My dad is a CFP/CRPC and I have never heard him utter anything like that. Sounds like you have received bad advice from someone looking to take...
Nice work in theory is as far as you can go right now. You need IMO a MUCH MUCH MUCH larger sample size. And laying 10 lots in the ES is too...
Does anyone actually have any risk management skills on this board anymore? What are you risking for that $400/day with that $50,000? 99% of...
Listen At 280 trading days $400 per day is over $100,000 a year. You should make sure to stick all your $hit in a mutual fund as well...
I am guessing this is actually the start of the next phase of the selloff in the VIX and gains in the market. The last real technical crash in...
I dont know if I would agree with all of that. My dad is a private wealth planner and he is more concerned about wealth preservation and helping...

Mine is too, welcome to the world of non institutional trading. Start it in a Micro FOREX account, best bet. How many lots are you laying...
As I stated previously your assumption on 50/50 is flawed. You think it's 50/50 before Non Farm Payrolls number is released? You are kidding...

I see you have about 100 trades for your sample size. Thats really not that bad, but it depends how you are trading. Like what is your method...
Can you optimize "just like that" in MT4? Thats crazy, I use Sierra personally. Explain what it does when you are optimizing - what is it...
What instrument
Interest in your world, but not so much in reality unfortunately. You do not want drawdowns in excess of 5% MAX. You will have to change...
