  2. And yet a 10 lot is your max size? :confused:

    Buddy, don't care about any of the below. Good for you that your resume is long.....are you applying for a job with me or something? :D

  3. very impressive resume!

    could you comment on why you only trade 10 contracts?

  4. :D

    Trading is a hobby for me. What do you consider large size, or is that "proprietary" also?

    How about to add some credibility to your claims, post the size of one of your larger trades, before you take it, so we can see it on the DOM or TAS. Ok?? No rush, just whenever the opportunity presents itself. I betcha you can't do it.

  5. correction--- 10 contracts is max size for me--- I normally trade far less. Trading is a hobby--------- I much prefer raising money for others with verifiable edges and writing. As if you can't tell the writing part from the "surf report".

    surf:D :D :)

  6. Ah ok, now I better know who I am talking with. I thought you were a professional swing trader. Now I see why it's so difficult for you to understand the complexities of intraday swings and how one can capture some of these each day on a consistent basis.

    If I was only doing this as a hobby, I would also probably not have a very concrete understanding of day trading either.

    No worries, there are many ways to participate in the mkts. Glad you have other avenues for income, many do not.

    Best,

    FP

    PS 10 lots is a large position for a hobby trader IMO, when I thought you were a pro I was a little confused. Thanks for clearing that up.

  7. Were you fired of most/all those "positions"?.

    I think I would fire you before hiring you.

  8. I was fired from the first hedge fund--- otherwise, no I was not fired from the others.

  9. what I was trying to get across is I have seen and experienced many things in the market over multiple years first hand.

    What I have NEVER seen is evidence of someone making a decent living trading in the manner you claim you trade-----there has always been a caveat where the money actually comes from or family wealth or subsistence eeking out a living then failing or making money as a vendor.

    Let's make sure I am understanding, ok. You started with 20k, have no other sources of income whatsoever, and now make a decent living purely from trading using Technical Analysis in the manner you described earlier--- riding gyrations--- you consider 10 contracts to be small time, you don't trade with a prop firm therefore only have access to retail leverage.

    is this correct?

    thanks,
