LOL! Oh Beau, are you truly a ho(beau)? You're sitting in your Daddy's house trading his retirement fund, arrogantly shyting on me? In the meantime, I am a married man with a full-time job and a baby on the way. I have only small amounts of time to spend backtesting and designing fancy trading algorithms because I have a family and bills to pay. Beau, you truly are a little prick! You should be ashamed of yourself for presenting yourself in such an arrogant and condescending manner.
And when I was married, I traded his entire account, divorce, and now at home is no different than what I was doing. I have better models, and anyone that doesn't spend 5 years tweaking just to start making thousands of dollars when there are signals is dilluded! That's what every trader wants! This is the lifestyle I always wanted, and I can opin my opinion if I want, but if you doubt what I'm doing you should know my model was in the top 3 MTD on Covestor.
You mean you lost two thirds of his money, leaving you with the final one third that you are trading now?
Wrong! There is a huge benefit to trading small amounts of money before you have developed the perfect model. Your model is only one part of the problem. Your psychology is the other part of becoming a successful trader. I am risking small amounts of real money right now, losing almost nothing, and learning a whole hell of a lot.
Breau, that's awesome, but a bit off-base. Unfortunately it's in Danville KY. The Capital of methlabs and inbreeding. I was thinking of relocating to Danville, but apparently I am not welcome there, as my parents aren't blood relations.

However, there is one joke about Kentucky and inbreeding that's funny because it's true: The story of the Blue Fugates of Troublesome Creek. The Fugates were an extended family living in an isolated hollow in Eastern Kentucky ominously named Troublesome Creek. Most members of the family had "hereditary methemoglobinemia." This is an enzyme deficiency that causes a person's blood to run vein blue as opposed to arterial red. Instead of being pink, these people are tinted blue or purple. The condition is based on a recessive gene; the only way to acquire it is if both your parents pass down the love. So what were the odds of clan founder Martin Fugate taking another methemoglobinemia carrier as his wife? He did, and they settled in Troublesome Creek sometime in the mid 19th Century. Cousins marrying cousins was commonplace among isolated Appalachians, so by the time a doctor discovered the Fugates in the 1960s, there were several blue people living in the hills around Hazard. Go BLEAU!
The grammar horror.... the horror. The difference between your C2 fiction and the following is that this represents my IB account unrealized for the week:
Well, as far as that goes bankrupting an options trading desk probably means 7 figures, and I didn't expect anything less from you, atticus.
No, he didn't like lagging performance, and took it to an idiot, but now we have triple leveraged instruments and I can trade all of his account with a third and leave the rest in fixed income.
