One of the things I've become painfully aware of is that day trading in many ways feel like a job as you do have to show up on time and stay put at your computer. So, it's not for everyone. Set it and forget it may work well with stocks that are trending off the open, but most of the time it's...

Back on topic. I talked in private with a guy who used to post here which had a fairly good run. He took a $2400 account where his initial trade was a $700 loss to $135K. This was day trading ES and I think it was over a 2 year period or so. This was a retail trader with no professional...

Isn't he a vendor? Great guy, but I'm not sure he actually 'made it'. Apples and oranges. Qullamaggie is a trader, not a fund manager running a Ponzi, i.e., he has no clients. As for ICT, I briefly checked out his content after running across him during my brief period on Twitter and while...

Minor and short lived swings in the grand scheme of things, yes? Yes, it's a trader's market now. Long only traders have felt the pain these last two years. Well, that much goes without saying, I suppose. :) If I could have turned back time, I'd focused on swing trading and investing when I...

The devil is in the details. Specifically, I said, "It's only these last two years we've had anything that resembles a traders market in equities.". What I mean by that is that the volatility have been heightened with plenty of sizeable swings both up and down which makes it a good market for...

What isn’t true? That sounds like an investment and not a trade. Exactly what in my post did you disagree with as you seem to be repeating my message?

I'm not sure I said anything about 'punting away', hence my question and curiosity about the individuals referenced by @newwurldmn. My point is that there's a big difference between having an actual edge and compounding a small account into a large one by thousands of trades versus one or a...

On here or in the real world? If you read this thread there are quite a few were word have leaked out as you would say, but I'm sure there are many that have maintained their anonymity to the public eye. I've had the pleasure to talk to a few members here in private which are succesful and...

How so?

Doesn't need to be posting here. But generally, it's always interesting with details on how such a feat came to be. Did he buy a ton of Bitcoin while drunk which he forgot about and recovered a decade later? A few lucky option trades? Or day trading?

Which isn't much. Why no more details? You don't need to name anyone.

Specifics, please? My uncle turned $10 into $500K. He won the lottery.

Momentum fizzled out at mid range. NQ FBO of the Open. Let's see if the LOD holds on this PB. No shorts for me from here, so looking to see if we'll get a rally out of this base or an FBO off the LOD.

The one that comes to mind from recent times would be Qullamaggie. Swedish swing trader. I'm pretty sure he's legitimate. About - Qullamaggie Maybe the Flash Crash trader Navinder Sarao would qualify as well, although he did start out in a trading arcade. I'm not sure that quite qualifies as a...

NQ ripping through the Open here and ES through mid-range. New intraday high in play...

Mid range reached. :cool: If that doesn't cap this, I'm thinking new highs. Possibly 4430 by the Close, but might stop at 4420. Just paying attention to NQ now for clues.

Good chance we have the LOD for the day here. Looking for a move back to mid-range or new highs.

What are you trading? Both long and short?

Thank you for your detailed write up, buddy. The reason I was asking is because I believe I've seen you also trade ES and NQ in the past, so I was curious what made you seemingly settle on YM now in favor of the others. On ES, the constant back-filling can be a challenge. Arguably, an...

Threads on ET tend to take on a life of their own. Often going in a different direction than the OP. Anyway, I think @SimpleMeLike is mostly stringing you all along and enjoying the attention he's getting, although I do think he's dead serious in some aspects. I'm pretty sure he took or at...
