    Slippage with different brokers

    I don't want to be a dick, but if I was an investor, and I knew that you didn't actually know why your fills aren't what you think they would be, and if I knew you were asking if the system should be going for a market order 2 seconds after not getting filled or 10 seconds, I would be concerned...

    Round 2...fiat chrysler next up after vw !!!!!

    I like how finally, some executives are being charged, and one I even believe was arrested at the airport. The norm these days is that a corporation can do anything because supposedly there is nobody to charge. They never even have to admit fault, just pay a fee. I do wonder if anyone will...

    EPA: Fiat Chrysler software enabled emissions cheating

    If its anything like the VW, its exactly as you say. You claim a certain MPG and other performance metrics that are impossible to achieve. When the car is being tested, the software will know, and hence will ensure that emissions will be low, but performance won't be there. These tests won't...

    Thanks for taking the time to post this. Seeing the details of the trades answers many questions.

    Trader PnL 2017

    Oh... I guess the way your platform reports average price its almost as if you were scaling in/out. So if lets say you had 2 trades, one goes long at 2050 and get 2 points, and second goes long at 2060, and gets 2 points, it would be like a long at 2055 average, and exit at 2057 average, even...

    Trader PnL 2017

    Out of curiosity, are you scaling into the trade and scaling out? And are you only scaling into winners of averaging down? Also, what would you say your win rate is. You've posted 2 great PnL's two days in a row, but how would a typical 10 or 20 day run look?

    Slippage with different brokers

    I fine this post funny, even though you said its serious, because you expect the general yahoo ET community to actually have a clue? If you are really trading 200 ES contracts, then hardly anyone here has a clue. If you know who has a clue, meaning you know you is legit, then just ask them...

    ES Journal - 2017/2018

    Because Handle123 is full of it. Every month or so he is creating another new system. He also makes them from his hospital room, as he mentioned, and makes them while he is getting a Starbucks. If he really wants to help his friend out, why not just share one of the many systems he already...

    Trader PnL 2017

    I don't actually agree with this. I think it all depends on the instrument. Consider the ES today which barely had a 7 point move from the high to the low. Assume a couple of trades, maybe for 3-4 points each, which is extremely generous, so a total of 10 points lets say, and this would mean...

    How long did it take for you to find/discover your trading edge?

    Here is the thing with proper money management. In the hands of an amateur trader, this will save his ass so much that it seems like a holy grail. In the hands of a pro, its not really thought of as an edge because its second nature, absolutely essential, and had already been learned long ago...

    Advice on paper trading....

    The whole point of taking a few real trades is really to test yourself. Of course having a strategy which has an edge helps, but honestly, I would imagine most traders would say that they had moments where all the best plans we completely overlooked. The way it works in trading is that you...

    I'm not the one making claims, simple as that.

    FINALLY passed TopstepTrader's Combine!

    I always find it funny when members here jump on someone who shows they are struggling (and in this case, we don't even know yet what his update is), but at the same time, show nothing of their own trading. I have actually tried to go back through a bunch of your posts and haven't come up with...

    Since you're obviously promoting the site, why don't you tell us about any coupons and the differences.

    what happened to the chat rooms?

    ET doesn't need more publicity. The problem at the core, in my opinion, is dishonesty and misalignment of goals. Far too many posters on here aren't posting to genuinely share knowledge with those who genuinely want to receive knowledge. I can respect at least those guys who say flat out that...

    Collective2 hiked their fees - anywhere else to go?

    Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I was curious to ask about your strategy. You say its a solid strategy, but when looking at the stats, a few things stand out. I see you're taking profits of anywhere from about $10 to $40 or so. What concerns me is the drawdown that some of...

    Tim Morge and the well-chosen example

    Very often you read that you want to see how a trader handles the losing trades. Now I'm not stupid enough to waste time going through the videos to look to see if he mentions any of these, but it would be important to note what he does in cases like this. You see, one of the troubles with ET...

    Tim Morge and the well-chosen example

    Well I wanted to hear what he was doing supposedly in real time, but it was quite obvious that his powers of hindsight helped him with the fairy tale trading.

    Tim Morge and the well-chosen example

    There is about 9 minutes of my life that I wasted. (I say 9 minutes because I watched it at 1.5x speed and it was still ridiculous) First of all, as you say, well chosen example, and hindsight chart analysis is what it is. But here is the big thing. There is no mention of the limit down...

    Annual ET Party

    No clue about that. They seem to post replies to news articles and stuff, but that looks like blatant spamming (ie. I made 10k this week sitting at home eating pie). Not sure if they actually try to engage in a conversation though.
