    I would recommend $100,000 or more in trading capital though a smaller amount could work. I made right around $10k last month on $97k but I do not expect that every month. I am targeting and annual return between 50 and 100 percent. My current approach trades stock index futures (ES, NQ, YM) with 2 to 3 trades per week.

    It's easier to set up a signal service.

  4. Low frequency/High leverage, is the only chance a limited resource trader has, to make triple digit gains.

    I don’t think many could even execute my system correctly, I also believe my system is very complex to code.

    For a $100k account, the max my portfolio of strategies would be holding is four contracts. So yes, leverage is used but not necessarily excessively high.

  7. That’s conservative, and smart, but at 100k initial, I don’t see 100% gains unless you’re at around say 10 NQ contacts, or by luck catch a crazy runaway market within the year.

  8. Jan was an easy month. How much did you made or lose using that strategy back in oct. - dec. 2018?

    I went live in mid December so that is when my live results start. Backtest results for the 4th quarter of 2018 are close to a 9% return. If you want to learn more, send me a PM.
