In my opinion, it takes 3-5 years in real trading and screen experience to have a grasp of any given method. Paper trading is too limited in scope, psychology, and execution.

@stefan416 Another consideration for your futures trading needs is QST. Not a platform that is much discussed in forums, never the less, rock solid and used by many FCMs in Chicago. If you need options windows, they provide one of the betters ones. We have a demo with Rithmic, but you can...
