  1. Mmmm... Yeah seems about right... Ironically, most of Eastern Europe, giant Russia included seems to have better access to the internet than the US which invented the damn thing!

    Yea we have continuous battle for customers among providers and it results in prices getting quite low at the same time with modern equipment and good quality of service. If I can complain on something here it's maybe weather but certainly not Internet.

  7. Nice looking place, some attractive women obviously, nothing at all like I imagined.

    Remind us again now, why don't you trade every day?:D

  8. So far no claims of stratospheric returns or no losing days-- looks legit so far and nothing yet to trip the BS-o-meter.

    He acknowledges there will be shitty weeks and months. In his micro account example, the $3,000 account went to $3,200 in 2 months--- that's $4,200 after a year--- a 40% gain.

    This is a far cry from the claims of the big talking hindsight jockeys who profess to no losing days and % returns in the thousands or tens of thousands, yet hide behind rhetoric and doublespeak when asked for proof!

    Let's hope this journal stays in the realm of reality!

    I do trade every day. It's a matter of quality signals if they appear or not.

    Market doesn't ask us what to do and I prefer not to impose wishful thinking on it forcing trades. :)

    Common view on SIFs is they usually give a maximum of 2-3 real quality signals per day on average. Some days more, some days none. I trade just first hours, so... do the math. :)

    To be fair that return is hopefully not to be extrapolated on future, cause it's since I started to publicly show performance and it had serious effect on my style. Quite an interesting psychological experiment on myself in style of XIX century when scientists infected themselves with the diseases to know symptoms well... I intentionally infected myself with even more insane psychological challenge than just trading to move on the next stage of objectivity and credibility in career. :)

    But overall yes, I don't claim anything at all, let's just see what it turns out like. The only claim is sure beat the 20% annually figure without any doubts, ha. :D

    P. S. Speaking of those who have much better returns, I believe them as well. Because NoD for example has much higher trading frequency in CL than I do in NQ. With frequent high probability trades almost no losing days and serious return is quite possible I believe. Just my goals are a little different from her goals in trading. I want to move to serious scalability and intentionally don't trade volatile but illiquid markets for that reason.
