This is getting funnier and funnier. You took 50k to 5k then back to 14k. You make some reference to other threads and note that this isn't your primary account, among other things. What exactly are we supposed to be learning from this?

No nuckle. You're having a hard time figuring this out here so I will spell it out. I know how to trade so I don't have to come on ET and show my results for affirmation or admiration. I don't need that from anyone. I passed that phase a long, long time ago. Instead, I come on here for the...

OMG! This is just hilarious. You have blown up a 50k account and then turned it around from 5k to 14k and you're here to show all the "Naysayers" how it's done. ROTFLSHIPMP (Rolling on the floor laughing so hard I'm pissing my pants). Dude, you just created a new internet acronym. At...

No! I don't post anything worthwhile. My purpose for being here on ET is for pure entertainment and you've provided me with my full share today :D

Yes you do, otherwise you would not be posting this garbage. You are looking for admiration, affirmation, or both.

The market is NOT up 50% this year. It's up about 11% - ballparking the move from 925 to 1025. It's up 50% from the lows.

Veyron, no one really cares what you do with a paper trading account. In fact, no one really cares if you could do this with a real account. What exactly are you looking for by posting this on ET? Admiration? You ain't gonna get it. All you'll get is grief, and so it should be. Go on your...

Needs to get to $1400 - chart attached

As long as the government can issue debt the racket will continue. There will eventually come a time when the only buyer of US Debt is the Fed. That will be the day of reckoning. If the Fed is successful in their "re-inflate" plan then the racket will continue for probably 10 or more...

The FDIC is back-stopped by the Government's ability to create money whenever it wants. If the FDIC needs another $100B then so be it. A secretary (errr...administrative assistant) will walk over to a computer screen and type in $100,000,000,000.00. There, problem fixed. Welcome to America...

I couldn't agree more. The best traders I know are assholes as people. They are generally ignorant, full of themselves, cocky, egotistical, and shallow, but they make the best traders. You need unyielding confidence in yourself and you can't care a less what others think of you. You need a...

BTW: Legally, you can't accept performance fees from non-accredited investors but since you are not going to be registered with the NFA you can fly under than radar. If at any point you grow big enough to have to get registered then you absolutely cannot collect a performance fee from...

Disclaimer: I'm not a securities attorney. All you really need is power of attorney. Since they are friends and family they probably won't sue you if you lose their money. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have them sign a risk disclosure so they know the full extent of the risk involved. If...

The 311 are still the contracts remaining in the queue. Futures trading is first-come, first-serve so some contracts will get executed even if the price does not trade through. If the price trades through a certain number then ALL contracts sitting on that number will be executed. Watch this...

and for your other question marks....the numbers above and below the 34 in blue and red is the depth of the market. Those are the orders that are sitting at that price. For example, the 494 below the 34 represents 494 contracts that are waiting to be bought at 1005.75. It's important to note...

I use the exact same platfrom -- that's contracts traded. If you look up in the volume column at the top of your platform you'll also see the number 34.

Definitely. All strategies that use leverage are prone to massive losses. Averaging down is just the quickest way :D That being said, however, there are times when averaging down works. Today is a perfect example. Buy the dips following the Fed and let her fly.....

That's before I knew you were averaging on an instrument like sugar. One fucking trade by ADM and you'll lose your house.

Kidding aside, LM. Go do some correlation studies on say, the ES vs the CL or QM. Once you have that number you can create some hedged positions based on the leverage comparison of each instrument. Add some chart reading to that and you have complete control of your risk assuming there isn't...

Why the fuck would you say that? :D :mad: :p
