VIX is based on the expected Vol in the S&P market. Now you want to add the NQ into the equation so you need to know the ratio on ES/NQ as well. This may get a bit cumbersome for a simple strategy.

Keep in mind that it's not always a 1:1 ration between VIX and NQ, I see traders adjust this based on the vol of the VIX.

The absurd is that the professionals have to pay more. They are the ones who trade, provide liquidity, and help the volume. Yet, you can be a perpetual paper trader who doodles all day, consume bandwidth and bother tech support because you are bored, and pay nonprofessional. Where is the logic...

I deal with large fx and futures institutes in the USA and Europe and would be more than happy to facilitate you.

QST has one of the better native apps for iPad. Great charts and DOM.

Did you ever consider developing discipline and routine outside of trading in other areas? I quite often see that successful traders developed their discipline outside of trading and "export" it to trading.

You can not do that. I am just trying to give you guidance that when it comes to FCM/IBs, we are highly regulated and although you acted with the best of intentions to help your friend, every transaction must happen by the account holder. These are also exchange rules. As you and your...

Do you trade Futures? Equities? I can provide alternatives but just wanted to know the asset class.

You can not trade for your friend. If you used your friend's credentials to log in, any reasonable compliance officer would do that.

You can use CQG credentials on a number of platforms outside of CQG like Multicharts or TradingView and their trading charting is great. We never ran into an issue that CQG did not have close positions, but we always recommend to check it across your statements that you receive. The other...

"Doom and Gloom" newsletters and preaching are a Marketing Strategy, not a Market Strategy. There are always those who are constant bullish and those who are constant bearish, and those who are willing to sell them their opinion back.

So sad to see how much money is stolen from Crypto exchanges worldwide because it is devastating to the investor. This is far from being regulated. Who knows if these investors were actually delivered XRPs or it was just an accounting entry.

Interesting that people took vocal lessons to be prominent in the firm. I guess I can't even fathom how many related businesses have vanished with the implementation of new electronic trading technology, and how many new businesses are added as a result.

Risk taking is a matter of knowledge. I see young guys trading with an analytical approach, API development, and less of a naive approach than their previous generation about the markets. They had access to the internet since they were born (almost) and took advantage of all the free knowledge...

Some traders have multiple platforms and data feeds, so they get the data from other sources while execution on platforms that may not require the full market depth. I do agree overall with the sentiment though, in the pursuit of reducing costs and data, they do it to their detriment.

Watching real-time quotes does not prepare you for the markets. You will learn more from one week of trading real funds than watching the screen for 5 years.

I read his book "Principles". RD has turned every point in his life to a learning experience and then quantified it. His success is not luck.

I believe that sweat equity, effort, and work ethic that was developed as a result of a struggle will be engraved in one's DNA for future challenges. Pain itself does not make you better because some can recover and many do not.

You are making too many assumptions. The first one is that your method could adopt trailing stops, and that is not true for all methods. In fact, for most beginner day traders and scalpers, I find that placing targets may be more efficient. The second is the ability to backtest trailing...
