S saxon22 Dec 25, 2008 #1 Ok guys, time to shine. How much did you manage to keep/make/hoard/take from the markets in 2008? My take = 168K. Much, much more than I expected and most of it came after August. Goal for 2009..... to be able to keep the 168K and stay humble and disciplined. OK who is next?

S shortie Dec 25, 2008 #2 i just want to make the same pile of $$ in 2009 as in 2008 (but with less drawdown). the only way i could net the same $$ in 2009 is by starting with more capital. the crazy volatility is over i think.

M mrman500 Dec 25, 2008 #6 I used options to trend follow futures ( corn, crude oil, US dollar index). Typically held the position 5-40 days.

S saxon22 Dec 27, 2008 #7 I day trade ES only. Typical setup is 1+1, which sometimes goes to 2+2 rarely 4+4 seldom 8+8. end result = 168K
