thanks for sharing I am also a CQG IC user (only two years in) futures for many years and I really appreciate you showing the importance of the remove to neutral I am working on and trading several systems at the moment one of which has a very high remove to neutral but a not perfect percentage score. While I have talked to some at CQG who have been there many years (you know who I am talking about) this percentage score doesn't get a lot of attention because it is not near as important as the remove to neutral and of course the profit loss ratio. In other words you could have a trading system that is only at 50+% but the remove to neutral is so high its a very profitable system
here is an example of one that we are working on.
would really enjoy collaborating more with you if possible
More than happy to!
PM or email would probably be best, but happy to collaborate.
PM with any questions about Cannon Trading (800) 454-9572 (310) 859-9572. Trading commodity futures, forex and options involves substantial risk of loss. The recommendations contained in this post are of opinion only and do not guarantee any profits. These are risky markets and only risk capital should be used. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
I can count on something north of $400k from futures trading and that does not include income from long-term positions in stocks or any other investments. Not sure if that is of any worth to your question, but I did enjoy reading this thread. I will not be showing statements, lol. I stop trading in mid June and then resume after Labor Day. My secret weapon (besides experience) is capitalization. My comfort zone is having a HUGE cushion. I trade daily at the open. Some days done in 5 minutes, some days nursing a drawdown till 10pm. I bought a vacation home on the south shore of Nova Scotia (and then Canada wouldn't let me in without vax, which I refused). I also have a home in S. Florida and one in Highlands, NC. Futures gave us the capital to go big in BTC in 2015, even though I was not nearly as consistent in my trading back then. Futures took me a LONG time to learn, but has been very good to me and my family. I love trading, but I would not love it if money were tight or I was trading to pay rent or something like that.
I cannot imagine trading on a mobile app. That would be impossible for me and very risky / foolish.

IMO and in my own trading experience, I agree with this. I believe it takes alot money to trade the futures market. Around +$100,000. And the profits can not be used to pay bills. The profits used to be luxury items and retire from 9-5 quickly.
I have always believed that the futures market is getting rich and wealthy in X years.
