  1. Hello Millionaire,

    How did you get your trading income to $XXX,XXX per year? If you do not mind me asking please.

    Thank you,

    You know the answer already, compounding. Double your account, double your lot and bet size.
    Doesn't take long to get to say 32 NQ lots:

    1->2->4->8->16->32 lots

    I read it took 100 doublings to create the universe from almost nothing.
    But it only takes 5 doublings to get to a lot size where you can make a very decent living.

  3. Thank you Millionaire.

    Yes, you right sir. You right. I just gotta keep on going and get that account up and double/triple them contracts.

    For my trading, I am risking 5% of my account balance per trade. So the fast the account balance goes up the faster the contract size goes up .

    The other week you were saying you risk a strict 2%, good to see you are really going for it now with 5%.

    Spending time with your kids is an easy cure for feeling empty inside. I think i am going to be depressed when all mine become adults. Im hoping for grandkids but the way everyone is having kids later and i am not sure how old i am going to be when that happens.

    Start making preparations on dealing with taxes. If not
    you'll find yourself sharing a large % with the I.R.S.

    Things like using an LLC and buying dirt cheap fixer
    upper realestate, and never fixing it up will save you
    a lot of money with the Taxman.

  7. Certain types of problems grow when you get to making good money. Also, most people don't continue to make great money for their whole life, it's usually a short period of time. So what happens? They get big money, big problems, money goes away, big problems remain.

  8. There's nowhere to volunteer here ,
    I have no kids, freaks me out to think of having any . After what I've been thru in life it's hard for me to look at any little kid and think the world is gonna be OK for them

    It looks like you're really deep down the rabbit hole. And I mean really fking deep.
    So deep that the sun doesn't shine for you because you have nothing else but your work. Your entire self worth is tied to that which makes your life a living hell since emotions are extremely volatile for you right now.

    Been there, done that. It's a shitty place to be in and only you can dig yourself out of it. Find something to counterbalance that weight. Something trivial which you might even think is moroninc
