Aliassmith Beats a "Dead Horse"

[prochargedmopar]

I understand your math, BUT.....

The $300k has a trailing DD of $7500 compared to the $25K account at $1500.
That is 5 times the DD.
I think if I am conservative and trade 2 contracts @ $40/point and hit 50 points daily scalping, which I can do.
Thats about $40k/day or about $800k a month or about $400k after taxes and expenses.
So, $4.8 million a year net. That gets me interested

Uh, Damn, you plan on having a bad day, like REALLY BAD DAY????

$7500 (even $1500) drawdown from 2 lot?

Sheeeeeet man.
You sure you dont plan on adding 2+2+2+2 on a pullback IN THE WRONG DIRECTION?? hahahaahahahaha

I like to make it less stressful.

Comparing Apex accounts to the industry based on Draw Down.

The $25k account is really a $15k account with a 1 to 1 objective $1500 to make $1500
The $50k account is really a $25k account with a 1 to 1.2 objective $2500 to make $3000
The $100k account is really a $30k account with a 1 to 2 objective $3000 to make $6000
The $150k account is really a $50k account with a 1 to 1.8 objective $5000 to make $9000
The $250k account is really a $65k account with a 1 to 2.3 objective $6500 to make $15,000
The $300k account is really a $75k account with a 1 to 2.67 objective $7500 to make $20,000

The $100k static account is really a $5000 account with a 1 to 3.2 objective $625 to make $2000
with this account you should be able to build up a profit cushion unlike the FULL accounts that have trailing DD.

The $25K FULL account is probably the best value at 10% gain to pass.
I would probably trade it with 2 micro contracts on the Nasdaq.
$4 a point @ 50 points a day is $200 x 20 accounts $4000/day or about $1,000,000 a year.

To pass the $150k FULL account you basically need 18%
I would probably trade it with 6 micro contracts up to 1 mini contract on the Nasdaq.
$12 a point @ 50 points a day is $600 x 20 accounts $12,000/day or about $3,000,000 a year.

The $100k STATIC account is pretty crappy to start out. You basically need about 32% to pass. BUT
if you can get a profit cushion of about $10k I would use 2 mini contracts at $40/point

Interesting and thorough

As I stated before.
Cpope uses the $25k and trades with mini's. Said micros for him would be way to slow.
Every once in a while he'll start the day down $100-$200 and grinds his way back.
BUT, he has a $1500 cushion every day so it's really not that big of a deal being he is keeping a cool head.
Next thing you know he is +180, then +260, then +485, then +680..........Then, BOOM, $1084 or whatever is over $1k and he packs it in. Says later dudes. hahaha

I know you mentioned this but I like/feel better with more room to F up. I don't think I would trade more than 5 micro at most with the $25k account.

I was thinking about getting ten $25k accounts and passing them. Then get ten $300k accounts. These $300k will run 2 mini contracts. Then I replace a few $25k accounts at a time.

Maybe I need to go back to trading the ES when I try APEX.
The spread is typically a quarter point.
All I need to do is learn to grab 10 points a day.

I might like trading view mobile charts better. Something I'll have to consider.
