Somehow, it seems you started a few other clueless threads like this recently.

There is. Few traders will come up with longterm, highly successful outperformance edges. I am talking positive expectancy, not psychology and feel good. Trading is negative sum (a lot of costs are taken out of the pot). And most of those who do have an edge will blow up with money...

They should have the parties and cancel the bonuses

Anyone giving out userID/pw needs to have their head examined. Especially with all the internet fraud and identity theft Seriously, why would ANYONE ANYWHERE for ANY REASON do this? Or consider it? BTW, please leave your SSN, address, maiden name, driver's license, medical cards, bank...

they deteroriate because they usually do not work in the first place. It is highly unlikely to maker longterm good $$$ from any advisory or "newsletter"

You just blew away all credibility anyone could have for you as a trader... A) You gave a mindless Trading 101 concept (you think you invented "1 tick above or below"?) As I said, the market does NOT work that way. Unless of course, you care to provide a spreadsheet with thousands of non...

I am curious, did you ever run a TradeStation type analysis on your trading? At minimum, Profit Factor, Sharpe/Sortino, dradown analysis, etc.?

THIS is what you will find to be the big problem. Shortly followed by the act that few people will ever build a profitable, statistically sound longterm track record. There are already some threads on doing a hedge fund and finding investors (very very hard). You should go and spend time...

Obviously, we hope for the best. But I think you do not realize how small your chances of success is just going into a prop firm and expecting to make a go of it. it is not 50%, it is not 20%, I would say you are in the several % category, if lucky. I STRONGLY suggest you study the Prop...

Quote from Misthos: I doubt an "alchemist" will be able to commercially create gold anytime soon. If ever. "Alchemists" already create elements out of others out of atom smashing. It is already doable, but yes, prohibitively expensive. As for the opening up of more mines- mankind has...

"Milking" is a very common analogy for what govt or others do in trying to suck out whatever they can from an opportunity. Next time, I will try to dumb it down for you, so you get it... do you know what a "Golden Goose" is? Sorry, a goose is a large bird...

This seems a rather arbitrary choice. The market is neither that clean nor easy, especially these days. What about a trending market? A choppy market? A sideways market? When the market is going against or with your trade? Without testing this idea, it has a questionable basis. A better...

Yes. Test a number of different value for the instruments you are looking for over a LONG period of time (think multiple years, not just the last few months). Look for values where the neighboring values are also high, for robustness. (I am talking about charting the different values and...

Further, the S&P cash price is up over 60% since March [below 675 in March and now at about 1087], so TimingCube is actually lagging very badly. S&P CHART:

Do you know their trading statistics (Sharpe/sortino, drawdown analysis, profit factor)? Or the fact that new traders only focus on those claiming to be "winning" and not seeing all the ones that are losing? Do you look over #179 in Hulbert? Of course, not. But TimingCube is just as likely...

Quote from saltycoot: While interviewing with a prop firm I was told that i probably won't make much money the first year if any. "if any" is the truest words in that statement I've got about 15 grand saved up Not nearly enough to support yourself while trading. That is called...
