  2. Of course I know what the concept of leverage is, but not at a technical level of detail. I'm here to trade and understand and process the market my way. I'm not a textbook of data or a software engineer.

    You don't need to be a brainiac to make a million in the market...you just have to think slightly differently, creatively, independently from your own vantage point perspective to see and sense the greater wider picture

    To return 20 fold on 50k, paint the broad strokes of the approach including money management

  4. Well, I'm not going to outline my trade process mindset blueprint methodology recipe in exact detail...if that's what you're asking and expecting.

    But in regards to the basic math of growth and compounding
    2000
    5000
    10000
    20000
    50000
    100000
    200000
    500000
    1000000

    Or some Variation thereof. By doubling your account in each trade. And these aren't fantasy scenarios. It's possible with short term options if a trader can nail those market daily chart moves. Less than 10 trades...a million

    Exact detail???

    You have zero detail

    100 percent to the 9th power is not detail

    1 mil in a month on 2000 dollars???

  7. All I'm saying is magical things can happen if a trader understands the market. Great things. If you want to laugh....then laugh.:)

    How much would you pay if I told you everyday when to buy and sell to capture the big move of the day on the market S&P ...amplified with leverage options....isn't that the dream of every major fund on Wall Street..
