I know the feeling. My my sim account i'm like whatever. Today with real money I was shaking. And of course as soon as I enter it goes totally against me. And my system is counter-trend so it should never go against me. LOL. (cuz you always hear trend traders complaining that it's going...

Absolutely positive. I have system generated signals from something I programmed. Entry and exit points are given at the point of entry. Sometimes exit points are adjusted as the position stays open but they're always known with no room for interpretation. I have the live and demo (OEC)...

So I stopped trading and went back to my demo account and I'm up $55 again. wtf

Ok cuz I've been demo trading for the last 3 weeks and making ~$400 per day with 1 down day. Today I'm down $360 already doing the EXACT SAME THING.

How come sometimes you demo trade profitably for months and then go live with the same exact strategy giving the same exact signals but lose money?

Um looks like you plotted a CCI on your chart. Shading in the distance between price and a moving average. CCI is awesome... we all know how successful Woodies' traders are... btw massive failure when price is chopping around your MA. How do you filter this out?

whoa guys wtf is going on here while I am short 8 contracts???

Seriously! What is this $8 million crap?

I heard it didn't backtest profitably. Also you should know by now that people who speak "esoterically" aren't super smart like monks, they're covering up their lack of knowledge with big sounding words. I've been a lurker here for a long time before I registered and I've seen this a LOT...

anyone else get this PM?

So I can only buy 3 NQ contracts with a $10k account cuz each one requirse $2,750????

Here's why I ask: I buy 1 contract and it says I'm using $2,750 of my buying power??? Shouldn't it only be $500? This is during normal trading hours I just did it right now.

Ok say you're at OEC and the margin for NQ is as follows: Initial: $2750 Day: $500 If you have a $10k account, now many NQs could you buy? 20? ($500 x 20) = $10000 3? ($2750 + 500) * 3 = $9750 14? ($2750 initial + 500 for each additional (14)) = $9750 How does it work?
