Sure they can.:D Its called 'buying around the bottom of an upmove or selling around the top of a downmove'. :)

Those that need so much help are beyond help. And this is certainly not a business for leaning on others. The trouble is that noobs and previous failures say they are asking for advice when what they only want is new encouragement in their failed 'limp dick' quest or in their unrealistic...

The thread is about compounding and admittedly the title uses a really astronomic number for a bit of fun. But compounding is very important to a highly productive and controlled trading strategy. :)

Adding to my brief prescription, draw up a 'big picture' plan to outline the specific parts of your mission. Use it as your motivation to drive towards attainment of each goal, in turn, in that plan. :)

Focuss on one market ONLY. You must get know to everything about that market's price behavior to an expert degree. Only when prepared and once professional, play in it as a daily winner. An accurate methodology for one market will be transferable to other markets. This is where you can move...

OK, say, 3 trade execution outcomes: win wash & lose. Let those outcomes be considered for day trading (eg YM). If you produce an accurate methodology, then validate it with infinitesimal checking and then actual test trading. Next, play. And play the whole trading day menu. Concentrate...

Enormous sums are taken from markets as there are gigantic money flows moving between various categories of player. Now to the question. The first limitation is market liquidity daily in futures markets. The next limitation is the number of markets available. Then there is compounding...

Forget it. Ain't gunna happen .. .. and with a bad mindf**k, you being ill 'n' all .. know what I mean. :)

Perhaps I should add that the above example is for e-minis (eg YM). So a maximum position of .02% for a trading capital of $2500 is a $5 bet or stake (ie $100,000 capital=max stake of $200). Also, obviously, your betting stake rises as you capital increases from net market gains. That is not a...

Simplistically, set a maximum position aligned to those precautions which ensure that any unexpected loss cannot damage your intended program of capital accumulation (ie continuously adding net profit or net gain). First the background assumption is an accurate methodology. Consider an...

Is the point beyond you, Stephanie? Sweet. :)

There appears to be a huge tribe and mindset immersed in s/r which is just a diversion. This is excellent. That leaves nothing much to get in the way of the very few seriously taking money out of the market professionally. :)

And of course great popularity can attend any proposition (eg EW) that is a theory to explain everything or almost everything (in this case, EW is everything to do with explaining market price behavior short term and historically). There is just the small matter that EW theory does not have...

Before slinging sh*t against just one member, just think who are the ET members who deploy or who have deployed once or previously an alternative alias or additional aliases. Huh? :)

Excuse me, if an employer is buying your services (eg by paid salary) they have bought and are entitled to the work you do for them, whether or not you regard it as 'intellectual property'. :)

Pose. :)

If you began a career in programming .. then that is what it is. Stay with it and forget entirely about trading and markets. You wouldn't be suitable. :)

Anyone else think Elliot Wave is a bunch of hooey? Yes. But there still seems to be an entire industry of EW gurus & hoodoo believers in EW. :)

If the given list of profits are not real, proven or actual trades, what are they and why were they put up as if real? :)

..which is why you call yourself 'ExtrAhEAvydUty'. :D
