    Is overtrading when scalping a problem on its own or only because of fees?

    Sure you give up a few ticks when scalping because you're competing with bots, but that does not mean that you cannot be massively profitable. Think of the the ticks you give up competing with algos as an additional cost to playing the game, but if you play the game right then you can still...

    Market Doesn't Care How Hard You Try

    Honestly the best thing I've done is to move all my trading over to a VPS, and the best one I've found is https://www.ninjamobiletrader.com/. I run NinjaTrader for scalping ES and CL, and also running MT for forex. I run both of them at the same time on the server, and just wait for the perfect...

    I'm betting money that it's only a 10% correction, QQQ will continue to rebound and hit new all time highs by end of April.

    I'm back. Hopefully better and more realistic.

    All I'm going to say is if you're not using MT over a truly reliable VPS, then you're doing it wrong. Unlike cheap ones, https://www.ninjamobiletrader.com/ is by far the most reliable and fastest with no input lag over RDP like the cheap ones. Worth every penny to be able to spot entries when...

    I opened an investment account with 20k USD, zero stock experience, and a dream

    It's fake. That user WSBGod was proven to be a former mod at r/wallstreetbets, that made fake screenshots in order to sell his guru course.

    Fake gurus?

    If they were any good, they'd be making most of their money in the market from trading their own accounts. Instead they focus most of their efforts on selling expensive courses... speaks for itself

    Trading and high blood pressure

    We've all been there, trading can be very stressful especially if you're sitting at home in front of your computer staring at a chart all day (and not making any money). Walking around during the day, stretching, and simply leaving the house to get sunlight can really help your mental state...

    Futures Challenge Sub 2k account to 20k and then quit job?

    I day trade ES for a living, and am living proof that it is possible to make weekly income in this game. For me, 2500 ticks is the sweet spot because most of my entries are around the open. In the past I would do something similar to you, after a successful 8 tick scalp would turn it off for...

    Trading for People who have a Job

    I think you're best bet here would be to move your trading over to a VPS. Many trading platforms only work on Windows, so not being at home in front of the computer becomes a problem. However if you moved over to a server, you could install everything you needed for trading on the server, and...

    How best to avoid slippage when automating?

    As a retail scalper, you can't really scalp only 1 tick because you're always paying the bid-ask spread. For example if you bought at 3100.25 and the markets froze, you can only immediately sell at 3100. You always pay 1 tick, so the market would need to move 2 ticks in your favor to profit 1...

    How to become a successful trader?

    If you're a price action day trader, I think trading on a vps is essential. Too often new traders are only trading on their home computers. They sit in front of the computer all day waiting for their perfect entry rules. After waiting for hours, they'll break their rules and force enter into...

    Futures (ES) and NinjaTrader for non-US

    I think you also need to buy a live data subscription. There are many options for live data providers, such as iqFeed, but they are expensive. Instead, you can buy the live data feed with tick data from the broker (NinjaTrader or AMP) for about $25 per month. Since you're not in the USA...
