I closed out for a profit of $1312.50 fake dollars (8.75 points). Not sure how to improve upon this. I still think the market will continue to go up, but I have to take profits at some point.
It's both. I have a trading plan but I make discretionary adjustments when I see it's needed. But that's not the problem. The problem is the big drawdown that just comes once in a while that's totally unexpected. And it wipes out a majority of my profit and I have to start all over again.
Did you even read the post? Do you have any useful input? Are you a successful trader yourself? Prove it.
I'm not the one claiming to be a millionaire builder who has never had a losing construction job. Prove that.
That's also not the point of the forum. It's supposedly about trading strategies, but I think it's more about losers trying to insult people because they don't have the answers.
Prove that you made money today in a production, not sim, account. You cannot bc you're false. WTF can you possibly hope to gain with this thread? This was also sim? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/party-starts-at-2-30-eastern.370753/page-2#post-5707879
When did I claim to be trading live right now? No, that link was live. I haven't done anything live since transferring money out of Schwab.
Yea the point of the forum is trading strategies. It's not called EliteRealEstateDevelopment. Whether the money I might use to trade came from home building, winning the lottery, owning a convenience store makes no difference to what SHOULD be talked about on here.
