The NDA thing is pure bullshit. No firm is going to let you POST ANYTHING trading-related on a website if you're bound to an NDA. I had an NDA with Brummer and I couldn't login to ET. The whole FX volume thing was a cautionary tale. She had 2400 characters on telling someone not to be undercapitalized... and you know what? It's 100% her prerogative to post this gibberish. I asked her to explain the utility of FX volume. She left the reservation. Her choice. Anyone with conviction (or knowledgable) would have offered an argument in response. Handle is certifiable. "13 traders" thread. Each get better benefits than Congress. $500K homes complete with CCTV cameras! You're married with a family and you're going to allow your employer to install webcams in your home? Fuck off. Yearly trips to the Caribbean, profit sharing and pensions. Pensions. The guy looks like he shops at a dollar store. Suffers from a genetic condition that causes sterility (from birth) and he talks about all of his kids. I don't care why he's nutso... but I didn't get the info from a P.I. HE posted it HERE. No shrink in history would think that baring your soul on a trading site is best-practice. Harden up.
Couldn't agree more. Plus, she talked so much about also trading NQ. I think the currencies and equity index are vastly different. Not to say a trader can't do both, but still, you gotta do things differently, and I'm not sure if a person can switch gears and be in two different frames of mind so easily. Handle has the best rags to riches story. He even started out as a trucker. Back when there was a thread about the Tesla truck that was unveiled, he had so many stories from his trucking days and appeared to be quite knowledgeable about the trucking industry. Jesus, this guy has a better story than Buffet! I don't think there are enough years in a lifetime to accomplish what he supposedly has.
If that statement was over certain amount of trades,i am likely to consider it valid,there is no control over time,none,zip. To answer your question,more trades and instruments traded less likely to have a good run,The law of diminishing returns. Among important criteria drawdown in general is not something to avoid,rather come out of it within decent period would be an indication that success is achievable. In part the reason why so many backtested methods have trouble in out of sample tests is their near perfect time spend in positive equity.
He's government trained... SOCOM truck driver. Congressional Medal of Honor. 643 verified kills in 'nam. CIA SOG killa. Can you f*cking believe this shit?
What's truly disturbing is all of the overt sympathy ploys... she's in her 20s with cancer. I hope that is not the case, but he's also pulled the "C" card. You would never know if a member of my family was suffering from cancer. This dude is a psychopath. Next thing an asteroid took out his family.
The asteroid didn't take out his family. He went to space and took out the asteroid. They made a movie about it.
