    WIN RATE 70% AND 1:1 R/R - ANYONE EXPERIENCE THIS

    Re: "....Nothing has changed in terms of anything..." Are you constantly solely trading a specific market(s)?...If so, which one(s) ? Markets experience different volatility, volume etc at different times of the year, days of the week, time of the day etc which will effect what condition...

    How much money can you make day trading futures?

    When thinking "how much" can you make per day its important not just to focus on a $ amount. Its more important to know things like: How much risk was taken? What was the drawdown? How many contracts etc ? These metrics will help you get an idea of what is possible for you & "how good" a...

    Risk Reward Myth

    In my opinion statements like "only take trades with minimum Risk:Reward of x " is nonsense. On entering a trade I only know where my "fixed disaster stop" is. The market & exit is dynamic & changes tick by tick. After entering, the "reason" to exit may come at 1 tick or 1000 ticks - the market...

    Do you have a daily, weekly, or monthly goal in profit?

    I do not have, or think its a good idea to set a fixed $$ goal. I see no benefit in stopping trading "just because" you've reached a certain $ goal. The losing days will soon bring that average day down. I believe you'd be better setting a process orientated goal eg. How efficient was my...

    Why do you trade?

    For me.. the "why do I trade" is for the (cliche alert ;-) ) freedom. The freedom to make choices. The freedom to spend the most important commodity of all: Time, as you want with who you want. I've got a few weeks left of a 3mth overseas trip with my son. Being a Trader has given me the freedom...

    Back/forward testing & Expectancy & Profit Factor

    So with 35% win rate I reckon your Expectancy Ratio is around 0.24 ? Profit Factor by itself is meaningless (to me). To evaluate a trader/method/system I particularly look at return & max peak > trough drawdown....What are yours ? In the real world of trading, with a finite amount of time &...

    What's your risk : reward ratio?

    Whilst the following may have the "Gurus" who regurgitate the mantra of say "your risk reward must be 1:3 to be successful" jumping out of their chairs, I will risk their wrath & say this.... I have no idea of my risk / reward before entering a trade. Whilst I will have a stop (really for...

    Any Commodity Traders with Proven Skills?

    I would caution you not to trade Futures / Commodities with $2k (even if somehow allowed to & if that's all you have as risk capital). But in answer to your Q....Yes - your liability if trading Futures is not limited by your account size - It is unlimited liability.
