Thanks all. We came to an agreement today. The accepted my number, which is the max amount the system cam handle, with a right of first refusal on my next 2 systems, which are in final testing now. Thanks for all the input.

All forward testing and the max # of positions opened during the test was 7 and they were all sub $100 stocks. I have had as many as 25 positions opened over the past few decades using this system as part of my broader trading, so it cant easily be broken down. And when I had 7 positions, they...

What are you looking to gain and what do you bring to the table?

I just started trading through proactive using the Ninjatrader and ZEN Fire connection. It's the best thing ive ever used. The Zen fire connection is unreal. I tested it side by side with TT and it blew it away. I strongly recommend looking into it. btw trademaven is over. i used to...
