No dude, you made fool of yourself, admitting that without taking insane risks you are unable to pull any significant profits, what means your score in points is at very best truly pathetic (if exists at all).

I'll let you have it

He sounds like a gambler to me. I hope he continuous trading because we need the noise he generates.

Wish you good luck in your trading! Seriously.

And there is a plenty of brokers who offer $500 or similar daytrading margin for futures, so I am sure that's not a problem for you to find and use one.

it now usually takes less than 10 posts to recognize ET's resident troll. Get out of your sister's basement, o clueless one...

why you actin like u some damn smart gump, dis shit here, right here is obvious. even dem east side fools be knowing how to do simple math

Quote from G for God:

since you put some effort into your post

I've decided to make a fool out of you in front of everybody in the whole world (with internet access)

IB margin requirements for futures are the highest in the whole industry, 30 k can only buy you handful of contracts, thus you can not make as much money

but you don't know any of that cause you are a typical paper trader on ET, loser for life aren't you

Slow and steady wins in this business. I hit singles, with a home run every now and then.

Slow and steady, it what pays.

Probably I was wrong and author uses stops as tight as 1-2 ticks ES. Then indeed IB margin req. can be too high to achieve risk of say 2% per trade.

But for trading with a stop of say 1 ES handle or equivalent in other markets, 2800 ES daytrading margin seems fine to me and allows for a profit of well more than 100% in 8 months.
