When I started trading full time , I was in a good position. I began with a 25k account, but luckily for me I also started during the start of the great reccesion. Where every day was pretty much a trending day with large movements. So for 3/4 years it was easy to build your account quicklly. Thinking that you are going to make a living trading a 1k account, I've never pushed that, its foolish. But you can grow and build a 1k account to try a reach a place where you can think of trading full time(not easy).

Risk/reward if you read the thread you know I place S/L's but do not place TP's most of the time. I do that for 2 reasons. One so if you get a strong trend you can pick up as much as possible. Second so that if trade stalls I'll take what profit I have and get out.

I don't believe in trailing stops and don't use them.

Hey Rocky,

Would you mind sharing what your average monthly/yearly return has been since you made the jump to full time trading? It would be nice to hear an honest answer from someone that isn't trying to sell something and that's been doing this for a long time. I think it will give people something to strive towards and sort of set a benchmark of something realistic to achieve

You can see the entries and SL by the little side arrows. Probably have to click on the photos to zoom out

Knowing what someone else achives in terms of trading profits will tell you nothing useful. Trading is an individual sport. I may be a +4 golfer after 8 years of practice and playing. You may be able to become a scratch golfer in half the time or you may never break 100 after many, many years. Trading is the same. Rocky's results will tell you nothing as to what you may achieve. Trading is an individual sport. It is skill, and more importantly it is emotional and mental discipline. It is up to you.

Xiqat, apart from the fact mentioned by patricc - news - there was market structure as marked, to be followed. At the same time all according to Rocky system was in place. Suggestion - study market structure - here on FF is a specialized thread, observe the news and time of the day.

I'm well aware that results will vastly differ per person depending on skill, risk tolerance, experience, etc. I've just never seen or heard someone give a monthly/yearly percentage return on their account that wasn't trying to sell something (and also provided no proof of the returns). The benchmark is around 10-20% if you look at big fund managers, but also have to take into consideration that they are trading million and billion dollar accounts, so they don't exactly have the luxury of being able to get in and out of trades as quickly as we individual traders. It would just be nice to hear from someone with 15 years of doing this full time and no agenda.

Ok as far as trading full time for a living do not try it with a small account. Can you take a smaller account and work to build it up to a point where you can take a shot yes you can, but it takes disicipline and patience.

Say you have a 5k account and you need to make 3k per month to cover taxes and pay bills that means making a minimum of 60% a month not going to happen. But shooting for 5%n a month in 5yrs. takes you to 52k approx. from there maybe you have a shot. This business ain't easy.

I'm lucky in 2 respects. 1) I have a good sized account and don't risk more than 1% on a trade. 2) I can live fine without trading which
psychologically relieves a lot of pressure.

Two additional things.

1) I have nothing to sell or gain from this thread.
2) The trading I show here is only about 40% of what I do. I do a lot of options trading also.

RP, perhaps when you can, please show us how you trade options (here or in a new thread). I would expect your options trades are just as successful as these futures trades; with the approach probably a little bit more complicated due to characteristics associated with options. Nice to learn that from your experience. Thanks.

Calaxcorp, I'm not going to get into options trading here, its a whole new world. I took about $10k of classes learning about them and how to trade them, plus read at least a couple dozen books. Options are the reason I stay with TOS because of the tools available.

That's fine, RP; I respect that. I was just curious if the main theme of your option trades were selling premium (time decay and volatility crush from credit spreads) or directional trades. If directional, whether they key off the trading approach similar to your intraday futures trades shown in this thread, or if they are swing trades with a different approach or even longer term. That's all. Thanks and have a great trading week.

The benchmark S&P 500 is ~15% so those fund managers aren't doing so great.

Most retail traders get obliterated.
