just have to let it fly. the winners. average range these days are atleast 5 points. but keeping a check on emotions while trading lots with 10 contracts a bit difficult. not there yet.

margin $500 x 10 = $5000 2 points x 10 = $1000 $1000 x7 days = $7000. 2 points plus a day is doable atleast in es. gambler = cant do it consecutively. Trader = with proper risk management and entry exit doable.

yes that is what i am talking about, you can make large amounts and also have consistent good days and then lose all that and more, so in the end it feels like gambling. If you work at a job you know that you will get paid and thats what most of my friends do, the pay is not much to brag about...

yes its very hard to meet real traders, cos i am dying to meet someone who trades for real and is consistent in his trades. At the least i can compare my methods and weaknesses and learn. Most of all i will get the conviction that i am a trader and not a gambler. There are situations where...

me too i am interested.

whats the zip code? i am in queens and looking for co traders, since trading from home has me turned into a dull trader.

in a few years with bit coin you can buy bits of food.
