Personally,
I don't make any money at all, but my computer makes about 30% per year :)

Are you referring to automated systematic trading?

If so,
How long have you been doing this...and, Not to be Sarcastic or anything...but are you like really rich from compounding into the sky... o_O

Or, like most things...are there are drawdowns, or a double-edge sword to consider, or certain side effects that would otherwise slightly hinder a fruitful endeavor,

WRONG! That would be me.

5 years ago I went to a bar to do the typical "getting-a-date-at-a-bar" ritual. It ended up with me drunk and in a Ménage à trois with people I knew for just 90 minutes before the tryst. In the morning, after two hours of sleep, I was told I had to leave and we could not do it ever again because they realized the "grandkids" were coming over any minute, and it would have been a "bad scene" if I was there in the house.

WTF lol!

How old are you that you ended up with Granny's ?

Or were you so drunk you didn't even realize they were much older?

Or are you secretly digging the Granny types ?

You are making assumptions about age here, which leads me to believe you are too young to understand the human condition.

You can be a grandparent very early on. You can be a grandparent at, say, 32 YO.

You have a child at 16 YO. Then your child gives birth when they are 16 YO. That means that at 32 YO you are a grandparent.

You dig? Stop distracting from Robby Luca's thread with your "not-understanding" things. This tangent is "hereth ended"...AGAIN.

Actually, @Robby Luca will have better answers if he asks what's your annualized sharpe ratio. Comparing annualized percentage return on derivative markets is a proof of a lack of basic understanding of risk/rewards.

You are absolutely right, but how many on ET do you think know the Sharpe ratio of their portfolio ?

Agree, I would also like to hear a bit more about what he does. It seems each week he makes similar brief statements without being challenged such as "TradeStation is best", "I've been doing this since the 70s", "I make 30% per year", "I've developed 200 systems", "I've been programming since the days of Fortron", "Market conditions change and the strategies stop working(his most famous ambiguous statement), "I can teach you how to trade, I charge $100 per hour", "don't get excited, live trading results are only 30% as profitable as backtest results" etc etc.

@Steve Alexander How about you spend a bit more time in here so we can have an actual discussion with you...
