{quote} gonna look at commodities during frankfurt..can't keep trading at work..people be getting suspicious when you say "hold on..gotta make a call"...
Gotta take this 4 figure call real quick. BRB.

You should check out Sunday gap trade at 6pm est too. You can find some money there and it's not like forex where there is a huge spread at the open that you have to worry about.

i think i'm gonna try ES

i think i can do 15-20 ticks/day.. because it has pretty low margin with decent tick spec of 12.5, i can put in decent size behind it

i THINK i can pull off $2000/day on this one...

every futures trader has to have their hand in ES at least at one point in their trading career...i figure i join that legacy starting in november..

gave back 50% of profits i earned from NQ,RTY, combined!

fuck ES! go burn alive you stupid bastard! problem with ES is that most days it's pretty narrow, i get in wrong 1-2 times, i'm fucked. unlike other markets where the big range gives me ample room to recover. i need like sub 100-150 ticks

kind of enjoyed my time with RTY. putting in 20 cars making 4-5k /day last few times was beautiful .but just can't do it during the day anymore with all the work meetings and shit.

job or trading?..maybe secretly quit my job so my wife won't know...

hmm..currency futures perhaps..ugh..just brings back bad memories with fx lol

or offshore fx with +200 leverage. been looking at finpro. ..

need time to think while i lick my wounds a bit....

bro- don't know what your situation is like, but if I could pull an avg of $1k net per day or $5k net per week, I'd be done with my job for sure. That would give me $1500 to put up for taxes, $1000 into savings for rainy day fund, $500 back into the capital, and $2000 to live on. I'm the sole breadwinner in my family and got bills, the mortgage, the wife, the kids, sports, and all of the BS keeping up with the Jones if you know what I mean. I'd be out of a job in a heartbeat though if I did that consistently.

The key would be low risk. $100k account would only take 1% per day. $50k account like you have is 2% per day. I think those could be attainable making low risk trades using no more than 1% risk per trade.

Again, i don't know what your situation is, but you swing for the fences every damn time .... Homeruns aren't needed. Get some base hits too. You got the skills. You got the capital needed. You could make it happen.

you outlined a nice plan.
feel a little sorry for you that keeping up with the Jones cost that much, maybe giving up on some part of that and wouldnt need to pull in 5k/week or 20k a month to have a life trading?
did you realise that on 100k to make that 5k a week would mean 20% monthly returns? viable? isnt that a homerun, that arent needed you said?
for such needs 100k wont do!
is that a good plan to risk 1%/trade and limit the day to 2% a day loss?
how much room it leaves for errors? ( mind you the 2% a day loss is decent target, just how will it stand up with 1% risk, another question).

just few thoughts, there is no right or wrong here, of course.
agree, Hilmy got the capital, and the skills.
he havent got the patience and probably making too much salary to see 1k gain for what it is, or fear 10k loss as he should. would think 500$ a day isnt thrilling enough. freedom from work and schedule and meeting wouldnt worth to give up 5k a month, and along some habits.
Vegas, without the hassle to travel there.
all is good. we all judge our situation differently.
want the fun, get the fun, and still ahead of the game, though less than before.
Hilmy is an inspiration; and wish him to find his to get back to the right track!
there is always, always another trade!!

you're right man..

part of it is just the thrill of making thousands a day..like i still can taste those days...

but you're right i can't do that anymore. my account is 1/4th of when it used to be in those crazy +200k days..need to protect the profits i make..and stop being so reckless.

problem is i think in dollars, not percentages. this is why you won't see me cry out look i made 1%, 5% or 50% ...it's all about $$$ to me..and over the years..you just get used to the numbers. First it was hundreds..now thousands. Need to have the appreciation of the value of the dollar i guess. i've gone to far in this crazy gambling mentality. Used to be that i feel bit pain when losing hundreds, that would make me stop trading..now it'll take about 10k losses to actually feel the pain before i pull the plug. This means i've gone too far off the ledge and need to recalibrate my pain senses. think about what 1k can get you.

You have the experience and I'm sure you are right, but that was my idea in regards what it would take for me. Yes, I have positioned myself past the point of no return right now in suburbia hell life and it takes alot of overhead to run the family lol.

The numbers and results could be tweaked for sure.

as said no right or wrong.
in my language there is a nice proverb:
"only stretch as long as your blanket is"...(roughly translated)
to apply to you: you have created a lifestyle, for what it is hard to tailor the profits. much easier to the the other way around, and expand on the things, as you grow.
i am in the "lucky" situation that i dont have to have my whole former job salary to get by on trading income. ( a different story that it actually seem to make more, considerable more, in the moment, but it want the case when i took my chance in the summer and jumped into the relative unknown).
of course i would love 20k a month income, but my family can live OK on a fraction of that, and in the moment i just manage somehow without a private helicopter ride to tesco for the groceries!
there is always, always another trade!!

just to be clear, i make nowhere near $20k per month on the job, but to leave it all behind and run a trading business, I would want $20k per month to be able to set aside business savings for the down times, money to reinvest back into the capital, money for the large tax bracket for self-employed individuals, and then money for health insurance and living expenses.

Of course, if I left the city and moved to a farm or large piece of land, I'm sure living expenses and costs would be cheaper.

I've yet to take a helicopter for grocery shopping

Sup Hilmy,

Your doing great, and I know you'll do just fine moving forward..I don't know how much you make in whatever profession you are.. but think about it.. if you buckled in the drivers seat, and took it seriously and did 5k/week .. Not a day like your going for ya nut.... how much would you need?

Aim for consistancy first, before you make any sudden decisions.. when you prove you can do it consistently with a method.. then your ready.

20k a month pays the bills, and then some.. Fuck, even pays a lease on a lambo with wrapped in graphics with chart patterns and penises if you wanted.

Think about it!

lol
lowest draw down possible please.
