I am bored of small wins. Would it be dumb to risk more to make it rich?

Do you folks really believe this stuff??

Keeps the site active I guess, why it's a social network not strategic

Yes. I believe every single thing I read on this site. Of course, I don't act on any of it......

never risk what you have for what you dont need

This is one of the best advice I've seen here on ET. Many times we think we need to push, its part of life. Its part of the life the marketers, keeping up with the jonses push on us. When in fact in many cases its quite the opposite. Doing nothing and being fine with doing nothing can and would have kept me out of some of my biggest loses in life.

I tell you exactly why you are a liar and poser. You did not even state your current account balance. Anyone who consistently makes money would know that and include it. Adding that any knowledgeable trader only talks in terms of percentages and never absolute values you qualify as a total amateur. I recommend you to risk nothing until you understand the basics of trading.

I am up 130k for the year but not a millionaire yet. Trading feels boring to me. 1k a day feels like a grind. Would it be foolish to bet more to make 30k a day or so? There have been many times I have been kicking myself for not being greedy

No but it's fun to shit on posers and pretentious wannabes.

Contrary to the popular belief on this forum i gotta say that consistency and grinding it out is overrated. The key is in realizing your edge and pushing it to its limits before it gets saturated(always does and usually sooner than you thought). IMO, you want big rewards you gotta take big risks while the iron is still hot.

Take the 400k to Vegas and put it on the red or the black. If you win, do it again.

no no no... YOLO! lol.

I can put all my portfolio in treasuries and fade into the sunset lol.... but where is the thrill in doing that... 95% equity allocation all the way.

btw OP wasn't sensational enough... yes $130k is too small, I'd be bored too.... pull in a few 7-figures and then we are talking lol.

Just slowly scale your way into billions if you're that good and consistent. With the power of compounding, it won't take long. I have a sneaky suspicion that either (1) you're not that good or (2) whatever you're doing will stop working when the market has a regime change. But maybe i'm wrong.

There are ways to deal with boredom. Maybe you could cash out a bunch of your winning and burn piles of $100 bills like the Joker did in that Batman movie. It must be nice making so much money that you're bored...
