99% of the paper traders are busy with everything else but real issues concerning trading. In essence, BS. It is a growing pain that traders who don't trade real funds come here and just BS day and night and affect those who actually have skin in the game with theories. To everyone else...

You are just better of (in my opinion) trading on the CME the Euro Currency and Yen that constitute the majority of the index. I believe the USD index margins are about $2K (of course subject to change by the exchange) Also, ICE rates for data are expensive. Here is some info, just in case...

When you switched computers, you went live?

I think that in terms of "being the same" is a matter of liquidity as you mentioned. But, I would not assume it would be a tick for tick. In fact, I think there could even be arbitrage trading. We put a few strategies for the Options trader to take a look at...

I heard that telenovela for years. for now, It's there. I am supporting it. If one day it's not there, we will move on and deal with that reality.

I always supported Sierra and Rithmic and never dropped it. It works fine in my opinion.

Fair enough. I looked at a variety of books that discuss sample sizes and stats. I just get too in-depth at times while glancing over stuff that gets too "heavy". I just suggested the lookup the term first on the net to see if you want to take it further. Remember when I started there...

You can buy 100 courses on trading and never understand the essence of trading. If you don't have the risk tolerance, understand odds(tail risk, sample size), and the importance of decision making, your library of books, CDs, and software is just wallpaper decoration. If I had to "start over,"...

If I had to add one word for those who are successful in trading is "methodical." And in fact, it is something I would add to anyone who succeeded in business. They review things slowly, are not impulsive, and don't have this "fanaticism" associated with amateurs all over the place when it comes...

Read what I said again. I said "it's very hard to look at the individual account, analyze the risk, and then make a forward-looking prediction whether it will retrace" In other words, it's impossible.

From a risk management perspective, it's very hard to look at the individual account, analyze the risk, and then make a forward-looking prediction whether it will retrace. If the customer has gone into a deficit, it would be "why didn't you liquidate before it was negative", and when it retraced...
