That was exactly what smallfil was referring to....

Is this another one of your post bragging that you are right while anybody else is wrong? You're too smart for ET. You should join a forum where your ingeniosity will be rewarded and welcome.

I started to be profitable when I started to let my winners run. And I'm day trading. I'm not here to convince you. Just adding my 2 cents if it can help.

I'm very sorry to hear that. But based on your strategy, that was expected. It wasn't if it would happen, it was when it would happen. IMO, You are doing the exact opposite of what you should be doing: Letting your winners run and cutting your losses early (easier said than done!). But I'm...

The Nikkei took 35 years to come back from the high of 1989. Sure if you're immortal, that'll do it....

Ask Madoff. He might give you some hints.

Since this is s trading forum, you should specify when you are referring to investing, like you do most of the time. Context is a very important part when communicating.

IMO, trading it's not a zero sum game (at least not always). Because not all traders have the same objective, especially with derivatives where they are used to hedge, and not to make money straight from the position. When we trade, we are not competing with others. It's not who win (make the...

I don't scalp nor I'm an HFT. Just plain vanilla day trading. 2-6 trades per day. Latency and/or response time is not a big factor for my style of trading. What types of statistics were you referring to?

Yes, it goes to CT before hitting the CME.

To make it clear, we cannot know the exact time at which an order is acknowledged by an exchange. What we can see is the time at which we receive the acknowledgement. And btw, the latter is more important. I'm 100% automated and trading ES through IB. My average round trip response time is 250...

Maybe, just maybe, you should focus more on yourself than on Brooks. Instead of 'Brooks biggest mistake as a teacher', how about 'My biggest mistake as a learner'? Your determination may be blinded by Brooks.

High win rate is good for selling trading strategy. Low win rate is good for making money. Of course risk-reward ratio play a big role here. Win rate by itself has very little importance.

People losing money are usually silent. The only ones that we hear is the ones making money. That's why it seems that everybody is making money.

Consistency over a long period is the key. And it's also the difficult part of trading.

How much are you willing to pay? Why C#? Is your strategy profitable? If yes, what are the metrics and over what time period?

You already asked that question last week. No matter how you'll rephrase it, you'll get the same answers. To resume, possible yes, but unlikely probable.

All the things you mentioned that Windows does are configurable. I'm running Windows since the beginning of time, and my rigs don't do that (install updates, pushing adds, failing to reconnect, watch for viruses, etc.). Maybe you don't know how to use it and/or to configure it to avoid all that...

You go there, buy a dozen, still warm. You eat 2-3 right from the brown bag while driving back home. You get home, stomach full of bagel, and car with sesame seeds all over the place...

I've never wrote that your posts were not valuable. I've never wrote that you were not profitable. I just wrote that advices to make money are useless if you cannot show proof that you are profitable. As for your questions, for once, do your homeworks. Stop waiting for the world to get what...
