If your live trading is half as good as your paper trading, then you're in business. You'll only know when you'll switch and your approach of downsizing is a good one.

Not it's not. Most of those 'prod firms' used simulated trading environment. On top of that, they have all sort of restrictions/rules/constraints that you have to follow. 'Prop firms' are for the ones without money who think they can get rich quickly and without sacrifice.

Are slippage and comm included? How good, or close to real money trading, is the paper trading environment that you are using? What was your Max DD? These stats with real money and not too high DD would be excellent.

If I may, all this sounds very complicated. Maybe your architecture was not well done at the beginning, or maybe it's a limitation of QT. IMO, you don't do your things all at once and then look at the overall results. You do one thing, wait for the result, and then if the result is what you were...

Depends on what you are trading. Depends on your money management strategy. Calculating compound return in a Spreadsheet is not the real world.

That's a hell of a rig!!!!!

So NYC, Chicago and London are banned? Those are amongst the top finance locations in the world and you can't trade from there?

Ok, fair enough. It seems it didn't work that way with MFF... And even with that 10k payouts, you would still be far from your 6 digits (as opposed to trade your own money off of your hedge fund payouts).
