Mmmm a numbers game.

Hardly an advantage. If you prefer spot, you can plot the futures volume for your analysis and trade the spot. They move 99.95% lockstep.

Looks like you answered your own question. You asked for opinion (or rather a confirmation) on whether it is enough, most gave no as an answer, from a professional manager point of view. You're happy with a "token of appreciation", so it is obviously enough for you. Almost everyone here will ask...

There are much better programmers out there than hackers.

By "solving" you mean a legal way of trading ? ie. no insider info/hacking accounts etc. Hacking have little to do with speculation. Hacking has "logical" mechanics - break the set parameters of encryption and it's "solved" in a hacking sense. Market prices which is a reflection of human...

Give enough numeric data and humans can draw patterns out of anything. Look up charts of random number generated "prices". No one can tell the difference between it and actual prices charts.

No. You don't move the FX futures market by trading 10 to 100 lots/contracts.

https://www.topsteptrader.com/affiliate-program/ Company way too focused on marketing for the "testing" fee than actually finding serious LONG TERM stable traders. Almost every other funding shops want to see a minimum of 1-2 years of results and TST only requires less than a month. They have a...

What is the people's (and therefore the media) obsession with this loser (at least from these trades) ? Down 150m YTD, makes open gains of 21m, which most of it is given back now, maybe even losses as doubled in reinvested - and this becomes news.. This is just as likely to be a hedge that...

I watch OI in commodity hedging markets but not in financials markets.

Experience, no substitute for that.

I don't know the exact figures, and don't really care. They don't mean much to me as distribution is not balanced/random in intraday trading. For example, a coin flip is unbiased at the next toss. A trade is not to me. If I average 65% win rate trade in the long run, I certainly do not expect...

Max your leverage long or short flip a coin before the next high impact news release for whichever pair you can trade. https://www.dailyfx.com/calendar

Yes the currency futures. I found my approach when I stopped doing these 2 things: 1. Indicators (formula based).When I took those junk off was when the real learning started. No maths derivative of price will help you predict price. Watched how longer time frame levels affected shorter time...

My problem with all this artificial intelligence hype is that just because a few large funds use it really well with their army of highly qualified engineers along with hundreds of millions $ in resources, that the retail plumber dad think they can replicate that by doing some coding on the...

Thanks. I switched focus from indices to 6's because of volatility & life/time changes(in the end it didn't do much lol I'm still addicted whenever major markets are open). Different account, here it is. You can see the quiet transitional period.

Hello. Kind of tired reading of all the quant/AI/ML/coding hype everywhere :vomit: and that if you're not doing it, you'll be out competed. I'm an old fashioned brain and eyes (along with bits of guts and groins) trader. So just putting it out there and let's see in a couple of years time if I...
