Its really hilarious what has happened to me:
1.) I learned about my bond system from a generous person who presented themselves in need of a partner. We traded by camera for several hundred hours (yes actually traded). Then this generous person texted me and asked me not to contact him again because I told him about a discussion I had with a trader from ET who asked me why I was trading 25k for a week without a profit and I did not have an answer for him. I have discovered how to trade the Bonds with mechanical brackets for an exit but it might be too late as I destroyed the Gauntlet. I may have to restart with a new Gauntlet. I have discovered from this that I am a mechanical trader (and from the poster TRS whom I also befriended) not a discretionary trader. Using order flow is mainly for discretionary traders...however the charting that I use requires that orderflow be used to calculate the entry signal.
2) I have a pattern trading system that I attempted to add to my trading arsenal which lost a great deal of money on one day of the Gauntlet. This last Friday it made 2k in my other account. So two accounts are better as they are not trading the same way with the same charts.
3) I find ET as a forum to be more distracting to me as a trader than it was to me before posting my trades in this thread. There are several well-meaning posters here...but I started this thread in the spirit to help Earn2Trade as when I approached them in the beginning I was a detractor from their whole business plan and later discovered I was wrong. I think I have helped them and payed it forward now. I know of at least three traders that I brought to them...all are good traders.
4) Another Trader befriended me as I would not share this Bond System with him after he shared his system with me. He actually has left ET for the last few weeks and is posting over in Futuresio. He was a real friend for a while and I consider still a friend...just cannot converse with him. I do not share his system or this bond system with anybody as they are not mine to share. Come to think of it I have nothing of my own to share...the pattern recognition is dependent on software that I did not write...I just improved it with my own spreadsheet. The Forex EA that I have automated is not my own either...again I just improved it. I am testing something new that I found for financial mangers and bank traders on Monday...I do not trade the Bonds on Monday and now Fridays too. So I got some time on me. I will always try to widen my horizons looking and always looking. The only thing that I have not tried are options other than with Lawrence McMillian years ago in his early days. (I lost 20K of my mothers money...she is dead now rest her soul. I was my mothers lottery ticket and failed her too). I find option traders here in ET obnoxious and cannot read their threads...
Many of you are still reading to see what happens and whether you are rooting for me or not does not really matter as you can answer a lot of questions for yourself by following this journey. Many of you have discovered that in fact you are good traders after reading about my mistakes.
I will continue to post my trades and most of the private threads that have been formed are a great encouragement for me. There are some that do not want me to succeed and that is ok too...for what reason I do not know?... other than they are projecting their own inner-thoughts about themselves upon me. One of the posters even told me he was rooting for me while telling another trader that he thought that I was mentally incompetent to trade (that is not ok). Folks I just do not like people...I am an introvert and reached out to the world here on ET asking for help...some say this took a lot of courage...well yes it did. Would I do it again? I do not know.
I will continue to post my trades with less commentary and emotion and if you wish to read so be it...But if I am able to make 10% to get an offer from Earn2Trade it would be highly unlikely that I would get a 20% offer...actually I know of no trader that has a 20% offer from Earn2Trade...but that does not mean there are none. I can tell you that I would do the Gauntlet over for 60 more days rather than to accept a 30% cut off the top...just out of principal. But what if there are no 20% traders in Earn2Trade? How would I know?...

Considering this is the YM...Hard to trade...You have done pretty good...Those trends help you..
I did the wild card one.....the one in which you guarantee a performance of $1,500 net, net, net per month.

You don't have to do FB to see my public posts.
I achieved a return of 15.66% in 60 days, mostly trading one contract in the last three weeks.
Love the YM, so smooth to trade.
