Traders That Beat The System.

Ok, it's all good. There's a lot of people like that on these boards, so I was just going to concede if that was your angle. But it wasn't so I got caught assuming again. I do that a lot.
Stop crying every day about not having enough capital and spewing B.S. about some guru you follow who never loses. Find more capital and STFU already.
 
Only 23% avg a year to be one of the greatest individual traders? Interesting...
If you think 23% CAGR is too low what is yours?

After 10 years trading full time, I am unable to get 23% CAGR on my combined trading/investment accounts. I failed. :banghead:
 
Two Stellar Track Records come to mind. Madoff. Hillary w/ Cattle Futures, 200K very first outing...not too shabby but not enough for the girl, moved on to greener pastures, as it were. Madoff didn't know when to stop, had plenty of warning could not take the signal and hold up at third, no he headed for home but well not so fast there Bern. managed to piss of damn near everybody and now gets free room and board.
Madoff's fake CAGR was only about 12% and folks were throwing money at him for that level of returns.

Exactly. I think hearing someone not being impressed by ##% returns with small DD over such a long period of time is almost a definition of a newbie still watching videos with penny stock trading guys driving their Lambos :D Well, I watch them sometimes too. Since comedy clubs are closed now...

There was a comment about "some traders" making 20% a month with almost no losing days. I made 18.86% in March with 2 losing days or so. But frankly speaking, that doesn't mean anything. According to my models that is an outlier event that has a high probability of happening at least once in 10 years when the market has exceptional volatility. It will be a big mistake if I start projecting annual returns based on that fluke.

Why you talk big like this, when you can't back it up? If you want to be stupid, I'll be more than happy to oblige you and I'll get stupid back.

First of all if you want to put up a wager on trading a day (same account size, same margins)
the guy I know will literally do this and no I am not even joking, so if you can't put up please just stop.

Secondly, I'll post whatever and however I want. If you don't like it go complain to the mods or block me.


Lastly, I am working on getting more capital.



Anything else you want to address? Let me know. Thanks and trade well.
