Where the fuck you been dude? Yep, get rich quicker my friend, before your nuts sag to the floor. You can do quite well running one trade per day on a liquid market, if you have a good handle on the ATR.

Nobody knows. We're both assuming you dumb shit.

I'm not an NT expert and going based on the docs, and also from what I have heard. Can you give a short NT sample code of how to get the tick data in, without reference to some bar structure? Just curious, why have your stop orders resting locally, and not on broker/exchange servers? You...

I know live ticks come into the platform, but your NT script is limited because it's looking for bar structure. Same with Easylanguage. Current/Last price data is always based on some form of a bar, usually the close in most platforms. Works depending on what you're trying to accomplish, just...

The problem is the ticks are built into bars. That doesn't cut it for order flow engagement, and you'll never have accurate simulation. The competition is much faster and smarter nowadays. We're dealing in microseconds. I've seen NQ spike 1% in one second...

Some might be legit, but they're usually long-term with nasty drawdown periods, and single digit annual returns. Something outside the developers comfort level. When you see E-mini S&P daytrading with 100% monthly returns and 2% drawdown, that pretty much screams scam and/or curve fitting.

Both of them are nice guys, and I've complimented them for their contributions, but neither one of them is really "killing it" in this game. I tend to learn a lot more from those with serious (1M+) skin in the game, and I don't mean OPM.

They're not the ones gambling. They have a paycheck/salary coming in, with full benefits package.

The third party stuff with procedural based languages built into the platform is child's play for intraday execution. The reason is because of their "bar dependency" structure. They're just not fast enough and also don't handle portfolio level in a stable fashion. I toyed around with them for...

They can, but to reach the highest level in this game, you absolutely must have a gambler mindset, who is willing to lose his shirt, pants and possibly wife and kids. If you don't like that idea, don't even initiate the learning process. Just invest long-term and enjoy a normal life.

I agree. That’s one step closer to reality.

Makes a lot of sense. The NYSE specialist operation was heavily kept within families for many years.

This is getting comical. You asked how it’s made, I answered. Forget logical. Are you simple or what?

Your overthinking this. I answered your question. Did your parents have any kids that lived?

Negative, I know many who have done it in less than 20 years through rental investments and maxed out retirement accounts. To answer your question though, maybe this young Chinaman did the same.

1M is chump change nowadays. I’ve met janitors and factory workers worth more. They don’t spend like stupid liberal yuppies living in urban America.

Ah, the old "guy I know" story. Always a great confidence booster.

Still sounds like a shot in the dark, but you’ll get smarter, or go broke. I wish you the best and hope you solve the puzzle.

He already tried that:
