    Comparing simulated trading to reality: mini-Dow on Ninja

    I guess I should just ask Advantage or the exchange whether the mini-Dow is FIFO or pro-rata. Either way I should get an edge sometimes. It's a good thing that the simulation is more difficult than real trading because it really doesn't evoke much feeling when i am trading on it. I hope that...

    Who trades at night?

    I am in Moscow trading Euribor. That is until my wife gets a visa and we move back to the US. I really just trade US hours. European hours are mostly slow and the European Central Bank/politicians have a bad habit of opening their big mouths without any warning. Good way to get chopped...
