Anyone experience something similar? After 4:15 yesterday ( when I get the pdf statement ) , I made several more winning trades, and somehow they think my cash balance is less... Live support says they have to wait till the cash upload is done later today... Never heard of that before...

That's the only way to live.

I use limits for entry and exit (setprofittarget), and market for exit at a certain time.

Yes, I am trading it with my real account right now, only 1 contract of the E-Mini NQ and will report back. So far after 6 days of trading, I have: 1st trade - 90 dollar loss 2nd trade - 10 dollar gain 3rd trade - 50 dollar gain 4th trade - 80 dollar gain 5th trade - 10 dollar loss

Contract - Emini NQ future Exact time is unknown for me as it is automated, therefore I can't say if I was in an order queue. How would I know if it was in a queue? Thanks, as you might infer, that's what we thought. So, someone must have submitted a sell at market order and since my...

I am trading a strategy with a real account and am wondering how I had a fill that was much lower than what I wanted (the program set a buy limit order at a certain price). It turned out to be a profitable trade because the fill was less than my limit and my profit target limit was hit, but a...

I always read everything and take it into consideration. Really thanks for all your advice and reminders. I never said anyone was jealous and I don't wonder why money managers aren't knocking at my door. I couldn't figure out how to get on the TS forums without actually having an account.

You might try channeling your displaced anger energy on something more productive. Calling me stubborn is pretty pointless. I have already admitted that I know there are flaws in the back tests and I know that in order to get fills you have to have the price go through the limit. Using...

From what I can see in the orders tab on my back test, some orders are canceled because the limit price is not touched. I don't use mkt orders cause the backtest always shows entry at the low/high at the entry bar, instead of a predetermined price, like in a limit order. I agree, I am going...

50 day back test....

I realize the serious issues with these back tests. I am going to trade one of my systems - NightOwl (named so because it trades overnight) - for a month and see how it does in real time and see how it does. The program uses limit orders so I really don't understand that point about...

I don't understand the question. Easylanguage is a programming language...

Wow haha... I laugh when I see people displace their anger on others... Making money is rather simple in the market. Here is what you do: 1. use any form of information/analysis at your disposal to create a trading plan. whether it is MACD or the commitment of traders report I don't care...

Very good advice, I still have much more testing and development left in my systems. I am currently running a couple of my strategies on a live demo account across the ES, NQ, YM, Crude Oil, Gold, EuroFX future and Dollar index. The nice thing is I can see my last order entry, as well as where...

Some very good material here but.. I have found that usually the more variables I put into my systems, the worse they perform. KISS principle anyone? Maybe I'm wrong who knows.

Probably a good idea lol.. I have no idea why the time calculations look like that sometimes, but is 100 minutes really that odd? I haven't checked into it. I would do this except the data with OEC is very limited... Of course the longer you can back test the better. Ticking that...

Huh? The last two screenshots factor in commission and slippage. What you are saying doesn't make any sense. If there were such huge losses in the system then why are they net positive? There is a good reason if it looks like the system trades for a single tick or two, that was because during...

and the ES...

This what you were looking for? (This is a back-test of my current project, not the previous ones.)
