Yeah you guys are some real professionals. Didn't take you long to resort to trolling. It's par for the course though. I understand. It's pointless you guys don't care if you're wrong on something anyways, too much pride to admit it.

I think you’re too sensitive.
Why do you take everything to heart ?
Why are you the only one that feels betrayed ?

Sounds like you’re just trying to shame LF. For not being consistent about an implementation detail. Is that what you call “seriously work with someone” ?

Tomorrow you’re gonna blame SML because he’s gonna disclose that he actually reads books and thoroughly backtest strategies ?

Alright … I am done.
Wish you the best.

I am not here for pointless social interaction to either worship someone else or have people worship me to think I am some trading guru. I have no interest in that man, I think that is stupid personally. If that's a good use of your time and brings value to your life, that is fine. Just not interesting for me.

Yes, I did waste some of my time today but that is one day in like 4 months, never claimed to be even close to perfect.

I initially came on here to seriously work with someone. All I did was get trolled or people telling me what good traders and pillars of the community they are. So, it's just a joke to confirm and verify a lot of what they say is bogus.

Out of curiosity: what prompted you to post today?

I made around $850.00 between the accounts I traded. Which considering the size of them is an extremely strong day.

Why do you feel the need to prove your dick is big in relation to the size of your pants ?

Obviously just a comment to counter act the people who are relying heavily on capital to turn a profit and say "I made X today", when it's like what you did with what you have is such a low bar and potentially not even related to direct trading skill at all. That's the point, some of the same people who love to preach to others on here and give them "advice" on how to become a daytrader.

First, damn girl, you talk (or write) too much! Do you really need to write so much when it can be summed up in one or two sentences?

Second, granted you're the best trader that nobody ever heard about, you shouldn't criticize others when you lack credibility. At the very least, prove to us that you are someone worth listening to. And only way to do that, obviously, is to show that you know how to trade. So far, you're just talk, talk, talk.

You can be proud of yourself,
That’s all you actually need.

Vs blaming others or seeking approbation.

And quit hiding behind an alias. I know you. I see you.

Why ain't your accounts bigger given that you

1) Improved every month (and was already at a very high level years ago)
2) Are more efficient by each month
3) Have made more money every month

...?

As for bucket shops my opinion is much the same. If I recall correctly, my criticism was specifically towards Apex and from what I've picked up there's a ton of customers who have had trouble withdrawing funds from them getting every excuse in the book to not be "eligible" for a payout.

The latest on their end is that the customer needs to provide two videos of himself to get a payout. One video which films the trader throughout a session. One video which is a screengrab to show the trading process and explain why trades are taken.

You couldn't make this shit up even if you tried to.

Beyond that, my concern was mostly how good of an opportunity these firms are. The game changer for me was when I learned that I could trade 5 linked accounts at once with Topstep at reasonable prices and with a professional operation which have been around for 15+ years.

I'm not sure I would have bothered if I could trade only one account as I'd rather fund it myself, but that's a personal choice.

Because I know that the majority of traders even respected ones that turn a profit are either straight up lying or at the very least being disingenuous on how they make that money. They than offer advice to other traders, when a lot of them(not all) truly don't comprehend what it takes to be long term consistent as a retail trader.

First of all some of them couldn't even succeed if they were placed in the position of the people they are "helping" or giving "advice" too. Beyond that they aren't capable of being able separate their advantages or starting point as to how much that played in getting them to a certain place.

If you aren't able to separate that, it's impossible to effectively guide someone on what it takes or how to get to the point of being a consistent day trader.

Also I had a good month and it just heighten the irritation in me knowing all the garbage, trolling and ignorant things being posted. So, the better I do the more I realize just how many traders are delusional, ignorant or purposely misleading others and it's just amazing the amount. It's like almost should be mathematical impossible. It's almost unbelievable.

"Z" contract is front month now.
"U" expires on Friday.
Look at volume for proof.

Yeah we were using spx, not es.
