Thinking About Going Full Time Trading - Want to Make $100K a Month

[zbestoch]

I am interested in talking to people that can take me to the next level of trading and making about $100K a month so approx $1 Million a Year.

People who are/were in this category and still visit ET:
Rearden Metal
garachen
rallymode
nokomisjeff
spike500/PitchBlack

99% of ET is a waste of time and the serious guys don't post often. You'd be surprised who reads this though. $100k/month is a realistic target and for an order of magnitude less it wouldn't be worth the risk and time sitting at screens all day. Tell that to the "trading for a living crowd" though.....

I like this thread. So many will choose to dismiss the possibility out of hand without giving so much as a passing effort to consider that what seems outrageous may indeed be within reach - with the right edge and the ability and capital to implement it. Thankful for GoB's thoughtful reply to the OP.

I suspect there are a many more guys on ET than those on GOB's list, including a bunch of well capitalised traders/investors, even though they might not be the most active posters. It's not a huge income in the financial scene.
OP, you can start picking Volpunter for ideas, but when it comes to Voly's brain, you better wear surgical gloves, as most of his input seems to come out of his ass.

Hi Guys ! I have been trading for about three years now and have read of lot of books and have done pretty well for myself. The most I ever made on one trade is like $240K. I am interested in talking to people that can take me to the next level of trading and making about $100K a month so approx $1 Million a Year. I hear a lot of good things about this platform and some of the posts in here are very helpful. Please let me know if you are making $100K a month and I would like to pick your brain I might need to fine tune my trading to get there. Thank you.

To grow your trading account the fastest safely, use the new Kelly formula:

max[ 0, s1 ]*(s2*s2 - s1*s3)/(s2*s2*s2 + s1*s1*s4 - 2*s1*s2*s3)

...I would like to pick your brain ...

Me Too!

If you are actually serious, you can fly out to visit me. Take a few of my guys to French Laundry for dinner. Some Woodhouse chocolate as a parting gift and you'd probably come away with a thought or two.

This is the correct attitude and it can be done. I'm trying to get there myself.

btw, the opening poster has the biggest ratio of number of likes to number of posts i have seen here, congrats!

Basically, no one is going to believe you, you'd need to be a millionaire already then you would pay a Professional for his help/opinion not come to ET.

Interesting that you say that, i have done this (paid a pro), it has helped, but i'm still not there yet.

The OP's wording make it sound mostly like trolling but the "paying" a pro bit is highly overated imo, which pro is one going to contact to trade better ? One who sells seminars on internet ?
And that's supposed to be better than the info one finds through internet forums or pdfs ?
It's the same for investment and tax btw, it makes sense to dig the internet for information rather than believing the first private banker or tax lawyer one meets.
Mixing both free and paid for sources might be useful though.
