    Stages of a Trader

    As I've said, I have no problems with implementing/execution. I am very disciplined in that regards.

    Stages of a Trader

    It goes from very profitable (~100%) one year to break even or slight loss the next then back to very profitable again. This is based on 4-5 years of data. All exits assume hit no fill unless price moves past. Trade frequency is about 10-15 per month. I've tweaked it many many times since...

    Stages of a Trader

    If I didn't have a plan I wouldn't be trading at all. It's not in my style to go into something unless I've thought it through and through beforehand and know exactly what I'm going to do. I'm too much of a pussy to go into situations blind.

    Stages of a Trader

    I maintained a journal once upon a time. I'm very disciplined so it was the same thing everyday, like recording a machine would. I keep records like everyone else to gauge performance and how much it deviates from expectations.

    Lag with Rithmic or just me?

    Hey guys. I noticed that when I place my orders at the US market open, it can take up to a whole second for my orders to register. Just wondering what's going on with that and if i'm the only one? I just recently switched to Rithmic from the whole Zenfire fiasco. My platform is Ninjatrader...

    Is trading worth it in my situation?

    Lol you aren't getting the joke... this forum is notorious for a lot of loud mouthed idiots who make ridiculous claims about making 100000000% a second. i would be wary of listening to anyone here, especially those who have only been here a year or two.

    Would you buy or sell based on this chart? Part 2

    Yay I feel validated. Trading is a probability game though and nobody can predict the future. You win some and you lose some. I just got lucky on that particular one.

    Would you buy or sell based on this chart? Part 2

    I would sell. Seems like it's trending down and like someone else said, there's no indication of a reversal or exhaustion. Volume might be able to clear that fog, or not.

    If you could go back in time to when you were a new trader

    Slow down. Have a concise plan and execute it well. This will take years not weeks or months. Edit: Oh and buy lots and lots of bitcoins then sell at least half when it hits 1200. =)

    Moving on after Zenfire: CQG, TTnet or Rithmic?

    I've now tried AMP/CQG two times now, once for a few months stint in late 2012 and once just now. I honestly don't know why but despite what I've heard about CQG reliability, my experience is that they are terrible. In the 3 or 4 months I used them the first time round, they went down twice...

    Rithmic Announces Nonrenewal of Zen-Fire Use

    I'm essentially one step away from figuring all this out. I'd rather not have to go through the hassle at this time of switching brokers, platforms, etc.
