    YM - Anyone day trading it?

    YM is great for some day trading strategies that are more inconsistent with ES. For example good for VWAP related strategies, and the fee for all data across all the US indices is only $30 per month.

    How fast is your internet connection speed ?

    I use to use speedtradingservers, but got tired of paying $60 for a slow vps. The latency was fast, but the actual rdp was very slow, because their hardware was low. Then contacted steadfast and they sell the same vps for much less! So when I switched to ninjamobile it was amazing that the same...

    IB Margin Requirements on futures are crazy!

    It's true the IB has higher margin requirements, and there are many low margin brokers like NinjaTrader. However the real truth is that the higher margin requirements really are to protect traders. Just because a low margin broker lets use trade ES for $500 per contract does not mean it is a...

    Scientist discovered why most traders lose ...

    It's true most people who try trading end up giving up and not making it. But that should not come as a surprise. Trading is hard work, so from that point of view most people will not make it, but there are a lot of use who have traded for primary income that last decades and have been very...

    IB - "Order Transmitted, Not Yet Acknowledged"

    I trade from Europe all the time when I am traveling and highly recommend trading on a server located in the USA. It has fixed all of my connections problems and let's me trade on the go with the same setup no matter where I am or what device I'm using. I like www.ninjamobiletrader.com...

    Wallstreetbets WHOOPSIE!

    Are the users on that forum real or are they just joking around with each other?

    How fast is your internet connection speed ?

    I'm only trading on a server now and highly recommend it. 1,000Mbps and 1ms latency to my CME broker in chicago. It's really great because even when I'm not home traveling, I just remote into the server and my whole trading environment is accessible on the go, and always has that low latency...

    The Last Dance - my last attempt trading journal

    It's not easy, especially if you are taking every potential zone reversal and the profit target is tight. A tighter profit target will naturally lead to a higher win rate, all else equal. But your overall expectancy can go down. You could try to add additional context like filters on top to...

    Question about Java implementations and frameworks for algorithmic trading, and relevant techniques?

    Are you looking to have live data stream from NT8 into your Oracle DB, then you do some analysis, then send position execution instructions back to NT8? Personally I have not done this, but I think it should be possible because it's using .NET and you can pretty much use any Windows components...

    Best strategy for a new person.

    Buy and hold indices is pretty much the only successful strategy that anyone can do with barely any research, no experience, and not rely on luck.

    For newbies: Moving averages as in indicator.

    Who exactly is this post for or what made you post it? Are you trying to convince yourself? If you're looking for an indicator to tell you when to buy, a buy the fucking dip indicator should do it, although it doesn't work quite as well during sideways markets but as long as you can keep...

    Question about Java implementations and frameworks for algorithmic trading, and relevant techniques?

    NinjaTrader's built in NinjaScript, which is essentially C# is extremely easy to pick up for anyone with the most basic general programming experience. I coded up my strategies on NinjaTrader 8, mostly using google for help, and it was very easy to get started. Now running them on the VPS...

    Stimulus going into iPhones

    Missed opportunity for AAPL and other popular luxury brands to release new models coinciding with the stimulus and heavy marketing. Yeezys probably seeing a nice boost, don't they release new limited editions every month?

    GME /Wallstreetbets Save the Gorillas

    Considering there's only a little over 1,000 mountain gorillas that Dian Fossey fund works with, they greatly oversold symbolic adoption! Rough estimates: $400k donations / 1,000 gorillas * local exchange rate = congolese millionaire gorillas

    I’m of the belief we’ll never see asset deflation again

    I also think that, but then I'm reminded of economies like Japan, where the their equity indices still have no recovered since the high of the 1990s! However considering the factors in the Japan case, I do agree with you regarding asset price inflation.

    The Last Dance - my last attempt trading journal

    Hey looking at your charts, it looks like you're trying to predict the tops and bottoms of reversals for your entries. Imo that's a tough game to play. When I first started out many years ago I would do that too but found it required much larger stops, with less contracts and a larger bank...

    trading overnight futures?

    Exactly what I've focused on and it's working nicely. Using ninjamobiletrader.com I'm running my scalping strategies on ES overnight, and 19 out of the past 22 days have woken up with over $1000 in profits, trading on 2 contracts. ES typically less choppy overnight and is easier to trade with...
