YM Magic!

The com. is killing the strategy...

I said this on post number 18 on this. Now we are on post number 713!

10 trades a day, averaging 5 YM lots = $200 dollars a day in commissions or $4000 a month. On a $10,000 dollar account that is a huge amount of commissions.

Its like having a $100,000 dollar account and paying $40,000 a month in commissions. Any retail trader who did that would be called insane. But because its only a $10,000 account and 'only' $4,000 it is overlooked and deemed ok. But the numbers are in the same proportion.
 
No surprises, almost 50% drawdown

So around $5000 lost in one day (paper trading of course).

I guess his strategy (chasing intraday moves) would get killed by the Option Ex algo chop.

I forgot, why are we watching him?

This is his Journal. He is still trying to prove to ET how good a trader he is.

He has blown up 2 collective2 accounts we know of. There probably have been more blow ups in between those that he never publicised
