator for at least 2 months with your strategy before you go live with real cash or donate the $6K to charity, for the market will surely take it.

An internet forum is not the appropriate place to have your question answered Port. You need to speak to a good Asset Protection lawyer. But don't wait until you get sued....you ever heard of fraudulent conveyance?

Ouch :D You go girl.

I must admit that I don't understand why people trade FOREX when they can simply trade the FUTURES. I experimented with forex, and came to realize that my cost ended up being about $60 per trade compared to $4.25 for futures because of the simple fact that you have to pay the spread to BOTH...

This is the first warning sign that your system is most likely "fools gold". Do not trade it with your last 10k.

I can tell that you ARE a "keeper" :)

Is that Paul from Vcapfutures? Are you the same Paul that used to moderate in Woodies CCI room a few years ago?

Dude, you have NO EDGE. Plain and Simple. World Class traders have World Class Edges. Don't let anyone tell you differently. If you don't want to trade counter-trend, then don't. 90%+ of the people ultimately end up losing at trading, so forget about trying to follow everyone else...

Ninjatrader is one of the best software packages I have used. Plus, if you have a futures account, the data is free. Fuck, forking over dollars for platform fees plus data fees on eshit.

I have a question...why would you pay this man for an optimized, curve-fitted system?!?!?:confused: Curve-fitting never works because the markets are always changing. If clayburg had a "real edge", I'll guarantee you that he wouldn't be selling it retail. He would either trade it himself...
