I like this

I mean if you want to get out of the trading game, no headache.
Just keep pouring cash into it.
Best time to buy after a down year.

I like Kevin--nice guy, smart guy. But the definition of a successful trade is not a non-busted trade. I don't want to front 100K and tie up that capital to make $1K.
Thanks - two thoughts on this.
1. While a non-busted trade may not be seen as "successful" by some, I think we all agree that a busted trade is a failure. Consistently profitable trades with a positive expectancy
EXPECTANCY = (win% * average return on winners) - (loss% * average loss on losers)
indicates a winning system, while a consistent string of weak or busted trades is a systematic failure. The occasional large win must be supported by lots of other smaller wins to offset the occasional large loss. Otherwise you are basically treading water.
2. I am fine tying up 100K for no more than 10 days if I can make $1000. That annualizes to more than 35% per year which beats 99% of all investors. If it took a month to make 1% you would still be beating 95% of all investors in annual returns.
I have been trading a small 200K account using predominantly just the ^VIX system since 8/1, and am up 14K (7%) during that time (with the S&P 500 still down about 0.5%). Had I followed it religiously, I would be up another 10K. My bad for not doing what I should have, but the point I am trying to make is you do not need to swing for the fences on every trade. You need to have a reliable systematic approach that you follow, and not keep trying to second guess based on news or a gut feeling. This is something I am trying to work on and get better at.

Pt,
Look at this in your spare time and tell me if it's viable. I didn't give it too much thought
when putting it together. It was about a year ago just trying out a system. You could be honest.
When FAGIX dips under 10, go long SPXL until it goes under 7. Wait till it goes over 7, then go long LBND, UJB, or short SBND.

Joan, you bring very little to the table, no system, no anything, in fact I find Four even more valuable
than you with his endless news stories and mindless filters. But I got to say his filters have gotten
much better. I even value Karrena over you for she is the ultimate contrarian indicator.
You are slightly more valuable than Tro but that's not saying too much.
And if Kevin could finally get it together, and stop trying to hit singles that turn into double plays,
He could be King of SF.
Hope you all have enjoyed the roast.
