I ' m glad he gets what he voted for ! <| sep |> What is this oatmeal comic you speak of ? <| sep |> He just broke stuffing down like a professor . Next level shit right there . <| sep |> It ' s an I don ' t know , not a no . w e a v i n g e n j o y e d o u t r a g e o u snessofplayingredskultelI don ' t have any hopes and expectations , but I won ' t be surprised whether he comes back or doesn ' t . <| sep |> IMO 2 % per trade is possible , but not on earnings plays . Also , there is no real risk management strategy you ' ve mentioned . Like others said if you make 2 % on 10 trades but lose 20 % on the other two , you ' re still down . So it ' s not making 2 % that ' s hard . It ' s finding a way to keep your losses under 1 % consistently if your gains are always 2 %. That is going to be nearly impossible on earnings . If you want consistent 2 % gains on every trade you need a real strategy and a backtested system with real data backing it up . Even then you will still have losses but if you have a way to manage them they ' re not a problem . Edit also GFY
