It’s fun when you’re young, but it gets old after you hit age 40

I believe it. Lets not forget the the infamous Yugo they once manufactured :)

“I spent half my money on gambling, alcohol and wild women. The other half I wasted.” ― W.C. Fields

After I survived the learning curve, the trading got easier, but it triggered a failed marriage, and series of failed relationships. I view everything as a probability or asset, even my own children. A woman’s vagina loses its commodity value (for me) if it takes up more than two hours of my...

Still wasn’t enough for my old man who dodged the draft, and escaped communist Yugoslavia at age 17 :)

Sounds about right. No guaranteed monthly income, no pension, no bonuses, no health insurance. Not to mention the emotional sterilization and introversion that occurs, whether you make it, or not.

Just an FYI. Multicharts is running a Black Friday sale (33% off) for lifetime licensing until Dec 1st. It's excellent retail grade software, with the ability to test/trade tick data. I have no affiliation with them. It's a great product for the lifetime price.

OP. I don’t need your money, or friendship, but I’d sure like to put a sock in your mouth. If you’re willing to open your ears, PM me your trading instrument of choice and I’ll set up my front-end to email alert you optimized (real-time) entries and exits using my data. I won’t disclose the...

No worries. The world needs ditchdiggers too

Sorry to hear that

So basically, all your exit orders are held, or emulated within your own front end? If so, are you glued to the screen? Do you have backup batteries/generators/internet configured to provide failover protection, or a VPS?

Not an illusion at all if done properly with close to zero degrees of freedom. First, before doing any WFA, a trader needs to understand why, and how their model(s) gives them any kind of competitive advantage in the marketplace. Also make sure they're executable in real-time before moving into...

I would, but not for monetary gain. Main reason to retire, and second for ongoing philanthropic efforts when I take a dirt nap. Have you successfully implemented profitable trading models? PM me if you want to talk about it.

Not sure, but their infrastructure wasn’t very cutting edge IMO. They restrict sub-minute data. Big joke in the age of HFT.
