375 USD over a single week.
To the majority of you, this is trivial or perhaps minuscule.
One single micro contract is all it takes to reap it.
187.5 handles in one swing
47 handles 4 times inside the week
94 hands on two setups
37.5 handles per day 5 times over the week.
Which of these is easier for you at your present skillset?
If you spent your time focusing on making or saving 5k then trading a single micro contract, you probably would do better than spending all the money you do in lottery eval purchases.
Aim for 7.5% week - that's only 75 USD per day net or 375 USD per week... one Micro.
This grows to 214k in a single year. That's not good enough?
I see all of you and your efforts.
I am proud of all of you and I am just as excited to see you get there as I am with those taking their first million from trading.
Proud Papa indeed!
The market is the easiest thing to participate in.
It can be traded with simple decision making processes, many of which have no real correlation to why any market will rise or fall.
Or one can exercise diligence and statistical probabilities with historical evidence that there is nothing random in the delivery of price.
Sure, any country bumpkin can buy a lottery ticket and hit a windfall jackpot, but those odds are so low and I don't subscribe to the poor man's 401k of lottery mindset. This is what 'tik tok' Traders expect.
Those who want to unlock the mysteries of the market, won't expect simple or infantile perspectives of trading.
I abhor the likes of those who sheepishly state that my work is complicating trading. When there is nothing as precise or consistent and you can place whomever or whatever you like against it... it will pale in comparison.
When I read or hear people say things like that... I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are lazy, undisciplined, entitled and frankly unworthy of it.
In an age where 30 second tik tok clips cause brain rot and stoke the embers of impatience... many assume precision in the hands of those who forged their craft, over time and patience, can be acquired in tik tok level learning.
No... it will require you to defer your wants and desires of being a Market Wizard overnight to impress people you don't know... and those facts divide the can't do from those who can do.
Choose this day which you are.
As a note to some in this community...
Since learning I am a Grand-Father, come February, I no longer want to be the guy that likes to blur the lines.
I realized my Grandchildren would see me eventually and I'd hate to be an influence on them and make them want to be the vulgar form I used for marketing and entertainment.
My time is limited to what matters and who matters.
If you want attention, build your name on your own steam and value.
None of you can afford the rent to take up space in my mind... so don't bother.
Be ready for University level education on the 15th.
I don't care what the rest are doing... as it is none of my business.
Talk soon.
