I think you're up $ overall. And you have video games as a hobby. So if trading was hobby time and you've not lost money then no harm done. You did a cool run this year, shows what is possible with discipline when conditions are right, but you don't have any edge you could build a career on...

Somebody smart and successful here suggested three months.

From your recent livestreams you've been mean reverting when breakout was appropriate and vice versa. You've got away with it sometimes because of the high volatility and the distance of your target - you take a late breakout when the market has switched to mean reversion and barely get filled...

No point stopping during a drawdown unless your judgement is affected. The drawdown could continue from whichever arbitrary point you decide to resume trading. Losses are always a possibility until you quit for good. From the statements and live streams you've posted, it seems your discipline...

I use Stefan Didak's Windows Layout Manager (WiLMA)

One of the best reasons to come on Elite is to find calls to fade.

I want to trade CME futures options, mostly butterflies, and want to avoid legging or using an autospreader. Is there a good frontend which supports the exchange listed butterfly products e.g...

@globalarbtrader & @bone have warned about trading the front month

Don't CQG routing fees stop at a (fairly low) monthly cap?

That rarely happens and when it does it takes closer to 30 months than 30 days. You're lost if you think someone goes from disruptive / ignorant to valuable in only 30 days. Were your own struggles over so quickly? Common sense is not so common. I've been putting effort for over 3,650 days and...

@virtusa you may have missed my other post: My point remains that there is far too much drivel here and not enough moderation to allow market professionals and serious aspirants to hold intelligent discussions.* Ignore/block is an important part of keeping the site somewhat usable. Social...

That was intentional. I'm not him and he's not me. And I didn't have the full story. Thanks for explaining @Baron

Hey @ITM_Latino, I'm sure you appreciated @destriero giving you the benefit of his decades of options experience in your TSLA trade. Unfortunately, Elite's owner @Baron has removed his ability to "block" trolls and nonsensetalkers, so the help you received won't be available to others in the...

I've connected in real life with 2 8-figure traders who used to post here. They wouldn't bother participating here without block/ignore lists. @destriero has been super helpful - how many legit guys even interact with the general public, let alone respond directly to questions etc. Nobody does...

You've got a couple of people with heavy 8 figure careers telling what doesn't work....and it's ignored. Guess every dilettante knows more than industry practioners with employment histories in finance and over a decade of success running their own book. Scary.

Fixed line is great here :) Telcel 4G is about half that OP's on the other side of the continent from me & PV though.

Okay, I'll test pulling the IV figure from the ATM options on each future I trade at the beginning of the session. And then calc a 15/30 minute volatility estimate from that - dirty (6.5 hours of RTH) approximation for NDX IV/ ((13*252)^2) = 30 mins vol is 1/57th annual, 15 mins is 1/81. By the...

If you don't have a vol based target you will fail in D1. As a trader. ( without OPM etc. ) I recall you recommended even using an ATR with a 2.5 day lookback set to the duration you are planning to hold the trade as a target. For D1 with leverage, I've not personally found it feasible to have...
