oh its real. make sure the emotion is controls

 

1 thing about many people do not understand is, do not open an account $5K in order to trade futures. $100K is the minimum to open a futures account.

 

Many people do not realize the risk involves trading in the futures market.

if the fund managers are trading million dollar margins, why would a small traders trade with only $5000 in the account?

 

i would never trade any futures markets with less than $100K

so if it didnt rebound would you just keep averaging and averaging?

 

it will rebound. that is the nature. i first started trading in the futures and stock markets in 1981. In 1983, was the worst ever i experienced. I lost more than $300K all because i didnt believe the market rebound on a single day. i almost did that again in 1987 stock marke crashed. those lesson taught me the market will rebound, but at a great cost/loss

i guess why did you decide to go for +30 now as opposed to the +1's you have been taking?

 

because the market dropped so fast, it is not wise to go after 1pt based on the extreme extreme volitlity. when this happen, i decide to place my stop at breakeven and let it right up. my goal was to have the market hits my breakeven, however, it jumped 10pts past my breakeven less than a min, and i decide to keep my stop at breakeven.

-83 pts at one point?

 

83 ES pts?

 

If it is real, then you got some serious confidence to hang on like that.

 

Probably easier to just post your blotter/statement so we can see how that trade looked.

Mr Brownfan, i have never seen u post any trades. why dont u post trades instead of stating your opinions?

 

The way i look at u now, u probably a teenager or a very young adult living in your parent basement critizing other traders trade, but never post live trade.

 

dont hide and post live trade

    • The best and the most sure-fire way to avoid all these forms of nonsense is NEVER to send any money to anyone, no matter the circumstances they claim... Even your closest family members.   Whatever they claim will happen to them, let it happen.   There is nothing new under the sun...   You need to be extremely cruel.... Never send anything of value to anybody, no matter what they claim, even if they claim death.   If you can follow this GOLDEN RULE, you will avoid a lot of regrets, heartaches and disappointments from all areas.   I send money only to people I have promised before.... Or someone I am seeing face-to-face... Or someone I have confirmed beyond reasonable doubts from external/independent sources that they really need the money.   Otherwise, nobody under this heaven can come out of blue (unless my parents or wife), even my siblings and request money.   Over 90% of requests for financial assistance and are fraudulent.   After all, if you die today... The scammers (even in the family) will continue to live without you.   Those who are merciful, kind-hearted and soft-hearted are the easy preys and targets of these scoundrels - 419 scammers.   They like gullible people and hate tough/cruel people.   Do not allow anyone to cause you to feel guilty for what you don’t do… Those dubious people want to make you feel guilty for not helping. But you don’t need to feel guilty as long as you’re not the cause of their problems or the issues they have.   It is better to lose customers/friends/family members/anyone's goodwill and keep your money, than to lose their goodwill and also lose your money.   Because that is what will happen at last... I have lost count of how many people that are currently regretting giving out loans, just because they want to retain goodwill.   When you're trying to please people, you end up displeasing yourself... And you will discover that those who are encouraging you to be kind and generous are themselves wicked and stingy.   Esin o dede l’oro... Araye lo ko esin loro. (It's humans being that taught the horse how to be cruel).   The best way to avoid falling for scam is NEVER to send anything of value to anyone, no matter who the person is to you or how they relate to you on this planet...   And never try to get anything for free or reap where you don't sow and never try to get rich quickly.   Follow this: You will escape/avoid all scams, lies, pretenses, fakeries, headaches, sorrow, regrets, high BP, later in your life.   Ignore this rule at your own PERIL.   Have a nice day. PS: And scammers will be using AI also for impersonations, phishing attempts and deepfake tricks. Just delay indefinitely and make independent calls, research and investigation before you part with anything of value. If you can't go through the rigors, just ignore the deals. I hope the Western World will soon pass legislation to regulate AI and deal with those who use it for evil.  To get free, winning trading signals, please visit: https://t.me/predictmag
