I didn't realize how juvenile and snarky most of E.T. was, but...

Hi C.D.A.- The issues with your first post. It did not follow through. You claimed you had wisdom of trading at different brokers but then only briefly talked about IB with no opinions on what they excel at and what they do not. Yes, that will often bring out sarcasm here.

Well, as I stated here, I'm not going to bother providing answers to unasked questions, but if you would have actually read my first post, early on in it I stated that I don't have long stretches of time to type in these threads and that I would add to it over the days.

Then, you can see by the way it ends that I was clearly not done with even my thoughts about Interactive.

But it's all good -- I don't get anything out of trying to help traders here, and I'm not looking for answers myself. I have not had a losing year in a long time... I'm sure there are things here I could learn from some of the folks here, but I'm also sure there are a lot more I could help than could help me.

Good luck to all of you.
 
If you want to help, read questions people post and answer them.

Stating “I’m successful. I will help you. Ask away” smells of LARPing on a board full of LARPers.

Develop a thicker skin and start providing real content is you really want to help others. Otherwise don’t complain about the snarky response if you claim to have knowledge and don’t share it.

I’ve never heard a seasoned trader say “I take money from unprofitable traders.” Because we all know the markets are so much more complex than that and we (prop traders and speculators) are a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.

You're giving advice that I don't need. I already stated that I'm not going to provide any unsolicited information.

And yes, you have heard a seasoned trader say that. I said it. And the markets are NOT any more complex than that when it comes to the futures markets. If you don't understand that, maybe that's why you're not yet profitable.

Anyone that does a lot of futures option selling knows that it is difficult to find a broker that lets you have free reign to do it. And, unfortunately, some of the few that allow it are terrible because it's obvious they look at options in general as an after-thought, not as something that could be a core element of someone's strategy/trading methods.

It is in this niche area that I reside.

Good luck!

I think you are a LARPer who had no real intention of helping others on here.

I’ve been trading for 23 years and I’ve still never heard a truly profitable trader make the statement you have.

take your ball and go home. The forum is no worse off with you not being here.
 
Simple fact of life, if anyone wants help they will ask for it, unfortunately when they do people come out of the woodwork providing unhelpful advice, another simple fact is there are very few who have any clue what they are doing, the rest need to follow them while providing their own twist so that everyone believes they were the source of that wisdom.

You can make very successful profits daytrading, you can also trade many different futures at investment levels, indicators work perfectly fine if you know how to use them, the fact is you have various combinations that work to generate your success, but you do not have all the combinations and those may suit other people.

Another simple fact is that an individual trader can target 200%pa return, but due to various dynamics including too short a view (you need to plan trades on a 2yr timeline), they will achieve hedge fund returns (15-20%pa), this is where you make your return on investment, more profits means longer timelines, at 15-20%pa with $1,000s they will not see a timeline longer than 1mth, all the interesting numbers happen at $10,000s / $100,000s plus on 1qtr, 1yr, 2yr timelines.
