  1. Thanks. Best to keep it honest in my view. Nothing gained either for myself or others to be telling any lies.

    Yes. In the past I've been short on skills and short on cash. Now I may have the skills, but still short on cash. I think that for long term success the key is to have enough capital where you can replace your alternative source of income, i.e., day job, with a fairly conservative return.

    I've had a few good days lately, but I can't expect that to be the norm. For all I know it can be a lucky run.

    So, will just keep plugging away with low expectations and see where it goes. :)

    Thanks for the honesty, and especially about the earlier gains you gave back before you started shorting.

    Out of curiosity, why are you having your trades go to 5 different accounts? Does this mean that each time you enter 1 contract you are actually trading 5 in total?

    I think "the internet" messed this up, I also saw different times.

    Just released, 8 dollar movement, looks positive, but you never know when "they" read the fine print

    Dude, why ask the obvious? He has 5 different prop firm accounts and he's using a trade copier. C'mon, get with the program. :sneaky:

  9. NFP needs to come in strong to flip the deflation trade of rotation into bonds out of equities.

    As I mentioned before recession has implied PE contraction. Core earnings in tech can’t miss AAPL may lead to short covering rally that is sold into.
