No more replies from me on this thread. The guy probably already blew up his account anyway.

I still think, no matter how deep his pockets are, funding the account with more than $1000 out of the gate is just asking for trouble. He needs to learn limits, self imposing them may be a good self control measure. If he keeps a small account for long term it will keep him from getting greedy or drunk on success in the future. If he can have a trading account and reserves account, he can shift anything he gains, at least 50% of the day to reserves in the future instead of letting his account grow and scale his contract to such a degree where he looses control.

.

agree

another common mistake : "i would not have lost, if I only had more money..."

After reading these texts I think I'm going to look more at swing trading. Where can I learn about swing trading the spy I was unaware of that.

Unless one has a thoroughly-tested and consistently-profitable trading plan, he will also learn bad habits trading real money in a real account in real time -- just a different set: revenge trading, overtrading, impulse trading, etc.

With enough inside information and a million dollars, you can go broke in a year.

I'll stop cuddling him. Then tell him a number. Several numbers. And $30k is not close to realistic out of the gate.

$50k to trade futures.

But this amount isn't the main issue. Futures are far to much leverage to begin learning anything about trading or the markets.

$1000 in futures is like putting a quarter of a gallon of gas into the tank of a Ferrari and handing the keys to a 16 yr old without his license. He probably won't go far and might die.

4 pages of posts since the OP last logged on. I'm pretty he's not listening to any of us...
