  1. Hello VOLdemort,

    I am making money in ES futures man. I figured it out and I know the secret.

    I am making money, I do not give a damn what any of you say about me anymore.

    I like you and your other posts, but a word of caution for calling someone out because in this anonymous forum, you really don't know what is real.

    @Monobrowtrading and @VOLdemort called me a lier, an asshole and said I made up fake stories. Do they really know who I am, how successful a trader/investor am I, how big is my AUM? In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter.

    Take care sir.

    True, but for some of us, a huge adjustment. :( :(

    I actually recovered from the 50% losses after using a combination of @volpri and @SteveH, on Monday & Tuesday.

    At the appropriate time, simply let profits ran:

    Monday & Tuesday, the equity market showed significant V moves. I first scalped, accumulated enough cushions, then turned to R:R > 1 caught a few significant moves, removed PT and simply let profits ran.

    That is gambling! o_O

    @volpri, no need to get upset or to defend me.

    All those insults were actually helpful.

    In the past couple of weeks, I modified my approaches, combining what you taught me and what I learned from @SteveH, @Laissez Faire and @Handle123.

    I now have a hybrid system, dance (day trade) around positions I hold. Tested it out for 3 days, so far so good.

    By the way, my bread and butter trades since 2013 were dancing options around my positions to juice up their returns. Now I also day trade around my positions.

    47 days live, only 3 losing days (one big bad loss :banghead:)! Thanks and take care of yourself.

  9. And we're also one risk management relapse away from getting absolutely WRECKED!

    Protect yourself at all times.
