Toast, the entire thing with your idea of putting up 5000 bucks so someone can go see your invented buddy in Thailand or wherever you live, in the day and age of Madoff and faked returns etc etc, and who you conveniently came up with to back up your ludicrous, self-contradictory claim that he is compounding with daytrading but is trading all of 18 mill (!), is an irrelevant joke with absolutely no meaning apart from throwing smoke and mirrors on perfectly clear issues which is all you ever do.
One CANNOT compound daytrading into size because of liquidity, because you will start moving the market.
That is EXACTLY why prop traders daytrading and scalping can achieve tremendous returns but cannot compound them, but hedge funds doing size can compound but with far lower returns.
That is the REAL world.
In real life the bigger you get the more your returns will diminish because of liquidity.
twi, another guy who stopped posting most likely because of moronic BS like what you post here taking over hand was at a prop firm and is at a hedge fund now, stating the perfectly obvious to anyone with a brain:
Many people think if you make 20-30% a year that you are doing brilliantly well. Many here will make 50-100% per month. It is not a methodology you could apply to large amounts of capital such as fund trading but for individuals accounts it cannot be bettered.
If your invented buddy had come up with a way to defy gravity and were really compounding daytrading he'd be the richest person on this planet.
The guys making hundreds of millions and Billions ain't daytraders tho, it's hedge fund guys doing size you cannot daytrade with.
And that's why real life pros with real track records moving size trade off of longer terms charts, another concept clear to anyone who trades for a living and just gets on with it but equally clearly alien to you:
"Dan Zanger (who turned 10K into 42 million in two years and has the potential to go all the way because he knows how to compound with size and holding on to moves over sdays or weeks):
I mostly use daily charts. You just can't buy 70000 shares off of a 5 minute chart. Most institutions don't use 5 minute charts, they are using 30 or 60 minute and certainly daily charts."

Or our very own head of fx desk at a bank GJ:
Don't trade 1 min or 5 min charts,
Thats my advice

but rest assured far more serious traders trading serious money use 4h charts than 15 min ones. Fact! (as David Brent would say).

This ain't religion and hence ain't about beliefs, this is about hard facts, and that's why posters like you who clearly doesn't get it as you honestyl thought that taking that daytrading course you took just awhile back was a great idea that was gonna set you up lol or guys like Socrates who lost money in a trading challenge or newtrader going for 1 point gains with onelots and accordingly doing shift work for a living aren't just a waste of time driving quality posters away from here, no, any advice from you guys is plain financially dangerous.
Just like Socrates was banned a guy like you claiming on a trading board of all places that TA doesn't work in the face of all evidence to the contrary in the form of people not overcomplicating trading like Zanger etc etc should be banned as well.
Clearly TA does work, clearly you cannot compound size, and your twisting these obvious facts in an attempt to appear clever or I don't know what floats your sorry boat and without ever offering anything constructive is really misleading to newbies trying to get a chance at making it in trading and is turning this place into comedy central where less and less real traders from hedge funds or banks or trading their own money have much desire to congregate.
