  4. guys, i think increase needs first to realize where he is in his trading before taking any advise.

    Inc, you think this is easy. Its not. You need to understand that. You need to understand that jumping around methodologies and different contracts is not the way to trade.

    Sit back and take a hard look at yourself.

    Find a setup that you feel comfortable with and then focus on a contract. The setup itself will not be enough. You need to understand how that contract acts each day. You need to understand what affects it. It is not the setup which is key. It is the understanding of the asset you are trading and the filters you will apply. That is: eg. on X day there is this important news event so I will not trade close to the time of release. OR this contract has X amount of noise in it so if I want to trade it I need to move to X min timeframe. Am I comfortable with the timeframe? Am I comfortable with the max loss? What is my max loss? What are my profit targets, etc, etc, etc

    Good luck with the "real" trading with "real" money with "real" focus that is going to lead to "real" results

    I just hope you "real" ize that you will never make it as a profitable trader

    For "real"

    Profitable traders have learned to remove the words "hope" and "never" from their belief system.

  7. did you read the link from 2 yrs ago on the last page?? He is just playing a game with everyone, not exactly sure what kind of guy gets his jollies this way but apparently this guy does.

    Notice he says he totally agrees that he needs to focus on 1 contract and that was over 2 yrs ago. Today he plays the same game where he says he will and then does the opposite. He's a faker, plain and simple

  9. Seriously man, how is this a journey when all you do is post "I made X points" ? Its a journey if regardless of outcome, people discuss the trade with you and you and others grow together...
