Nobody cares about your screenshots of one of the best historic months we had and you got lucky. Show me a trading strategy. Show me consistent profits. Show me risk management. Show me backtests and years of success. Otherwise Adios



Interesting take. I come from an immigrant family that moved here from a war torn country to start a new life. My parents came here with nothing and truly lived the American dream, working their asses off to build a better future for their children. I started washing dishing at my parent's restaurant when I was in 3rd grade and had to work every week until I graduated high school. While other kids enjoyed birthday parties or weekend activities, I started work at 1pm vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the parking lot, restocking the bar, kitchen and waitress prep, etc. Then the restaurant opened at 4pm and I washed dishes and bussed tables until closing time at 10:30pm. Afterwards I did close down by cleaning the kitchen which was an arduous task. I would get home around midnight or sometimes 1am on really busy nights. I was only 8 years old when I started this! From this experience I learned how difficult an hourly job was and that education was the only way to move higher. I studied my ass off in college while working and landed a job at a top white shoe investment bank. I ran circles around my analyst class working +100 hour weeks and was directly promoted to associate after 2 years. After 3 years as an associate and 1 year as a vice president, I left and joined the hedge fund world as an analyst. I was promoted to portfolio manager in one year and was running a $1B book within a year. After moving to another firm I ran a $2B book within 2 years. Anyhow my path may not have been as hard as yours - why? cuz I don't know, you like you don't know me. Am I privileged? Absolutely. By the grace of god I was given loving parents that gave me a solid foundation of understanding hard work, perseverance and determination which allowed me to succeed in life. They had the dream and left everything they knew behind to come to this amazing and beautiful country where I was born. That is my privilege = my loving parents and being born in the best country in the history of the world.
