Tech/a vs. CanOz - Futures Trading Competition

[CanOz]

Great stuff

But with all due respect its not your $$s.

Hop on tonight with your $$s and sure no problems.
I look forward to an absolute caning!

I reckon that IS his dollars, he said they were having IT trouble...

 

[CanOz]

Here's my account balance....

Got a ZW trade on at the moment, lets hope i get a decent one this time!

 

[tech/a]

I'm negative.
Few hundred Quid.
Every poodle has its day!

 

[CanOz]

Here are some spreads that blew out / failed...Lots of this around this year, i suspect due to the equity market volatility which is driving volatility in the Us Dollar and over to commodities maybe?

We are only 1 month into the 3 month time frame so plenty of time left to turn things around yet.

Can I join in since I've been hobbled today? Largest size was a 4 lot so that would of been about half the allowed capital.

I submit my 45 minutes work,

$1700 AUD up. get back to me when I need to do some more.

This I did over 4 trades, trading 1 contract only.



There... go trade some more

You know what, it's all relative and truth be told with the size im trading it's not THAT bad. That being said it's my worst day since being here for 9 months. Just as I thought I was turning a corner to.

What does "+500 more in bro" mean?

Without knowing what size you are trading.... it's not that bad regardless of size (esp considering that you are trading prop)! Drawdown periods are character building... keep at it.

P.S. Nevermind - $500 more in brokerage.

1. How's your overall performance?
I can't complain, made the move to prop early in April, treaded water/learned the game for the first few months, then took the plunge and struggled initially yet the last couple of months I truly I feel I've had some 'aha' moments and the results have turned around accordingly. It's now time to take the next step and my confidence is sky high. It's nice to know 'I can do this' given the fact that 3 months ago I wasn't sure if I would still be in the game come Xmas

Yeah I know in the grand scheme of things its nothing but I've worked my but off over the past 9 months getting through that initial learning period and watching the desk fees build up etc, late last year I finally got my account back to even (from a long way in the neg the desk fees can build up and Im on a good deal with great guys too) and then I've walked in from a 2 week holiday and got smoked on the open the last few days!

Doesn't phase me Kid, if a mod wants to move it over to the Transition to Futures then its fine too....

By the way, can you go into a little detail in a prop thread about your transition to prop? I'd be keen for that
