From $60K to $600K

Destiero, your returns are amazing. I am envious.

If you can replicate this type of performance in the Robbins World Cup of Trading or similar trading contest, you could became very famous within the trading world.

Or he could focus on making billions from his own fund and post on ET while he is flying on his private jet

A starting balance of $60,484 (post liquidation). $414,530 YTD gains for 2019.

Absolute gain is not meaningful, it depends on the % gain.

Absolute gain is not meaningful, it depends on the % gain.

Yeah, thanks. You let me know when you show either. Here's a % gain. Expiration Friday.

There is no question you are good. I read and followed your posts closely, especially the butterfly threads.

I have no desire to show how good I am. The only person who knows is my better half and she is not complaining, so far.

I got my FO gig after meeting a guy at the Centurion Lounge inside McCarran airport. I don't think that winning a futures competition would be life changing. I'm willing to give it a go.

Those numbers are the initial marks. I am using that screenshot so I can maintain continuity. I had no intention of implying a % gain. I was only active in that account for five months of 2019.

Cool, like @NQurious said, finally a rags-to-riches journal with a chance of success. And really, the tension isn't whether Dest will make money but whether he can compound at 100% semiannually.

6x risk meaning 6x max PTDD over the year? So 2019's goal is 100% by 12/31 with max DD of 17%.

Dest, congrats on your success. You had mentioned elsewhere that you couldn't do what you do in options in other areas like futures. Do you believe an edge is possible in short term futures trading (intraday or swing)?

Right, 17% on target.
