Yeah! Using a momentum strategy on days when the market is rallying. AAHHAHH... do you think I can make it big time Des? Should I leave my multi-million dollar construction business that I built to trade all day or just buy a decent mutual fund and golf instead? Decisions, decisions.

Yeah, ok. But besides saying you buy momentum you haven't stated any strategy. Let's face it a naive momentum strategy isn't especially sophisticated. And so... the conversation degrades into he said she said is an idiot. I think you should consider coming back when you have something useful or...

Yeah, I don't day trade nor do I think it's a good idea... so we're talking past each other for sure.

You mean w.r.t. the poll? It's informal obviously but my curiosity is roughly... would you rather buy on open tomorrow and sell on close this Friday, or the exact opposite? Something along those lines. It's hard to write up in just a few lines but what I'm hoping to avoid are the inevitable...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No, with all due respect, I'm not happy with this. I ask if you'd rather make or lose $36/mo and instead of saying the most simple basic obvious answer... "A duh, yes I'd rather make $36/mo than lose it" you go off topic on some crazy tangent trying to come up with an an edge instead of confirm...

Don't close the thread yet! Reading about @farmerjohn1324 bringing his millions of dumb money into the market is making me pre-cum. B=========D - -.-..-.... . .

IDK, that's why I asked you how an edge can be determined. How about this... would you rather lose $36/day? Lol

Out of curiosity, how do you suggest this be determined?

I would even go one step further and say there's no such thing as "100% trading without manual input"... someone has to monitor and control the algo/bot, turn the computer on, make sure there are no problems with electricity, connectivity etc. So, it's really a matter of degree. IOW, just how...

First and foremost you should listen to your own intellect. As far as I'm concerned, listen to me or don't listen to me... I don't care. My bot has been basically printing money and so I couldn't care less. And finally, I don't want to even try speaking from a position of authority, just from...

This is basically what I've been posting on this thread from the beginning but he got mad at me because I said it with some hyperbole and authority. You sugar coat it and get a new but-buddy... go figure. I suspect @farmerjohn1324 is just not that confident and needs a pat on the back. But, not...

Ok, I'll contribute something dead serious... be very careful drawing conclusions from a paper trading account to a real money account. Paper trading accounts are not backtesting. They're mostly meant to acclimate you with the interface provided by the broker. That way you don't fat finger...

;) Oh, I feel like you're a little upset with me now... I'm just playing with you. Trade any size you want. If you lose it you can go back to your day job that made you a millionaire in the first place.

Wait... are you going on tilt? Did I hit a soft spot? Yeah... you're definitely gonna want to go at least 100 contracts.

You're only a millionaire? How do you live in such poverty? A hundred contracts at a time might not be enough. You should think about trading larger.

You're right... go big or go home! @Overnight is just trying to talk you out of a good thing because he greedily wants to keep all the profits to himself.

Pure gold, you're going to do great! Don't listen to the haters. Paper trading is actually much harder than trading with real money... if you can make it there you can make it anywhere. I'd seriously think about putting your entire life savings into a real money account and get started ASAP! 100...
