lol. We don't know how many of these "accounts" are actually sim accounts. Alot of "trading" is nothing more than gambling.
this is why ET is stupid people say shit without providing any factual information to back up their stupid opinion. what i said was it is the same in liquid equities like skf and xlf SURE you will pay a lot more in commissions but honestly prove me wrong please.
but u still didnt answer or disprove the accusation.Do u actually have a trading acct.I figure at least 50% of posters here are fake.Whenever i ask a fake to post a screenshot of his trades guess what?They never have.
disprove of what accusation i simply don't agree with the statement he made simply because it is pure opinion, if he provided me with an example or facts then i'd believe, I have a trading account with real money and it is small by ET standards < $10k, i don't trade full time, i go to school, i swing trade mostly enless i'm home then i take intraday positions. AND I F*ing hate when someone says its easy to trade with small amounts of money like i have less than 10k because frankly it took me a while and alot of lost money to get to where i am.
Depends on the time period. Intraday it can be difficult not to move the market to much with big trades but if your a swing trade you can build large positions pretty easy. getting out in a hurry can be a problem though. the bigger the account the more you have to consider is the main point. but the smaller the account the less room you have for error.
$1m in one day, thats a nice way to get peoples attention. tell us what is his compound annual return and sharpe ratio with that strategy. anyone could have a nice day by taking a $10m account and selling puts on ES tomorrow. as a long VIX comes back to earth, you clean up. then you post your blotter on ET and get treated as a king. not saying this guy is not a great trader, he might very well be. yet its not like this thread means much
