    Where to find a programmer to automatically backtest a system

    It's possible there's some off-the-shelf software you can use to do this on your own, unless your rules are extremely complex. Maybe Ami-Broker or Investor RT can do it. Ninjatrader can possibly to it, too. Beyond that, I have good experience using Upwork for some smaller projects. The key is...

    Start Earn2Trade's Trader Career Path For $90 And Get A Refund When You Pass!

    E2T is the only firm (I think) that actually discloses this data. From the bottom of their front page:

    Start Earn2Trade's Trader Career Path For $90 And Get A Refund When You Pass!

    It depends on the company. As far as I know, Earn2Trade is the only company where you'll actually entitled to what you earn from day 1 as a "funded" trader. With the other companies, you'll usually have to build a cushion of various sizes. At least one of the companies require that you build a...

    Start Earn2Trade's Trader Career Path For $90 And Get A Refund When You Pass!

    You pay a minimum of $115 over six months, i.e., $690 to simulator-trade for 6 months and if you pass, you basically are "funded" with a $6K account. They call it a $200K account, but since the drawdown is $6K that's effectively what you're getting. And if you do one single mistake, you're...

    Last trading day of March and last trading day of Q1 today. Just saying... :)

    What is your favorite Index Future Micro E-Mini to trade, and why?

    Agreed. While the profit potential is larger on NQ that doesn't matter if it's less predictable and you can't catch those moves reliably. It may be that others have come to different conclusions and results. My experience with NQ is limited, so I will not speak with authority. Just my casual...

    What is your favorite Index Future Micro E-Mini to trade, and why?

    Care to elaborate? FWIW, I think this comment may have been more relevant in low volatility periods when the ES would barely move. Clearly not the case right now and have not been so for a long time. Since ES is what I know I obviously don't disagree with you.

    What is your favorite Index Future Micro E-Mini to trade, and why?

    MES / ES. Simply because I spent a great deal of time studying, trading it and compiling various statistics on it. I've seen many claims that ES is the hardest of all index futures to trade. As such, I've spent some time looking at both NQ and YM, but I don't see that there's a great...

    stock market seasonal behavior anyone can make a decent cheat sheet?

    Yes. :) However, in order to understand it, you need to do your own research and that takes time and effort. The stock trader's almanac have some basic stuff on seasonality which could be helpful. Or not.

    This week, too, closed green. + 1.87 % on the week. :)

    Seems like it! :) Critical failure at lift-off.

    Gentlemen and ladies. We have lift-off.

    ES Journal - 2021/2022

    Most of my weekly/daily biases already hit by now, so no strong edge for how this day unfolds from here. But, if we take out 22/24 and get some traction, I think it's not completely crazy to see 4590 by the Close.

    A good chance we put in the LOD now (4511.75), although it's still a bit early on the Open.

    Okay... I was about to say I hope it works out for you, but I can't use that word, so...Good luck then. :)

    What if ES didn't reverse at ~ 15 % down like it did and instead dropped to 25 %. Wouldn't that have been an unnecessary loss, too?

    AutoTrading Micro NQ and ES

    This is what you wrote on February 2nd. After sitting through a very deep drawdown for the 2nd time in this journal. Then you did it again a 3rd time. If history repeats itself you'll do it again and eventually you'll take a very big hit. It seems to me you're rewarded for 'bad behavior' and...

    ES Journal - 2021/2022

    You almost jinxed it! Might not be a bad idea to get out as we approach 4600, though, and take a small loss - instead of hoping you'll get out if we should drop again from here. Which I'd say can happen just as easily as going higher. Hope. Let's all erase that word from our trading...

    4600 by end of week wouldn't be too crazy.

    You're doing "okay" with your own account, yet consider doing business with OneUp? Makes no sense...
