Honestly, Can You Be Successful Without a HUGE Account?

it was a joke

jtnet,

Maybe you should switch handles with captain obvious. Of course this was photoshopped to remove the account numbers and personal information.

As far as the actual fills they are intact (you can tell because there is no stamping artifacts). Ha - dont start an debate with a professional digital photographer :) Also, I invite anyone to call the broker to confirm. Soo many skeptics here on ET. Let me ask you this. If you dont think making money with trading is possible. WHY ARE YOU HERE?? :) grin. Personally if I was going to photoshop p&l for something. I'd make it a lot better then a measly $155 gross total.

But ok. Give me a fax number and I will fax over the actual hard copy but the account numbers will still be marked thru with a sharpie.

The ET Forums way.

Trader A: I made money!

Trader B: Prove it!

Trader C: Awesome, what's the trick?

Trader D: Enjoy it while it lasts

Trader E: Nice, keep it up.

We need more Es, less Bs and Ds, Cs are ok.
 
Cajun,
after reading this post and how well you have handled unneeded insult towards you , in my opinion i think i may join your group and try it for a few months in the very near future. most people in this business are scam artist in my opinion again, but i think you have some integrity .
 
Overtime, don't we expect her account to grow, that way she can add the # of contracts traded????

Simple Money management we call it. You don't need a ton of cash, all you need is patience, perseverance and a set plan.

Set your account value targets, when you get there increase your contracts...

Success is subjective.

There was a time a $100 day was a success to me. At least I made something. Perhaps not a lot, but it's sure better than losing $100
 
But of course. That is the ultimate goal. In my experience people increase their contract size way too fast. I'd want to monitor her for many more months before advising a contract size increase.

Bearbelly,

Sorry to burst your bubble but it was his idea to post this :)

FACT: Alex is an excellent trader

FACT: I am a 'decent' trader but I'm not a manger, marketing expert or publicist.

So maybe I'll take your insult as a compliment. Thank you.

But I will ask this person if we can post followups on the month or maybe a whole week at a time. This idea was to give hope.. instill a bit of confidence. Not start a negative thread.

Was it his idea to come on a public forum and offer $1000 to anyone who will follow all his calls? Why do you suppose the major chat sites go out of their way to publish disclaimers that they are educational sites only? What if someone follows all your calls and loses a lot of money and decides to sue you? I think lawyers would salivate at the prospect. I'm sure youre a nice guy with good intentions but I dont think youre calculating your risk properly.
 
Maybe the better question would be, can a person "maintain" success with a small account? Add to that, how do you define success? Making money for a single day? Week? Month? Year?
I commend you for trying to illustrate that it is possible to be successful at trading with limited resources. However, a better illustration would be to take someone that's been with you for six months, with a small account, and track their record. You wanna' boost your subscriber numbers, show some of those...if you have them.
