Hmm.. I smell an undercaptilized trader... lol

The whole problem with the hedgies is multifold. First many hedgies are down 3 months in a row.. which will spark widespread redemptions forcing liquidations.. most likely coming from equity because thats usually the easiest to liquidate and many funds are still sitting on huge winners from the...

I dont want to take away from your success at growing your account.. and it seems that u are having success with your stock selection, entries and exits... I just think that since you are doing this full time and might be your only source of income... one or two bad trades.. will wipe out...

I had one trade a few years ago.. that was 50% of my account on a short.. and stock got acquired next day for 40% premium. Overnight 20% drawdown... if you can stomach something like that then so be it. It will happen just a matter of time. The key to trading is making consistent gains...

stopped out of joe for a small loss... in cash

I am not an expert futures or day trader by any means. I have been swing trading for a very long time. I used to heavilty swing trade the IWM in one of my accounts but stopped because it losts its smoothness as it became more liquid. Its easy to to go back and look at every post I have made...
