Hey RCJ...you took your account from arround $500 to $13,000 trading 1 YM contract?...am I understanding that correcty?...please confirm or clarify...if yes, that is totally amazing...what exactly was you beginning amount?
Hey, Increase ... I'll keep anywhere from 26K to appprox 33K in the acct. I could trade a lot more cars but i dont want the risk right now. About 20% of the time i may swing 1 car and scalp a second one - in the same direction, of course. Here are some stats: <img src=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=2024288>
RCJ...questions... Q1-but you've actually made $13,000 trading 1 or 2 contracts correct? Q2-may I ask, is trading the YM your full time $$$ "job" or "situation" or just "on the side" ...either way...making $13,000 trading the YM is great...thanks for the reply...best trading to you...!
My fiscal yr will be over the end of sept. Sure hope i dont mess up. Im thinking of drawing my acct down to approx 20k soon b/c i doubt i will be doing any more daytrading in stks. Ans to your questions; Q1. Yes, that is correct. Looking back, i would never have thought. Q2. I do have other activities for which im paid $$. But most days allow for at least 3 hrs of market/trading time if i wish-often a lot more. Im very blessed. BTW all the numbers include commish but not taxes...
