"You winnings, sir" "Oh, thank you very much. Everybody out at once!" lol That was funny. I didn't know people laughed in black and white.
wasn't gonna trade today but got in from work. Tried the short. Looked good to me! Didn't really play out. Decided to chase the long instead. Covered. Green decently overall
Nice trading, apprentice! I did a couple small NQ scalps, just enough to get add another profit day to my Topstep accounts. I need one more profit day before the end of the year to qualify, i.e. be permitted access to my earned profits and receive my next payout. I'll be taking a nice payout to start 2025. I've been studying up on these 0DTE options with the help of a friend of mine who actually knows about how such things work. I think for the new year, I'm going to start practicing with 0DTE options on the QQQ to capture profits on these big swings. I'll just be using a small cash account for those. I know if I use a margin account with $25K+ in it to allow for day trading I'll probably turn it into another $0K account pretty darn quick. I use ToS for some charting and every time I log in it reminds me that I'm a pattern day trader and that my margin account is broke so no trading in that account for me. I'm afraid to fill it up again. It hasn't gone well in the past lol As for the NQ, while I've hit for some good swings lately, but in my heart I know I am more comfortable getting in and then getting out quickly with a tidy profit. You and LF continue to inspire me, even if I know you guys do things I might never be able to do myself.
I see there is a new journal here at ET where a member is proposing to trade $7K to $1MM. I wish him luck! I'd be happy to race him. I bet I could trade $1MM to $7K faster than he'll go the other way. Any of you kind sirs wish to spot me a million so we can see who wins?
I know a guy that started with $15K and ran it to $1m in six months trading ES. Nothing short of spectacular! Rooting for the $7K to $1m guy for sure!
I have no doubts that such feats can be done. It wakes a special discipline to do it. I'm not that guy, yet. But I too am rooting for him.
ha. You're actually light years ahead of me! Your consistency is off the charts. Not to mention you've posted some days with a PNL that would take me a gazilion days to make! As said before, I really am a 'hobby trader'. If was really good, i'd be doing this for a living! But i'm not. For a while it's been a nice little income booster to add to my wages, but the relentless bull market has surely helped! The idea of doing this for a living is something I dismissed quite a while ago now. I'd always wanted too, but time and time again i've proved to myself that i'm simply not at the required level. But I see no reason why you (and LF) can't soon be full time traders making the silly money! I mean, you both already are in fact! Some insane green days recently! And long may it continue! Not sure how long you've been around, but you just kinda seem like a natural at this! Deffo off now! (wasn't supposed to even trade today!) Happy christmas one and all
