Yes, a lot of traders have made it their own. That has always been my challenge as Judy, Roger, Horst, Danielle among others trade all very differently. As a student 'following' them I have had a hard time making up my mind what is right/wrong and gets confusing watching others. Regardless I learn from both and I have also experimented myself my like you have with the larger stops and holding targets. In the end though, I decided to stick with what I was getting better at as that was my own personality.
Well, a big deal to some who will lose most of their savings. Like a very good friend of mine if he doesn't start paying people. Not to mention all the students that had 'money back guarantees'.
10% per month is not impressive. Isn't that only 2 tics per day? If you have a $5,000 account, trade the EC with 1 contract and make 40 tics in the market, you will make $500. That is a 10% return. In the futures market this is absolutely possible to do in a month. But there are some that average that much each day. To me 40 tics per day is like a 280 yard drive in golf. Most amatuers can't do that, but the pros do it all the time and some average that much. We know it's possible in golf because we can watch it on TV. But in trading, it isn't so easy to witness that kind of success. In some trading chat rooms, you see it. But if you look at the charts and apply a good trading strategy, you can see it. There is no need to look at someone else's P&L to prove it. You can see it in the charts.
