Trading successfully for a few months doesn't mean anything. It could be just luck, or because it's a bull market.

Yes, it's possible but also you have to consider possibility of losing. In trading everything is possible but being so undercapitalized is a big disadvantage. I would suggest at least six months profitable sim trading and starting with at least $ 20k trading only one contract.

Try with brokers like open e cry. They offer free charting with tick data backfill. You need to have an account with them and they provide only US futures data as far as I know.

You will be better off scalping ES, $12.5 a tick. Velocity offers good commissions but $2.50 all in for a retail trader sounds too good to be true.

I suggest that there is possibility in the trading permissions to enter manually symbols or instruments to be allowed to trade. If you trade only ES and YM you would enter the symbols manually in the trading permissions and only these two symbols would be allowed to be traded. If a trader wants...

Sorry, I did not intend to scare anyone by referring to refco. It was only a joke

Strange, I had the same problem with my refco account about a year ago

Anyone who lost a lot of money using this method for 6 months should never trade. Trading is not for everyone.

Very nice results. Are you using Jack's system?

This is a good decision. As long as you have a problem with sticking to your rules (although as I understand you are still on a simulator) you are not ready to trade live. You need to stay on the simulator until you become confident that your system is profitable. Breaking your rules means that...

You will need $100K. You should not trade live unless you are consistently profitable on a simulator for at least 6 months. My advice is to open an account with a required minimum and get on a sim and trade the size you plan to trade live using the same platform you will be using in real...

Of course such a system exist. It's called Holy Grail.:D

I agree with RedDuke. Jack is giving a good system for free and putting up with a lot of ignorance from lazy wannabe traders who don't have patience to test and practice for at least a few months.

everyone makes mistakes, including the pros but the pros have many advantages so their mistakes have not so much influence on their trading results (profits). They have experience, they are well capitalized and have low transaction costs. Pros don't mind paying extra for a fast, reliable...

LOL. I voted No and was pleased to find myself in a smallest group of traders in this poll. For a consistent winner to have just one big win is not a big deal. For a consistent looser it's a big day, a reason to celebrate.

I have been in the room for the first time yesterday. Only about 60 traders were in there and I was impressed with honesty of Ron and others. It was not the best day for them but all calls and trade results were clear, no matter wheather there was a profit or loss.

It is hard to define a trading edge because there are many but there are some symptoms in a trader's behavior indicating that he is trading with the edge: -trading becomes a routine an every day is more or less the same -no or little emotions, calm trading -trades are taken more in an...

How much are you willing to pay for a profitable strategy? 300 bucks a month for a chat room with a mentor, 100 bucks for a newsletter, 5000 bucks for a system which can make 100k a day. There are thousands of trading mentors revealing profitable strategies day and night. Are they nuts?
