    The #1 Cardinal Sin of Trading is...?

    Impatience. If I'm waiting for the setup then I must wait for the actual setup. Not the "that's almost it and I don't wanna miss it so screw it I'm gonna just take the trade now", um, setup.

    Thanks for the candidness in wins as well as losses. I'm certainly getting a lot from this thread.

    Developing "Spartan"

    I used to have a terrible CPU issue with Matplotlib and almost abandoned it but ended up solving it pretty easily. When you have your chart drawn out on the axis, everything on the chart can be accessed with the get_children() method for said axis. It's some kind of list and the first three...

    What are some good Youtube Downloaders?

    The best one I've used is called youtube-dl. Completely free and open source, no adware, spyware, etc. It works for YouTube allowing you to download the video, entire playlists and channels, or just the audio at whichever bit rate you prefer. It even works on many other, um, video sites if...

    Your narrative rings true and your trade amounts and results are nothing short of stunning considering the size of your stack. Please keep us posted with as much detail as you are willing to share. This could become a legendary thread for ET.

    Are tradingview.com free charts streaming live for Index Futs like ES etc and stocks ?

    I pay for the CQG real-time futures data feed through Amp Futures, my broker, and because of that I don't have to pay extra for real-time data in tradingview. I did have to upgrade to a paid plan with tradingview and verify my CQG subscription to enable the real-time charts though.

    Long short game

    Round: #100 Balance: $23,520.36 All jokes and Python scripts aside, here are results running the closest to my real strategy as the given constraints allow. So a mix of "No Trade" and "Long" since I very rarely short. Unlike the game, when trading for real, I only deal with index ETFs and...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    To avoid the indignity of having @Rickshaw Man break character, I'll just say it. I'm pretty sure his posts in this thread are meant as ironic satire

    Billicare trade journey: from 5K to 250K

    I hate to go on the offense but I see this and I saw the last "journal" by the, um, other guy that was also this. The way the last one imploded mid-stream despite the ridiculously unlikely level of "success" convinced me it was a thinly veiled ad for the funding company. So here we go again...

    Do trading edges for retail traders rely on intellect or do they rely on knack ?

    In my experience, once one gets some kind of edge, consistency is the key. One has to do the same thing over and over and over day in and day out without wavering for years and this is extremely difficult for most people. Every failed trader I have seen in real life has lost due to lacking this...

    AMP Account?

    $500 if I remember correctly I pay $5 a month for CME but I only trade the e-mini S&P and Russell so I couldn't tell you what the others cost.

    GrowleyMonster's Sorta Journal

    If it hasn't been said, Sierra Chart works perfectly in Wine on Ubuntu (or any distro) and that's how I use it. In my experience it's smoother than native but YMMV of course.

    Best Amp Futures Platform?

    I've traded stocks and crypto for a while but just started trading futures with Amp a few weeks ago. Having never even thought about, much less traded futures prior to this I picked Sierracharts with the CQG datafeed at random and so far have not had any issues. I found the platform fairly easy...
