    I'll load $500-$600K since we're now talking percentage returns. All we need to do now is talk stakes.

    It's a sizable investment in time for both parties... so let's try and make it worthwhile. $5K? More? I am not trying to scare you off... you decide the stakes.

    You don't have PMs so I have set-up a Discord Nitro server. "dest's challenge server" and here is the link: https://discord.gg/eMPahZ

    Best percentage return for three months.

    Literally I am good up to your net liq ($36,000) on the wager stakes. If you want odds on %-return then let's hear it.

    I believe I did half that with single micro-lot futures this week. Scale it up to two and we have matched. Scale it up to 3 piker lots and I have done better, with less stress?

    Only reason I am chiming in here is because of that bombastic crap in your OP. It literally smelled like click-bait. And it worked!

  6. You should move up to the minis where the real men live. I trade NQ, 2 lots and do very well. I trade via Tradovate where I get free commissions. I'm curious. Do you post on EVERY thread? Geez!

    Looks like you are trading NQ options, not the NQ?

    I see NQ options, and Micro NQ futures in here...

    Or do I just not understand options and/or your screen to know what you are doing?

    And no, I do not post on every thread, to answer that silly question.

    I used to trade the NQ, but then I lost my testicles in a few major corrections. Now I am getting back into the swing of things with the micros, because the swings are rather heady. How you doing?

    Yer getting personal attention from Des. You should avail yourself of it.

    Sorry, Dude. Early in the Zoom you were like on top of the webcam. I believe that you're 50. Your (earlier) proximity to the webcam and beard threw me off.

    Are you kids named Walker and Texas Ranger, perchance?

    Correction, I see ES options in there, and Micro NQ futures. That condor in ES counts for a mini trade, yes?
