    A,the guys with their eyebrows raised have been around the block,either on derivatives desks,hedgefunds,trading pits or all of the above..

    You start a thread stating outstanding returns,but claim to work at a hedge fund which is strike 1...Ive worked at a major hedge fund,and I would not be posting my returns on Elite trader asking how others are doing..Thats really odd..

    You are happy to post your returns,but wont post AUM or cant even state what you are trading...

    You seem to take offense to me suggesting you are trading a very small account at a hedge fund...Its clear you are pretty new to this,and I do commend you on the returns generated real or not...

    Last but not least,know your audience a it better

    You've seen dozens of these guys. They crush it for a few months. Think they have it figured out and then blow up and are never heard from again.

    To paraphrase Alec Baldwin in Glen Gary Glen Ross
    And you know what you’ll be saying? Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar. “Oh yeah, I used to be a trader. It’s a tough racket.”

    I'd figure I would respond to this because it shows your naiveté.
    Almost any strategy works well for 4 months. Very few strategies work consistently for 10 years. And virtually none have no losing months over 10 years.

    The "old timers" in this thread and on this board consider 5 figure daily pnl swings rounding errors. Why is that? Because they've been reasonably consistently profitable for a long period of time over several market conditions. Only after you do that, can you say you are really profitable. If you are intellectually honest you will know that is a lie because you can still be ended any day.

    LOL i have a super trend indicator on my charts. :D:DLOL
    IT lS hard to beat that principle , make 20%one month , lose20%.
    I dont think there is any such thing as luck=small sample maybe. Sorry WMT stopped selling+ buying whole wheat bagels.
    I guessed he did not want to put JAN% in public+ major trend change for SPY.......
    Same JAN here, except i'm glad to turn any kind of profit in JAN, many trend followers including me have lost a lot in past, major trend change.
    Believe it or not i got 2 free lotto tickets from an auto dealer. Would you believe it if i told you i won nothing off those 2 tickets , lotto,a stupid tax on people that cant do math??:D:D
