I wouldn't use the terms "beating" or "abuse" to describe today. It was just an extremely sideways volatile tape... probably due to PFG unwinds. A -36 cent per contract draw and back to a +92.5 cent per contract finish is not at all unusual in CL. Impossible in ES or some other symbol that...

Apart from who does what specifically here, let me add that wins & losses, ratios, etc mean very little to bottom-line results. That is of interest to data mining, but doesn't tell a whole story at all. Today for example I began trading CL in 4-lots, 2 and 2 on split entries at 8am eastern. I...

If you want to open a futures trading account with the $2,000 minimum, you need to fill out a dozen-paged agreement, provide a picture license or passport for proof of id and under no circumstances fund with third-party checks where name on check does not match exactly the name on account...

Robbins Trading has been a division of PFG for several years now... they sold to PFG some time ago. People often ask me why I demand day-trade margin in my trading accounts, why I would never trade thru any IB that doesn't offer $500 for eminis or $1000 for CL intraday margins. This is...

But you've made more than that in the past, right? How might that differ from the present time? I suppose you still do same or better today if you managed to evolve with your markets. If not, then it isn't the market's fault. ** After six years and two months of frequent and then...

That's the advice I'm trying to give you. What you are doing in here, all of your time and efforts ARE NOT bringing you nearer to success. You are drowning in a sea of literal noise, and it is affecting you mentally & emotionally when it comes to methodical trade decisions. So avoid the...

how many times must it be said that the instruments we all trade as individual traders will not scale up to even a fraction of that ass nine ridiculous ass u mption? +$500 a day on $50,000 is f'n cake if you half know how to trade. +$50,000 per day on 5,000,000 is impossible because the...

I admire your willingness to learn this profession, so i'm going to offer you free advice... take it or leave it, doesn't matter to me either way. Your 50 posts per day here in this forum teaches you nothing. By your own admission, your own words, you found today's price action a total...

apparently you mistake this current alias of yours inside an anonymous public message board as something that actually matters :cool:

Same as all the previous years your now-dead past aliases and I rehash the same drivel. You are quoting me out of context. I said no edge exists solely in mechanical OR emotional fashion alone. Any blackbox system run unfettered for years on end has no edge. Reading "Trading In The Zone"...

do you see a post here dated 5/25/12? I don't

no edge exists? where is the entire post in context to that drivel? There is no post in my archived history as such... the prosecution is summarily discharged and barred from further practice in court. Time for your 37th alias here now... please feel free to pretend you are someone else...

no it doesn't... same as I told your prior 36 aliases here in years past :)

lolol... yes, yes, of course. The only real-money traders in public are those who post 6,000 times yearly in public message board threads :cool:

The market itself has no idea whether you are trading sim or real money. How could it? Whatever you accomplished in sim was equally doable in real cash. The difference you describe is your own personal emotions... lack of faith and trust in what you were doing then to stand up going forward...

Public message boards of any topic that attract men are identical in function: the disgruntled failures are always loudest and most aggressive because they have pain to share. They don't come to learn or contribute... they come to validate their own failures by denying success is possible...

It ain't scalable because everything other than ES is limited in liquidity for small-gains trading before slippage is a negative factor. Whales don't day-trade NQ or TF or 6E for $300 contract moves. We are rabbits amongst elephants, our sole advantage is being nimble and nothing else

http://www.youtube.com/user/cmtrades wrong assumption again

A $50K futures account can trade five (5) emini contracts at $10,000 cushion each. I'd personally trade more than that, but to each their own. A five-lot NQ position using -5 point stop is risking -$500 per trade. -1% of account balance at risk per trade. Is that out of line, somehow? A...

no he won't, because it ain't scaleable to infinity message-board assumption #2: everything is factored to infinity
