In this case, surfer may or may not be fibbing. The "evidence" is at best suggestive, depending on how you view him. However, when I raised another issue a while back, I believe that the circumstances were more compelling. I try to be circumspect.

Ah, you take him at his word. :D

Well, you're the only one around here who does T-Dog, you're the only one who does.

LOL ... overtooled, pretty much tells the whole damn story.

Quote from Thunderdog:

You earlier post in the other thread which I referenced was not specifically in the context of the recent volatility. Your post was not conditional in this regard. Further, quite apart from your views of "very doable" and "easy" performance, your arithmetic was wrong.

The volatility, though sweet, really isn't necessary when trading like this, it's really just overkill.

As far as the math, nope, it's correct.

Good luck with your continued studies about trading.

You are right, my chart shows Chicago time and I was subtracting 1 hour instead of adding. Still fishy... :eek:

In your post from another thread which I posted in this thread earlier today, you noted how it was "easy" and "very doable" to make 50% per month. You then set out with an example, showing how a $2,000 performance bond (your reference to a margin requirement for trading one ES contract) could "easily" generate an income of $2,000 per month. Umm, that's a 100% monthly return rather than the 50% you were trying to "prove."

But hey, at 50% or 100% per month who cares? At this level, you're playing handball with the gods.

Good luck with your continued studies about arithmetic.

There is an inverse relationship to the performance bond used and number of contracts traded, and the % return using this method of trading.

I realize this is a level you are not used to playing on, and unfortuantely I can't help you get there.
