    Resident Siberian psychologist was one of the people who showed you live performance record upon request and without hesitation... But you behave like it never happened and keep repeating "impossible"... mantra as you like to call it. :D

    What % ROI per year would you consider as a "possible" to live "good lifestyle" from? Tell me the figure.

  3. He doesn't really want proof. He wants to stick to his preconceived notions of what is or isn't possible. Notice how he keeps avoiding you when you mention this or the TA trader who did well in the combine (AustinP) :D

    Oh no, don't tell me you use stop-losses? Didn't you know they are for the weak hands only, especially 6-12 tick stop-losses? :D

    Why the need for OPM when markets provide enough leverage to hang oneself...

    You really do overcomplicate what is essentially buy, sell & no position.

  7. Yes, I was a weak hand in the Apple trade--that's why I used stop losses-- folks that test mechanical systems say over and over again that stop losses degrade system performance-- why do you think this is? surf

    Surf, I am from the family of university professors. Ask your wife how much money do university professors have on average in Russia? Wanted to put in a smiley, but suddenly felt sad cause it's really sad how much they make compared to university professors in the US.

    P. S. No it wasn't local pizza shop, but neither it was an oil well (if it was I maybe wouldn't start trading at all, because trading attracted me by it's potential scalability as the #1 reason).

  9. You can't spend leverage. Not to mention, it cuts both ways-- yeah, take a huge risk with huge leverage---- you may get lucky, then again you may not.

    Because you need to constantly be depleting your account for living expenses, unless you live like a hermit, of course. which many may, I have no clue. surf

    Massive amount? An experienced price action day trader who trades only one or two setups can average a steady $400/day using no more leverage than a $10K account allows. Do you not consider that a "living"?
