FF is absolute waste of time. See you next year. If you don't see me next year, you can believe I am done with trading.
Keep dreaming and enjoy your dunning-krugering. Life is so wonderful !!!

I think that you are wrong stating that FF is an absolute waste of time because I still believe that traders are in FF to help each others. Instead you should say that some FF members exclusively promoting their own garbage or their own warped visions are a waste of time and, unfortunately, there are many of them. In any case, if you stop posting never stop trading because, if you treat trading as a business, it's the best business in the world. This is because you can live very well and you "work" only when you feel like it. I'm looking forward to wish you a happy new year when you come back

Before I leave.....

This is surreal.... Zero was not the bottom! Can I see this again in my life? Whoever bet /CL spread on May/June contracts, they sure have blown their accounts and companies. Markets are becoming more and more unstable and we are seeing more black swans. We need to reduce market exposures. Extended market exposure is a huge risk.

Traders that sold puts on CLK20 WTI last week or before made a killing. I wonder if the CLM20 (June) will also go down the tube when CLK20 expires. In any case All traded CLx contracts until December 2028 went down.

I am waiting my $150 (deposit was $100) IC Market account blows off. I don't need Forex account anymore. It's WCU (World Currency Unit) based trading. I've waited for more than two months but it's still alive.... Is $150 account too big to fail?

Exchange supported spread has much bigger liquidity. In my opinion, spread trading is not a zero sum game as rollover cost is the cost real consumers eager to pay for storage for future deliveries.

I finally ditched MT4, Bookmap and Sierra Chart. Now I use MotiveWave, Thinkorswim and Journalytix only. Data is Rithmic, broker is AMP Futures (I am considering to change it to Advantage Futures if AMP cannot support spread trading properly.)

When you go to trade copy service providers such as zulutrade, myfxbook or mql5, you can see abundant of gamblers with deep DD. Let me show you a random example I picked up from one of those providers. If you see the following picture, you may see he is a quite good trader until it finally hits huge loss in mid 2017: {image} However, when you see the following picture with drawdown overlapped, now you may not agree: {image} Without showing DD in open positions, the equity curve means nothing. Serious money never can allow such huge DD. Be careful...

Looking at the two trading videos convinced me that I'm better off sticking with trading current prices since I know exactly what the real price is when I trade.

Yes, if you know how to bet market directions, that should be the best way to trade. Unfortunately, I have proved I wasn't good at doing that in the past, so I am happy I found spread trading (actually, I even don't call it a 'trading'. It's just some easy collection of arbitrage with only occasional risks such as recent Crude Oil collapse which significantly widened spread). Especially, I like the fact that I don't need to spend much time watching charts now. It gave me some heart trouble recently.
