    +161.40 +0.5% happy to have a decent day today; the strategy worked as planned but still had issues ... at a point in time it was up 1% with a few $1 trades, which eventually retraced given I have a time stop, without a profit target or trailing stop... given it has happened now a few times...

    thank you for the feedback, greatly appreciated.... I normally stay away from the first 30 mins... the strategies do not trade during that timeframe.. they start looking at trades only after 10:00 AM EST... TIP can not filter on avg % of spreads, but I can create custom filters and...

    (239) -0.8% bad day today, with the gap and then the retrace and the chop that took place after it... it was a useless day to execute my strategy... need to work other types that will balance things out as a portfolio of strategies is my goal... I need to put some more hours using the...

    how to blow up a prop firm acc in 2 days

    again, your ECN fees, you didnt do much of anything about that I gather... and needless to say... you already knew your comms were high and yet, didnt bother to go address the issue before trading another share again.. so the account blow up could've been prevented easily...

    first day with a prop firm, owned by commissions

    ask G6 for a list of ECN and their Fees.... it should look something like this.. then program those on your platform for default actions... depending on the action and if the venue has the liquidity for the issue you are trading..

    first day with a prop firm, owned by commissions

    comms are not your only issue, but you seem to remove liquidity only... there are ways to reduce that and even make a rebate... learn your routes... also... your comms at that prop are higher than IBKR.. https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=commission&p=stocks1 I guess it is...

    great day I picked to turn on my strategies to start my test. Market was in a down slide from the start, lots of shorting opportunities and me with no short strategies available to deploy yet. needless to say, today was a losing day, but I stuck to my plan overall and ensured not to intervene on...

    Prop Firms for Experienced Traders

    hmmm.... have you looked at Interactive Brokers Portfolio Margin? 6:1 with $110K which is about what you stated as a contribution... you can also look at WTS and Bright Trading... neither of them will require training if you are doing your own thing and indeed have a track record you can...

    Screen capture of initial account balance, minus fees, etc... there is no "goal" per say for what PnL should look like... I care more about not losing anything greater than 1% per day... I will try not to focus on the amount of money to "earn" given that has led me wrong before, so not focusing...

    I have been a long time user of Trade-Ideas Pro(TIP), well over a decade. It is the best equities RT scanner available to retail investors. I had tried others like madscan and the like, and TIP is just bar-none IMO superior overall. I have always used TIP in conjuction with the OddsMaker(OM)...

    IB Account linking?

    the $10 is just one of the fees, for market data.... there are other fees that you should think about... regardless, IB is the best for active traders.. if you are not an active trader on that account then just accept the cost of doing business and add to your portfolio some dividend paying...
