oooohhhh, sit down and shut up, are you 4 years od?

ok, lets see it

see, as much as you ridicule me and say my comments are irrrelevant, you just can't stop yourself. No discipline.

now go back to sneaking peeks at delayed futures quotes on Yahoo before your boss catches you.

sure, whatever makes you feel good. Like I said, i expect ridicule from the pikers. The more ridicule, the bigger the piker. Blind, part-time swingers like you make the markets go 'round. I can remember Refco back in the 80's and 90's bombarding the CME pits with one lots from guys like you...

you're killing me JackJones

whatever, thats not really what we're discussing here.

go ahead, slam me for trying to dash your dreams :)

and he did it full time, his job was to learn to be a speculator. A third advantage over the average 5K piker today

Richard Dennis started on the Mid-Am, in the 1970/80s. Two huge advantages. Adjust his 2K for inflation and its more than 5K today.

we strayed so far off course, he/she probably lost interest

don't confuse arrogance with a realistic view. I did not mean the posts above as a personal attack on you, just a realistic view. I know it doesn't jibe with the majority of posters on this board, I understand that. You're mixed up though, a hedge fund operates much more easily in the FX...

thank you, that is what i was looking for. :D

i'll go back to my original point, 5K accounts are canon fodder

trading a 5K is a hobby, making 12% on a 5K account is a hobby, thats not success as most people would judge it.

try to trade 1 billion like you trade 5K, dummy. Thats the difference. You could make 500% on 5K and flounder on a million dollar account. Thats why griding out 12% a year on 5K is a joke and zero indication of your ability to make a reasonable return.

yeah, it does. Not to make this a personal attack but that does not count as a success. That is muddling along, if you had confidence, you would be putting more capital behind it, trading larger. Good luck to you though, the first step is not losing money.

well, no offense JackJones, but that is not a success.

yeah, turn over a billion, sure, how much do they take home.

Repeat after me, IB is the best we can expect, we don't deserve any better, their customer service is second to none, everybody else is worse, repeat, repeat, repeat.
