Any traders that live within a 2 to 3 hour drive of DC willing to meet and take trading seriously?

Mate,its 2024.You dont have to go to the town square to mingle anymore.

You could find the son of a member of a wealthy and powerful member of a Saudi Arabian swing trading conglomerate (The Sultans of Swing) online.If you prove your concept,you will have your seed funding.

Again,its 2024,forget about face to face.

I get that you may be a face to face guy,in this scenario that is a shortcoming you need to address.

its no big deal, if people aren't interested that's fair. yeah the meet in person thing is more of a filter as i explained earlier. just don't want to deal with people trolling or who aren't serious. no issues if people don't want to work with me, completely understandable.

I think it's extremely important to be brutally honest with yourself in this game.

If everything clicked 6 weeks ago - why are you still trading 1-2 micros? If you're a prior poster (writing style is similar), you were trading micros 1-2 years ago and also said you were trading at a very high level back then.

You may perceive this inquiry and other comments in this thread as negative (and maybe some are), but there are a few things here that don't quite add up and raises questions.

Day trading index futures profitably is probably one of the hardest ways to make money in this world and I'm sure only the few can do it. And for some they may feel very close and they perceive that it's only some small errors or 'psychology' (common excuse), but those small errors tend to make all the difference.

Most people are better of just investing their money and do something more productive with their life.

If you want a collaboration of any kind, honestly, the best thing you can do is to provide a track record which shows actual results. Those would leave no doubt.

PS: My results improved when I started to focus on the big picture. Index futures and markets in general are noisy on smaller timeframes. ES hits 5350 or more today. Long all morning through all these oscillations.

na i dont take anything personal and completely understand all of what you're saying and mostly if not fully agree. None of those factors apply in this case. Well aware the things you list and all the excuses people make. Also, aware of the bigger picture advantages.

did not see this message till now, but as you can see i already started posting in the ES journal area today. if no one wants to work with me that's fine.

yeah i understand re: results and i am building those, valid point as well.

it isn't about being special, a lot of what i am doing isn't anything super secret it's just I actually commit to doing it and follow the rules. There's a few things I am using that arent the "holy grail" but they are pretty strong and some what unique, but the majority is the risk management system i developed. allows for mistakes and multiple losses with a good recovery period.

i am not joking or bs'ing, ive found some solid things regarding both pa and risk management. it is ok if you dont believe it or have doubts, thats 100% natural in trading and the best default setting to be on considering how much bs and misinformation is out there, so no issues with that. doesnt really matter regardless i am moving on trading and posting some in the es room you guys told me to post in. trade well

yes am being 100% objective in my progress and what i am doing. the backtesting works extremely close to the forward testing which ive never had happen, so another good sign. regardless there's no worries or overthinking, just let the results speak for themselves i agree.

Post the trade and stop. Everything else is conversation... which you say you don't want to engage in? You're so FOS you must be swimming in it.

its your right to ask things, but i also have standards too. surely you understand typing out a stop and entry is doable but it also takes time and i am not like a lot of you guys sitting flush on cash able to take a multi-day trade and let other factors not necessarily related to skill do some of the heavy lifting. I am trading a straight up edge, with limited risk on a smaller time frame. and my literal paycheck to pay my bills right now is also on the line while I am doing that. so yeah not going to to sit here and type out every trade, it's actually impossible considering the time frame I trade for nq.

I can put stop and entry on some ES trades though as I use larger time frame, sure ill try that.

also got some eval's on the cheap as another use recommended as going to need more buying power for my income to over take my bills, so i can actually grow an account.
