Hi! Please stay friendly :-) You're correct that leverage itself doesnt equals risk. However leverage amplifies risk. Leverage ≠ risk Leverage × poor risk management = high risk Leverage × proper risk management = efficiency

You do understand that I was only referring to your original statement where you said you had an 85% win rate? You didn't provide any context for the fact that you use different trading styles that may have different metrics. You also didn't mention ...

Just to be clear, the FundingTicks leaderboard shows you have a win rate of 56.2% with an AVR.WIN of $465.76 and an AVR.LOSS of $382.39, which represents a positive risk:reward ratio of 1:1.22. A completely different story than your stated 85% and ...

Ah, you meant job/career idea. I thought it would help me with sports betting/trading. I just read that they charge at least £2 million. Unfortunately, I don't have that under my bed right now :-) Break. Yes, you're right. I'm starting to think I ...

I don’t understand what your problem is? You act like a 12 years old child rather than a grown up man (doing this for a living). 1.) I do have mental health problems (just like approx. 90% of the people here and other humans on planet earth 2.) I ...

You mean all the meaningless charts posted after the fact only showing the winning side of things with no explanations of what has been done or even risked? I know the title of the thread. I didn’t want to interrupt but it’s my inner BS detector ...

I didn’t say anything about Props or if/how people are making money them them. It’s great if you have spreadsheets. My comment was simply directed at Monty's claim of an 85% win rate with $300 risk and $200 reward. I would be very happy with that. ...

Can you give me the link to this leaderboard? It's not about what I believe or that you have to prove something to me, but if you're going to throw around numbers like that, you should be able to back them up or just keep quiet. Otherwise, it ...

Yep. Sounds all good in theory ;-)

Momentum can work for and against you and you never know when there will be momentum or not. It doesn’t mean one thing. An 85% win rate with a $300:$200 risk:reward ratio, over what time and number of orders? Could you do me a favor and record a ...

Hi. Thank you for your comment, and respect if you've managed to find your way. A house by the lake—I could like that too. "Complaining yourself. That's a dangerous limit." I wouldn't say I'm complaining. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'm looking for ...

I can't quite follow this logic, but if it works for you, great. No, I'm not "up to date" with all these prop companies, and especially not with future prop companies. I also see this as a way to achieve higher trading profits than it might take ...

Hey Dave! Good to have you here. I actually wanted to PM you and let you know how things are going. Will do so, this weekend. Trading vs Gambling (from AI) „Trading, at its core, is a systemic and strategic skill based on analysis, research, and ...

I agree with you that it is brutally difficult. On the other hand, what kind of self-employment is a sure-fire success? Most people fail, even if the failure rates are perhaps not quite as drastic as for retail/home traders who want to make a living ...

Yes. It probably depends on the area in the US. I have friends in San Diego and Boston, and as far as I know, you can't get much property for $100k there either. Yes, it's damn expensive to live here. Not just housing, but all other living expenses ...

It's also a shame to be rude and offer help at the same time. If you're so good at trading and can make a living from it, what are you actually doing here? Post a broker statement proving that you've had a stable minimum income from trading for the ...

I'm glad you know me so well. By the way, the definition of a troll is someone who trolls people in internet forums by getting personal instead of using factual arguments. So, if I were you, I'd take a look in the mirror before judging me.

Good point, and I agree with you. I don't know where you are in your life, but I'm at a point where I simply don't have the time or energy to work toward something for years, since I've already been doing exactly that for years. I should have earned ...
