That's about a child of 14, though (and I started learning to trade when I was 13/14, myself). There's a world of difference between that and...
Thanks ... it's not my first language, admittedly, but I usually manage to do a little better than that! My misunderstanding, of course, and I'm...
Not easy at all to tell if this is a serious post ... Her mothers? I'm confused: if she's your daughter, aren't you her mother? What did I...
I worry about your position sizing relative to your account size (in so far as I can, without knowing what either of them is, you understand) ......
Not bad indeed! What's the R:R, here? Is there any danger of the 20% of losers (if the win-rate falls to 80%, over time, as you suspect) wiping...

Welcome to ET anyway, Lukas: if the reputation that precedes you is at all accurate, I strongly suspect you'll find it rather more to your taste...
I'm far from convinced about that part. I think unrealistic expectations ("thinking it's simple") are a common reason for failure, not for...
I've been thinking about this interesting question, and discussing it with some friends, since you posted it. I offer five observations on the...
No; not necessarily. No. This is correct. "Quants" in institutional trading (though it's arguable, especially these days, that independent...
Tuesdays and Thursdays, with no hesitation at all. For me, Mondays and Fridays are the least interesting days, by quite some margin. Monday's...
Very nearly correct: the weekly loss limit doesn't apply for long: only until the maximum trailing drawdown has moved up to the account starting...
Funded accounts don't have "targets" at all, Paula; targets apply only to the two stages of the Combine. I don't know whether TST would tolerate...
No. Not necessarily: that depends on which platform you choose to use (that's for a funded account: for the Combine, notional commission is...
It always was (and some people did): that hasn't changed. On the "timing" front, all that's changed is that the first step of the Combine has...
All you need to do, to continue to trade a funded account successfully, is to keep on steadily doing what you've already successfully done twice...
No - not right at all. (That wouldn't be much of a deal, would it?! Anyone might start off losing their first trade or two, no matter how good...
And the "weekly loss limit rule" (applies to step 2 of the Combine, and to funded accounts) is eliminated as soon as your trailing maximum...
Sure ... I hear you, of course. (It depends a little on what kind of trading they're doing, I suppose ... some people take only a small handful...
Be happy? If your position-sizing was appropriate, etc. ... but for myself I'd want to see the rest of the 300+ trades as well. The reason I...
