    Wow, all of the legends are here; Dustin, Lescor, Sveven.

    I remember reading your P/L in 2007 and just drooling over those numbers!

  2. In your trading experience, does KISS approach is one of the keys or do you have a system(s) that are so complicated and convoluted that only a few would be able to comprehend?

    Corey,

    You've mentioned in other threads that you are very athletic, ride motocross, train for Ironman, etc.

    Athleticism is a big part of your success, no?

    I'm ALL about simple. To me, the logic and reasoning to explain why you're in a trade should only take a couple sentences.

    I'm a big believer that athletics and training contributes to a lot of desirable qualities. It teaches you discipline, goal setting, how to devise and follow a plan, how to deal with adversity and discomfort. You have to be able to focus intently through distraction.

    I've been athletic and competitive since I was a kid. I can't say that sports directly contributes to p/l but it has definitely shaped me and how I view things and deal with situations.

    This is good :)

    What is your buying power and what daily percentage of it that you use to generate 200-300 % per year?

    Thanks for sharing.

    I trade at a prop firm, my buying power is whatever I need. I frequently have $1M+ in use during the day.
