I have never run over 12 miles and these days, in my sixties, rarely go over 6. I get a EKG yearly and periodic ultra's and stress tests. My heart is healthy. My joints are stable and non-arthritic, I have no medical issues and take no prescription drugs. I suppose I have defied death according...

Sim trading IS forward testing.

Yes, I lease it to mindless newbies.

Like the rest of this thread, it's all imagination anyway.:D

Sim is useful for forward testing a strategy and developing the confidence to trade it. If you can't show "profitability" in sim then you certainly won't live. But as alluded to, the difference is the emotional divide and the ability to replicate the results live is what separates the traders...

These threads often take on the aspect of a room full of theologians arguing about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.
