Half way through life and not close to being consistent

  1. Oh, this was mine, I suck more than you in August :eek:

    You know we have to be careful not to change too much because we are loosing some money. No trading program will be 100%. Last year I lossed money most months but still managed a 79% profit. I guess this helps me keep the faith. I have made considerable profit winning only 30% of my trades at times.

    I see that you said you trade 135 different pairs? or do you mean you have 135 positions open? What do you trade exactly (meaning what market(s)).

  2. In the upper left hand corner, it states this is a daily chart. Do you day trade or swing trade this security.

  7. 50 k seems high. I would charge $ 0 up front. However, once profitable, he would have to pay me $ 6k from the profits and also post on ET that I was the one that made him a profitable trader.

  8. Thanks for the offer but I'll pass for now. My IRA didn't have a losing month this year either, if I remember correctly it just had 1 losing month last year. All I'm doing there is selling puts. Needless to say it doesn't really generate the return I'm looking for without taking some serious risk which will back fire in a down market.

  10. In a down market, wouldn't you just sell calls?
