{quote} ugh, he's offering courses. seriously, if you make 10-20k/month, why bother teaching. i understand it's extra money, but it's also extra time to answer questions/mentor and all that bullshit managing other people's money it's understandable, but TEACHING? ....

he's been pretty inactive really. maybe he retired?

at 500 contracts, he must be a cme member, if not, what a waste of money

I wonder if Divergence will be a member. keep upping the contracts you'll see the savings. exchange fee will go from $1.18/contract/side to 0.35/contract/side. i'm still working my way up to that. hoping for next year i'll apply. It will really saves you thousands after some size.

Weren't you the long at 67.50 at 10:01? That should have been the full monty, no? Also the sell at 10:20. I thought you had that one for sure too.

Based on the time stamp, it looks like you were posting when the sell triggered.

{quote} your stop and tp are fixed for all trades? 1:2? what your tick size in stop/tp? you still keeping just 8k as account size? 6 contracts in this current market, 2 days can make average month's salary.
will leave 11000 dollars for a buffer though only 9000 is needed

I am pretty sure he had a seat with some prime broker with bank guarantee to make million+ trading session. Even though he is inactive now, there are ton of recordings from him doing live trading. huge titanium balls to scale in and out 50 contracts via market orders.... like flipping boogers lol
I guess, one has to become immune to money to make more money :-

FaceBook earnings as well as some others after the bell this evening. Last time FB reported it dropped the market like a rock. I think it has the price movement all screwed up today. I have yet to take a trade. Every time something sets up, it takes off the opposite direction and then I have to wait for another set up. Today is patience training day. LOL!

I could not trade at all today due to some idiot on my team messing up at work! Looking at the range, she is nicely oscillating between the two major 00 lines since yesterday.... that's a 400 tick range to exploit :-

full session done. 9 trades (5w/3l/1be). It's quite difficult today as price just hugging the pivot pretty much. No breakout opportunities (my favorites).
