Here is yesterday's broker statement.

Also, you seem very angry and looking for an argument. If you have a therapist, consider examening this behavior.

Sure you do. That's why you solicit losing traders to pay you to learn how to trade. My guess is you're losing a lot more than making and vending helps pay the bills. My Journal account is a test to see if an autotrade strat I created has an edge. The account balance is adequate for my...

Good luck with your educational service business here on ET. I'm sure it's a good supplement to all the $millions you're earning from watching your TT screen. Since you're so very brilliant and pedigreed, do you remember who said, "Those you can't do teach?" Given all the time you spend...

With that kind of pedigree, why are you hustling here to teach retail punters to trade? Bored in retirement and too much golf?

Welcome back. That was a short exit. :D

20 contracts is a retail trade. How about 2500? How much slippage would you expect? My point in this was about scale--hedge funds have no interest in playing for crumbs in the futures markets and if the OP or anyone else, thinks professionals have any interest in retailesque trades like 20...

And what size have you seen on Bid/Ask in CL? The market is thin compared to ES and ZN, total contracts notwithstanding. Try buying 2500 and tell us what happened to price. Another argumentative know-it-all who's shopping for customers on ET. Feel free to follow in Mav's footsteps.

That seems to be your MO at ET. You're the only one who knows what you are talking about. Tata and happy arguing wherever you go next.

I'm speaking of FX futures such as those traded on CME; ditto for the other instruments. There is little liquidity in YM, CL, SI, ZW and many others. The OP is talking about FUTURES as far as I can tell.

Agreed, I should have deleted prop. :)

But in reality they can't, especially if your trading illiquid electronic instruments like FX E-mini Dow, most grains, metals and energies. So if your strategy trades ES, ZN, or FESX to name a few, size won't disrupt the market.

Let me repeat this: "I have many friends in the hedge fund world as well as CTAs." Do you see the word prop in that comment?

I have many friends in the hedge fund world as well as CTAs.

It should be pointed out that if, in the unlikely event, you'd get hired by a reputable prop or hedge fund, the system you bring will no longer be exclusively yours. They will take ownership of it, dissect it and ascertain how it works, so be careful before you take the plunge. And don't be...

Here are our final two trades of the day. Profit realized in 13 seconds. Time in market = risk. This system tries minimize it.

Here are the two trades that the system took this morning. As a point of reference, if the system is in a trade and market moving news is soon to be released, the trades stays on. In these instances, non-manufacturing ISM report was released at 10:00 ET and the trades closed in our favor.

Here is yesterday's broker statement.

Commission is significantly less than one tick and slippage is typically 1 tick.

Sounds like you want to trade with Prop's money and lay off the risk from you to them. Could happen if you have a demonstrated history of producing profits that are zero or negatively correlated to S&P. A superstar will usually get an audience to make a case for getting hired.
