Ab wieviel Kapital macht es Sinn sich selbständig zu machen ?

@he96

heißt auch eher auf der Brennsuppen angeschwommen. habe mich da vertan. kommt wohl aus bayern. jedenfalls sagt das meine bayerische Frau.

Ich denke man muss sich auf jedenfall ein Büro mieten. Das zu hause kann nur in einer Katastrophe enden.

DA hast Du schon viel gelernt !!!

Hallo,

ich hätte da eine Performance-frage:

sind für einen aktiven Aktienhändler 40% pro Jahr im US-Aktientrading (EOD Swing/Positions-Trading - 10-15 Trades im Monat) machbar?

Die Frage stellt sich für mich, da ich die letzten 3 Monate gut gefahren bin, +10% Oktober, +2% November und schliesslich diesen Monat + 4,5%.
Da beginnt man leichte Hochrechnungen zu betreiben und die Monatsperformance aufs Jahr hochzurechnen :)

40% Plus pro Jahr ergibt sich aus einer angestrebten Monatsperformance von +2,9%, mit Zineszinseffekt.

Utopisch?

Nicht utopisch - aber nicht voraussagbar. Mit einer Datenreihe mit 3! Werten lässt sich keine Statistik machen.

Machbar ist alles von -100% bis + XXXX%, aber das lässt sich nicht herausfinden.

Gruss,

@ TraderLux

Sehr ärgerlich wenn die Kiste verreckt. Ich hoffe, dass du ein Backup hattest bzw. du an deine Daten noch herangekommen bist.

Wie schon das letzte Mal geschrieben: Mach mal ganz ruhig, denn Stress gibt es so schon genug.

Ich glaube, dass ich auch erst zur Ruhe kommen werde wenn direkt der Weihnachtsmann dieses Jahr an der Tür klopft und mich dann verärgert mit dem Baseballschläger statt der Rute vom Rechner wegjagt. :-)

Schöne Grüße,

Ja, gott sei dank habe ich einen backup gemacht. gerade einen tag vor dem absturz. nur die ganze Neuinstallation nervt mich ganz schön. Naja, jetzt gibt es wenigstens einen schönen neuen Rechner. Das konnte ich mir von meiner Regierung genehmigen lassen. Hehe, ja ist denn schon Weihnachten....

@TraderLux,

Wenn du ein Backup hast, wozu eine Neuinstallation....dauert keine 10 Minuten und das Ding läuft

Mein Rechner hat sich verabschiedet und lt Aussage meines Bekannten der sich damit auskennt war, das die Festplatte fertig war, daher neuinstallation auf neuen Rechner

Zum THEMA hier ein ausgezeichneter Artikel von Jim Wyckoff
(leider in englischer Sprache, aber in "plain" English):

When To Quit Your Day Job to Trade Full-Time

I have had many readers through the years--most of whom
were less-experienced traders--tell me that at some point in the
future they planned to quit their day jobs and trade futures
full-time. While their optimism was certainly positive from the
standpoint of eagerness to learn about a truly fascinating
business, it is also probably unrealistic that they will ever
make a good living as a full-time futures trader. At the end of
this feature I have a few questions that may help determine if
you are ready to attempt to join the elusive rank of "full-time"
trader. But first, I want to present you with some straight
facts.

I have been in this business nearly 20 years. I have read
stacks of trading books and have voraciously studied markets and
market behavior. I have worked right on the trading floors of all
the major futures exchanges. As a journalist, I have conducted
countless interviews with the very best traders and analysts in
the world. But I still cannot specifically predict exactly what a
given market will do in the future.

Now, at this point a few of you may be thinking, "This is
not very encouraging news. Maybe I should listen to some of those
other guys who say I can have immediate trading success by
learning their 'secrets' or adopting their 'proven' system or
strategies?" While I hope this is not the case with you, I am
very proud of the fact that I have made my reputation in this
industry by refusing to be marketed and promoted (hyped) as
something I am not, nor can ever be.

It's very important to realize the fact that neither I nor
anyone else--not even the most powerful computer trading
systems--can predict what the markets will do in the future.
Markets will never be tamed. I've said many times that my
profession is not a business of bold market predictions, but one
of studying past price history and exploring market probabilities
based upon fundamental and technical analysis--and human
behavior. By exploring and understanding market probabilities,
and human nature, one can achieve trading success.

Many traders are lured by fast-talkers or fancy wording
into thinking that someone or some firm has a sure-fire trading
"secret" or system that beats the markets on a consistent
basis--and racks up big trading profits in the process. But the
truth is, most of these claims are half-truths at best and
downright lies at worst--and come from people who are out to take
your money. I tell my readers right up front that I have no
"trading secrets" and that achieving futures trading success is
not easy and takes hard work. And even hard work does not
guarantee futures trading success. Unfortunately for many
traders, it takes the pain of losing substantial amounts of money
early on before they finally realize what I stress to my readers
right away.

Im Anschluß noch die Fragen
von Jim Wyckoff zum Nachdenken.

Now, on to a few questions to ask yourself if you think you
might be ready to trade futures full-time:

1. Are you a successful part-time trader? You'll need to be
successful at trading futures on a part-time basis before you
think about moving into the full-time trader ranks. Don't be
fooled into thinking that trading futures on a full-time basis
will allow you to spend more time to cure your part-time trading
ailments. In other words, don't say to yourself: "If only I
could spend more time trading markets, I could have more success
than I've had just trading 'one-lots' here and there."

2. Do you have enough money available to live on when (yes
when, not if) you hit a streak of losing trades? A losing streak
will inevitably occur--and probably sooner rather than later. And
I don't mean a losing streak of two weeks, but more like a
stretch of poor performance of up to six months, or longer.

3. Do you have the psychological stamina to be a full-time
futures trader? Quite frankly, most people do not. Can your
psyche (not to mention your pocket book) handle six months of
mostly losing trades?

4. Will your immediate family members support you--even
during a prolonged rough stretch of trading? Believe it or not,
this is a very, very important question. For example, if your
spouse does not support your decision to trade full-time, then
you are likely doomed to failure. The pressure of having to
produce winning trades and knowing that your spouse is skeptical
of your efforts is almost insurmountable.

5. And on your part, will you be able to uphold your family
or other important responsibilities even during a rough trading
stretch? Or, will you brood and kick the dog when he happens to
cross your path?

I think you'll agree with me that those are tough questions
to answer.
