I'm always sweeping profits from my account so I'm not sure how to calculate. If I took an average balance then I'm up around 500-600% this year.
Had some fun with the memes today. I was late to the party because I was researching a new trading strat and not paying attention. Cost me some...
Yes, that was a decent drawdown. If you are a profitable trader you should always be pushing yourself, which means technically you should also...
A newbie should not be shorting microcap flyers. 9/10 times you will make a little, and 1/10 times you lose everything.
I had about a $110k drawdown during the last week of July, then took a vacation...and now I'm back to account highs. One step back, one step...
The past few weeks, yes...today, no. Actually ended the day +$68k after a few other trades didn't work out.

The ideal teacher would be one that posts verified results that they are making a living trading, all while being able to teach. The next best is...
Their pricing structure has 0.25 for >50k now, but when I signed up years ago it was negotiated.
Tuesday update. Today was another slow-ish day, but there was a nice setup in MRNA. I'm sure a lot of guys got paid today in this one. I'm...
20-50k contracts, depends a lot on market volatility
Depends what kind of stocks you trade. Some of my best trades over the past year were contracts that barely traded day-to-day, and I was 80%+ of...
