I helped a woman I met on ET a couple years ago. I taught her one of my simple (highest odds) price action strategies and told her to study hundreds of appearances of the setup. I advised her to master that setup and then other ideas would start to come to her, but it was crucial to master one setup thoroughly first. I worked with her for a few months. She is the only person I worked with who followed my advice. I hadn't heard from her in a while and I touched base with her recently to see how things turned out. She ended up getting funded by TopStep Trader and she said that my help made a difference in her life when she was struggling. Maybe it's the student that has to work.
Hey ND... I have a question if you don't mind about this whole getting funded business. I simply doesn't why traders aren't trading their own account, so what am I missing? If trading futures, which I assume she was given that she was learning from you, even a $10,000 account would have allowed her to trade a couple of contracts. I imagine a minimum of $500 would be more than possible as a daily average of what she could make (more some days, less other days, but I think this is a good number, or at least in the ballpark). After only a couple of months of trading after you are doing it right would allow for sweeping some nice profits out of the trading account and into anything else. I doubt that a futures trader moves to trading 50 to 100 contracts just because they have access to a much bigger account. Now none of this applies of course if you are trading equities since you do probably need that several hundred thousand as a start, but once a trader knows what they are doing, I just don't understand why they need someone else's money.
I have two (that I know of), plus two in process (we'll see if the latter hatch without significant defects). So these results are not unusual.
This weeks trades (all called live here) Mon +15 Tue +14 Wed -2 Thur +11 Fri +8.75 There seems little point in keep posting my trades live as I take them so any updates/results will likely be at the end of day going forward
