Grinding it out, day after day

  1. Lescor trades prop. The amount of capital/equity contribution is irrelevant. When your prop firm is comfortable with you, your BP is rather unlimited.

  2. I know that. And thats why i care about his capital contribution only a little (but its still useful information). I am more interested in the amount of money he put to work - his average working capital.

    ps: actually, Lescor you probably also know the max capital you put to work. Thats very useful also :) if you can provide.

    A few of the best futures traders I know are adapting this way.

    Lescor a few times mentioned he trades Emini ES futures on a few occasions and he did mentioned in his 2011 results that he traded 500 futures contracts. I wonder if he's traded LESS futures contracts in comparison to prior years or if he's adapted similarly or plans to adapt similarly via switching trading hours or trading instruments for those occasional futures trades.

    Lescor, somehow I feel that could be an inappropriate request, but if not, would you mind disclosing profit per year since 2002 and number of shares traded?

  5. I would be very very surprised boba even for someone as sharing as lescor to post what you want. Its just a pain to go back all those years and gather all that information for you; if at all possible.

    If you dont mind a suggestion.. why not use what he has provided over the past 2 years and assume that to be his average - numbers from 10 years ago dont matter that much anyways. Things change.. you know. trading styles; nos of methodologies he trades. volume. etc etc.. specially for someone doing as high a volume as lescor does last two years of data is good enough.

    just my 2cents.

  6. On a lighter note. How is the house construction going? Is it finished yet? Pictures???? Could it be that moving to a new place caused some kind of imbalance, stress, anxiety that reflected itslef in trading?

  9. Lescor is in Canada. unless you mean Canadian IRS agent or whatever they call them up there. He hasn't been feeling well so let the man recover first.

    .


    Even after he recovers, i dont think he would have to show the info the poster requested.

    I think he has shared sooo much with us already.
