Ahhh.... hope you aren't pulling a "Franz" here. How do we know this isn't just a shot of a demo account at IB?
You sound like Eprado, as I was reading his posts your the person that came to mind how many handels do you have? Boy dont you wish you could trade like that? Can you post a snap shot of your account?
Just a minute... first you are thanking Eprado for getting you to up your size and then you think I am him? Pretty funny. (I am not him). I just thought it strange that you would post that someone you don't even know told you to up your size by 10X and you did. Reminded me of Franz, the wonderful wizard of massive sim-trading size at TI... (well, at least until he got busted)... I don't have anymore than 10 handles here at ET. (Just kidding). And believe it or not, I don't have a clue as to how to post a snap shot in this post. I can put a link to it on another site, but then the whole world could see it. Dont' want that now do WE? I've been watching your thread (as you already know) and the last many days you seemed legitimate. But with the 10X jump in size all of a sudden (maybe part of your trading plan)? it seems I now have to watch you even more closely than before. If your trading is real, then hats off to you. You are doing a great job... If it's not real, then you will be dismembered and disbarred...
Wow that is easy, I like this new handle better, Let me pat myself on the back, Good job myminitrading !
version, I can not be 100% certain, but I am fairly familiar with IB's paper trading account and I believe his trades to be in the real money account. If he was using the paper account you would see part of the diagonal simulator word showing up in his screen. Looking at the paper account in IB right now I do not see any way to hide those words and still show as much screen space as he does, therefore I think his trades are real. myminitrading, Deffinetly pretty impressive, BUT looking at yoru first post in this thread you state you had problems with your emotions while trading and that was one of your downfalls. Be careful not to let posters get you too pumped up by engaging in a pissing contest where you throw caution to the wind and end up blowing up. Keep up the good work
You know what I have discovered, you must be aggressive, being passive when trading is not going to cut it. I keep my money management in place and waited and waited for that trade and then pounced with all I had. I kick some butt when I feel pressured into it. If I am not challenged I just putt along. The minute I abandon my risk management thats when its all over. Keep up the good work
