This must be the thread for losers and dreamers. The OP lost his $30,000 stake and now can only dream of the big money. And of course we all know the history of Lucias - the forum's master of trading hypothetical money. Just once, I wish someone would come on here who has done it and says here are my real money trading statements as validation.
if there are on ,rough avg,at least 2, 20 pt drops and 20 pt rallies in one day per mo(4 separate days) ,and if you are in position thats 80 pts,960 pts per yr if you catch it all ,or 2/3 or 1/2 of that on a 1 lot trade
I have traders taking my signals with real money. I figure I've made my subscribers 13k over past 3 months or so. This is just an estimate because I can't know for 100% sure what they are doing.. they can cancel/edit trades etc. But you click the green dot on any of my trades and it shows the real money fills. This month is slow. I'm also going live with my systems soon. What you ask for.. I went above and beyond any level of transparency that anyone in this business has ever offered. Why? Because I'm one of the few.. very few who can actually produce. The guys selling courses who haven't did this can't do this. I already explained in my journal how I've a long term path for success.. putting pieces together little by little. Its working.
60,000 is full margin, now you may only need $500 to put on a position If you make 10 points on mini ES with $500 margin, is that 100% return? In dollar terms it is (and that is all that matters in the end) but you were really putting 60k in play. This is why it is not unusual to see traders make 100%, 500% and more per year on real dollars.
You can't produce and never have been able to produce when your real money was on the line. It's all there in the archives for anyone to see. You are just another aspiring dream merchant/failed real money trader.
