I truly like your approach and your posts about this topic. Thank you for taking the time to write with such details. Also, I agree with you about the quantity of losing trades, and I can add that pros may go through prolonged stagnant periods and experience a large sequence of losing trades. I...

I appreciate that you shared your experience. If I may ask: How do you find the concept of variance as it relates to trading? I find that Poker players realize that they have to give up most cards, just as good traders realize that there will be many losing trades. I just wanted to hear your...

You are very welcome. Glad it helps you.

What I meant is that the number of losing trades and length of drawdowns would vary from trader to trader.

I have seen many drawdowns and I can not say that one is similar to another as they all have different "colors". While I respect your opinion and experience, one should not try and imitate the drawdown of another trader in terms of % or the number of losing trades.

Yes, your mental game will play a big role in trading especially when you are going through tough periods. As I said, there is no magical way to handle losses, and when it's your first drawdown many do not know whether their method stopped working, the market is choppy/trending and/or other...

Make sure you have enough capital to go through the drawdown. All the sarcastic comments you will see here is because every trader goes through it. Was your question how to eliminate losing trades (hope not!) or how to handle it psychologically?

We have access to a lot of software and risk settings, so let's try and explore one that applies to your needs. As I mentioned, please reach out, I promise that will only help. All our numbers are below.

Excellent point! You just have to be sure that any cancellation of orders on Firmsoft has to be matched on the trading platform as well.

It is extremely unfortunate when this happens and I truly understand the pain. I advise every single trader to have the number of the trading desk handy to try and minimize the damage, call your broker, or whatever is necessary to flatten positions.

I will guide you through technology, execution, and reporting. You will be ok.

We know Rithmic well, and if you need help, reach out.

If TT has this functionality all FCM that work with TT could enable it. AMP, ADM, Wedbush, etc. You just have to ask the risk guys to enable it

If this is set by the trader, this may bring you many users.

Thank for this info. Is this set on the FCM side or customer?

Not going into a sales pitch over here. everything is on our site www.optimisfutures.com

Hello @def, There was no reason to unleash such an angry post. I respect competition in the market place and believe that in a competitive market place, both customers and businesses do better. When I say "most," it was a compliment and testament to your exposure to the different media outlets...
