Andy's Day and Position Trading Journal

Hi Wanderer,

no my friend, I have not reached my first billion yet. Trading is hard work and I haven't found a way to get rich in a short amount of time. If anyone else tells you something different just be careful.

Losing all the money in only a few month seems to be much easier ;-)

Happy holiday,

Andy

 

No more day trading this week due to the holiday in the US.

Happy holiday,

Andy

 

version77 - take 3 deep breaths and RELAX !

i was only asking a question , not making an assertion.

I don't have a strategy/method to make billion dollars from the markets !

But, success begins with visualization of success !

o.k. , so how about a million dollar target ? would it be possible to make a million bucks IN A YEAR by using andy's daytrading methods ?

.. i reckon it would need trade sizes of 100 contracts ( instead of the hypothetical 2 contracts )

how easy or difficult would it be to enter/exit current markets
with 100 contract lots and still manage the tick profits that andy's been achieving ?

p.s. andy, thanks for your advice.
