hehehahha.... I will think about it... but like you said, I would be hesitant to share my formulas, so it would be a bit difficult to answer some questions about why the ratio changed all of the sudden one day vs. another or why I switched one of the market legs without going into explaining the thoughts behind it, which leads to the formulas then being disclosed... we'll see...
I like to picture myself trading with a collection of really good friends (futures.io (formerly BMT) members) so I don't trade against them, I try and help them as much as possible.
But if you aren't a futures.io (formerly BMT) members, then yes - I am taking your money all day
That's a nice way of looking at it, but I'm not sure my trading system could sustain having 17 903 additional accounts trying to get in front of me... However, If it can, I'd rather have that capital in my fund so I could get some percentages...
That might make me a bad person, but so be it... I try to help where I can in other areas...
hehe, well on any given day only 5,000 login, and of those half say they are sim, and of the rest, maybe we don't trade the same instrument or same time frame or same setups
To truly be a trader, you need to trade real money. But I always suggest that it is more important to learn how to trade than it is to make money. The next trade is always there, whether someone is ready tomorrow or in 5 years.
My input on the possible futures.io (formerly BMT) trading competition is really not that far from you were saying; Yes, trading is already competitive. I've taken someone's money every day for awhile now, and expect to take a lot more. And, also expect to lose money occasionally.
Besides being a trader, I was and still am an entrepreneur and have not had any "guaranteed" income since 1993. Life in general is survival of the fittest, and I actually like it that way, even though my wife would possibly sleep better if I received a salary
But, I guess what I was suggesting is that futures.io (formerly BMT) may not be a place for us to compete as much as a place for us to unite.
hey, you took my money the other day... give it back!! :P ... just kidding... I am sure someone took my money two weeks ago when I got stopped out from being stubborn and trading when my mind wasnt into it due to lack of sleep..
btw, my hat off to you... I need the mental security of a salary from a company... but then again, I am expendable and I have been terminated before... so that goes to tell you that it is all in my head as I have not made the transition you have..
as to futures.io (formerly BMT) being a place to unite... i guess... but here is what I believe... the most successful predators, hunt in packs ... but trading is really a solitary thing unless you find common ground... futures.io (formerly BMT) might facilitate where to find some people with common ground that will be willing to join forces and hunt as a pack... and in that way, it might unite some, but not all...
Limit loss of $300.00 per day may not be realistic for certain markets. Maybe for ES, TF, and other "back & forth" type moving markets, but more volatile / directional markets like GC, 6E, CL, SI etc may require a little more breathing room.
Absolutely, trading is solitary. We all compete as one against the world when we trade in the markets. (Unless you share an acount, like a trading pool.) And, no, the world will never unite.
But, futures.io (formerly BMT) is one of the few places I have seen traders offer so much of their time, expertise, programming skills, customized indicators, techincal knowledge... and not charge for it.
I think it would be fun to have team leaders that trained other traders, and then competed against other trainers and their teams. Just a thought.
I'll probably be there either way; live, sim, team, one-on-one...
