Agree. I used to trade breakouts and that added to the problem of slippage of course, but anyway, NQ isn't very liquid.

Used to trade up to 15-20 at a time back in 2013. There was some slippage like 2-4 ticks. Critical if you day trade for small gains.

Trades called showed a profit as a result, but I don't feel it's sustainable and hence the current journal is closed.

Bought USDCHF higher barrier and EURCAD lower barrier.

Bought EURGBP higher barrier.

AUDCAD bet closed for a profit.

Bought AUDCAD higher on 1/17 close.

Bought XAUUSD above 1572.71 on 31.01.2020 close.

Yes I did. Many scams related to binary options, but this one (formerly BOM) is okay it seems. Withdrew money from there many times and have an account for 10+ years.

Since I still haven't found an efficient way to mimic binary options with vanilla (for a number of reasons) I will post some binary trades here. I place them on binarydotdom simply because I have an account there for a long time. Most will last for a few weeks, some for days or months. Next...

In theory synthetic crosses, which consist of two major legs may move while cross rate remains the same. For example: currency A rate to USD is 2 and currency B rate is 1. Cross rate of A/B is 2. Rates change so that currency A is 4 and currency B is 2. Obviously if you were long A/USD and short...

Was consistent from the start when had an edge, then inconsistent for years. The future will show what's next.

Came to conclusion that success in trading is having an edge. I mean objective edge. Hence practice is literally not needed if you have it and won't help if you don't.

Thank you all for answers, will set up a C2 account and see how it goes.

Don't recognize this statue, ours is this one. :D

Yes, I am. But it's a bit different from Siberia most people think about when hear it. :)

Not sure about scaling, usually easier said than done unless you get an edge in say ES during RTH. My other vehicle is my wholesale business, completely unrelated to trading and also pretty scalable and growing, so far see no limit on it to swallow any money lol.

How would you monetize a forward tested strategy provided you have a better vehicle for your own capital?

Struggle to profit from buying options here. In theory I ubderstand it's time to buy when you'd bet on direction of an underlying plus IV of a chosen option is low. Still hard to turn it into money.
