Good to see the site is still going strong. Guys who used to converse with me whats up? Still trading futures? Good to see alot of you still around...it gives me confidence that some people can actually last in this insane market.

 

I left the futures trading last year or maybe more, and now do only (core) position trading in the stock market. I still do a bit of futures maybe 10-30 round turns a month at MOST (YM) but to be honest, I can't make money at it, and I tried for 3 years. I simply gave up, and I got to the point where I kept looking at my financial statements and finally accepted that the losses were growing, and if I didn't do something to stop them, I would be taken out of the market alltogether.

 

Instead at that time (and earlier when I was experimenting in the stocks) I made the switch to the stock market and became profitable...at least so far. I've had to stomach some big swings with this overnight trading, seeing my account move way more than the intra-day trading, but I got used to it.

 

I'm hopeful but not certain that I'll last in the new economy...Let's keep our fingers crossed for you guys too.
