Pretty rude man. Do you talk to people like this in person?It's easy to get carried away with trash talk on forums, I learned that the hard way. Are you knocking down hundreds of thousands a year from trading profits? Are you this outwardly confident with a sense of superiority in person? I...

nah bro, you're just a spaz and you're rude, and arrogant. I am sure there are plenty of traders around here with much more experience than you, making much more money than you...that don't treat people like trash over the slightest disagreement. Show some respect to receive some my man.

lmao you're such a bum dude, You still short TSLA riding it to zero with Bill Gates?

https://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/CommitmentsofTraders/index.htm This book is all about analyzing the COT data to position yourself with smart money. Also plenty of free COT based charts can be found with a quick google search...much better than the raw data IMO.

I think "you're only as good as your last trade" makes sense if you look at it from the angle of "how you handled that last trade, win or lose, can tell you a whole lot". Like, did you ignore your stop and continue to let it go against you...or get out when you were supposed to? Are you trading...

You say that and it is pretty common trading wisdom but then you have guys like s0mmi...who has done really well with intraday stuff...average losers all the time. have a max pain loss level then average if trade goes against you until it comes back. This method gives a really high win rate but...

why would you increase your size after losing? Makes more sense to me to decrease size if losing until you become profitable again.

What units do you use for MAE? $, Ticks, Etc...? Currently trading futures only. Average hold time less than a day with the occasional multi day hold. Looks like Pain-to-Gain is same as Profit Ratio Mentioned by others. Thanks for the info. EDIT: damn MAE looks crazy useful...MFE and ETD...

I get that results re the name of the game but I'm also wanting to use this as a tool of discovery. If I'm losing money then yes there is obviously a problem...but where? They say the devil is in the details...

Putting together a spread sheet to track performance and curious as to what ETs are tracking. I have slacked in this area in the past and would like to be fairly thorough. Have you found any certain metric(s) to be beneficial in seeing performance flaws, outside of the typical...

watching gold and oil mainly. Working just about all day every day on shorter term trading. Yea that journal is exactly what I described above. It can be done but I have no interest in options at this time.

even day trading them is harder than futures IMO. If you are day trading then you are probably trading near dated options...that move extremely fast especially if the strike is near to ATM due to high gamma. Im sure people do it well, but the price volatility makes entries and exits difficult...

before I answer your questions, keep in mind that I do accept that I just traded options poorly, and am basically a sour douchebag about it. Long options trading is gambling or hedging, and i wasn't hedging shit. Spreads are a requirement IMO. Contracts are so much more simple in futures than...

I come from trading long options on equities (poorly, lots of lessons learned)...expiration on futures is nothing comparatively. Contracts are so much more simple in futures than options...you can just roll over near expiration with virtually no loses. I will reexplore options in the future as...

sadly, curing illness doesn't make money, killing tools do.

There are just too many really successful trraders that use TA to brush it off as snake oil IMO...the market wizards books are full of them. What I have recently learned is that you aren't trading the patterns (typically spouted by TA guys like H&S, support/resistance etc...) what you are...

If more people would study Deez we wouldn't have these disagreements.

I hope it gaps up like mad overnight and puts you in a tent under a southside overpass.
