    why don't you show live trades with you account which could be thousands or millions floating +- instead of calling tony?

    You can call the guy at the Wedbush number to verify his bona fides. We can do a Skype call with Baron or whomever. Or a 3-way call if you like.

    I can't post to youtube.

    Dude,
    If i am a multi-million dollar trading guy, i wouldn't touch this forum (any forum) even with a pole or spend time to argue with a fish. Either you have a serious ego issue or was bullied your whole lifetime.. take a break and go to your den. I am not here to argue with fake pussies..

    You can't make a call to a direct-line to Wedbush that entails zero risk to you because you want to change the goal post and make it a youtube stream?

    Blocked.

    I trade full time from home, driving to Oregon on I-5, on cruises, in Australia, in Singapore .... I quit, went full time when I no longer needed my day job: No pressure, tradable assets were sufficiently large to not have to worry about putting food on the table.

    My humble suggestion is you need to not worry about putting food on the table with ALL your trading profits, so you can compound some of your gains to mitigate the inevitable drawdowns.

    Good luck and welcome. Hope you will stick around and share your success story a few years from now.

    I am doing full time day and night trading from home.

    Before you quit your job,
    work very very very hard on trading.
    Because once you quit your job, there might be no other alternative.
    I don't think your wife income is your backup unless you really think otherwise.


    Invest in a good reliable computer,
    good charting software, data feed, internet service provider.

    establish your timetable
    (when is tea break, when to exercise, when to trade ....).

    You need to have plan to kill your time.
    trading could be excruciatingly boring.
    you need to have plan on how to pass your time when you are not trading.
    eg watch Netflix program, chit chat in ET forum, mind & body exercise ...
    Do note that at times, market could be untradable for many many hours.

    Why are you so adverse to this idea? I'll post my account statement with the huge loss tomorrow, once it drops into my inbox.

    The point I am getting at is...

    Win or lose, just post the REAL. We don't care if it is uber great, uber bad, or somewhere in the middle. We just want to discuss what you listed in the OP, with a 240% account gain. We just want to see the damned trades, and assure it is all real, and not just your word for it? What is so bloody hard about it?

    In the meanwhile, here's the monthly statement that came down yesterday...

    (The account cash balance has been redacted by one digit, for my privacy, because as a victim of identity theft, I choose to do such things.)

    amp july monthly 2019.JPG

    So the realized profits were about 2000 bux to bring my account to about $7700. But today, I closed the long YM, and lost about $3200.

    So my net for the month is about -$1200

    So I started July with a cash balance of $7700. Now I am down to about $4500.

    Start with 7700, end 3200 lower, you get $4500.

    Why would ANYONE fake their losses? Ergo, why would anyone fake their wins?

    I can post you plenty of winning statements, too, and they would be just as true as the losing ones.

    So post something, win or lose. We will not judge on how good of a trader you are, but we will judge you on your truthfulness. We want to see what happened to get you to 240% growth in 3 months. That's all. And now we want to see if it is SIM or real money.

    I think that is what is being asked. Don't be afraid, sir. Nobody knows who you are. Why the squeamishness about it?

    I left the professional world over 10 years ago to trade full time.

    First, I would examine why your leaving work ? If your trying to escape the office, a jerk boss, coworkers, the commute, or just want independence, get another job or develop some sort of consulting or other self employment in your field.

    Trading is some of the hardest, longest, consuming work you will ever do, it will test your character. It will take you to the dark places that will make your most stressful job seem like a party.

    OK, you cannot stay away from trading, your consumed with it. Proceed with your plan.

    However,
    My wife as a backup income ???
    Is she Ok with this 110% ?
    Your records did not show any real draw down, spouses emotions and support can change on a 3 or more month drawdown. Trading during a drawdown with diminished spousal support can put real stress on trading, and marriage.

    Is she fine living within her jobs income for all her needs and your needs, and WANTS for extended periods of time.
    1% doubt she is not as fired up about trading as you are ?
    Then I would pick up a side job, which should be easy in your field, to ease the drawdown periods.

    Best of luck to you, take your time, plan, trade, trade, trade, study your trades, and talk endless hours with your wife about it.
    Because your safe on the shore studying the river, but once you jump in your in the current.
