Not sure if this has been covered already, but you need to turn on "IntrabarOrderGeneration" as shown below. This will allow order to be filled at the current bar. Enable intra-bar order generation: [IntrabarOrderGeneration = True]; When IntraBarOrderGeneration is turned on, next bar really...

Do you mean matching backtest results to the real world? Have you traded your system in real time and then ran the backtest for that particular date(s) in question? If not, try that and make the comparison. With that said, here's are some caveats that you'll run into from the get go. First, if...

Dude, you don't belong here. You're an INVESTOR, not a TRADER. :vomit: :p

Can you really point your finger to just Powell? What about Yellen? Or Bernanke (along with Treasury secretary Henry Paulson in 2008), who was the mastermind of QE? Even Greenspan, with all his dodgy rhetoric, cannot escape the blame since the market (especially the dot com bubble) went haywire...

Health and happiness, something that money alone cannot buy.

Yeah, thought it pretty stupid as well. But people will suddenly come to their senses and realize "Oh shit, we've rallied hard 150 points! I better take money off the table." We'll see how it goes. If I don't see much retracement tonight, I just might bail out.

Short again 82

And the reason for why he (or his algo) is trading better now. Those stupid mistakes are tuition.

Short 63 SL 73 PT 43 I think we've about hit the top here

You sure about shorting this rally? Once it breaks above 68, you better protect your behind. They just might ream you until you're blue. :)

So true :D

Easier said then done though. I've had my share of coding up strategies and they ain't easy. In fact, I would say 97% of them will eventually fail, just as in the real world where 97% of daytraders will fail (although it's more like 99%). And you ultimately run into curve-fitting, which will...

Well, sure, position sizing is important. But position sizing is like a double-edged sword. It also goes hand in hand with risk management. You can't just increase your position without knowing the risk parameters in advance. Also before you can trade large orders, you really should already have...

Thanks for asking. I trade my own live account. What about you?

Seriously, I've never seen so many wayward ADHD patients than here. Jumping here, there, and everywhere, they just can't seem to stay focused on any one thing. Now what were we talking about again?

Personally, I ain't too interested in knowing the definition of day trading or what you can potentially make. While that may be an interesting topic to beginners, I've been doing this for awhile. On the other hand, I would love to talk about perhaps the psychology behind why you decided to...

I now fully understand why people cannot resist bashing you. You get so hung up on these irrelevant matters, it's laughable. Why don't you look at the entire forest for once, instead of singles trees? :rolleyes:

Other than a few tidbits here and there, and they're usually very basic knowledge, I don't think I've ever seen a thread solely dedicated to day trading. Some of the things I believe worth discussing here (in no order of importance): market psychology, self-discipline, traps, entry/exit (eg...

Having seen 200 point jump in ES 3 weeks ago following the NFP (or was it something else), I doubt anyone has the balls to front run any event going forward, be it FOMC or NFP.

Everything is going to be okay, so just relax. Half the time, I have no idea what you're saying but that's okay too. We just need to give out good vibes. That's all. :)
