Once you’re committed, it’s hard to back out. I’ve read about people writing directly to the IB API, only to later conclude they were a nightmare of a broker for their needs. Invest your time wisely.

Why? It’s a standalone install. Your broker has more information about your trades and performance, but they only benefit from commissions and fees if you stay in the game. If you’re making money, focus on that and enjoy life. Looking over your shoulder every minute just isn’t worth it.

That’s a big problem. Not sure if newer NT is multi-threaded, but either way, the inability to stack multiple strategies at tick level is not good. I don’t operate beyond trade/tick level, but I’ve read about MC users trying to manage order book dynamics. Personally I don’t think it’s viable...

I’m running their procedural based Powerlanguage version. MC made so many enhancements to their PL version, way beyond what Tradestation can do, that I’d estimate you can do 99% of anything their .NET version is capable of. I like the simplicity of PL, and it fits my needs. I’ve never tested...

You still make it sound like an easy feat, which is far from the truth. I’m on the fence regarding Trump as our president. I find him to be a horrible humanitarian, and role model. I’m no diehard, but was left with choice A, B, or none.

This is a coding issue, as I’ve never experienced it with MC. I’ve found it to very robust and stable at automated execution. If NT earned your trust, I wish you the best. Just stating my opinion based on them trying to corner clients into their brokerage. P.S. Also an experienced, and highly...

When you parlay one milllon to billions, come back here and school us on Trumponomics. Until then you’re just ET piker shoe-shine boy.

Exactly. I never understood why people nickel and dime around this shit. I purchased lifetime licensing and additionaly spent 5-10k on programming and customization. If anything, I feel like I’ve cheated them, as they constantly support and update the software for no extra cost.

So true. 10,000 spectators and analysts for every 1 superstar. Easier to just sit, watch, and shoot your mouth around, than put your nose the grindstone.

For the same price, you’re much better off with Multicharts, which is 100% broker and data vendor independent. Why get hostaged into NT brokerage? Makes no sense. That’s a horrible business model which will lead to their demise, as competing and open source platforms aim to offer flexibility.

A male escort service??

You're comparing a Ford Focus to a Cadillac :)

@Spectre2007 Your making it a lot harder than it is:)

Even three points puts you in the meat grinder with recent months volatility. At minimum, double that, and forget about 1:4 RR intraday. Just try to stay on the right side of the market and take what you can get. Greed kills

I couldn’t stop laughing after watching a commercial for this website on FOX News. https://www.darkpoolsecrets.com/

No it doesn’t. Anything can happen on any given day. Day of week IMO is irrelevant in designing a trading plan.

Here is some serious microtesting: I don’t run this stuff, as it’s way overpriced for my purposes, but it’s quite fascinating.

That’s actually another best kept secret. Most microtrading methods that work can only be forward tested.

If you want real results, you need to get real. That means experience, hard work, and structure. No more dreaming of triple digit gains with 10k accounts. I analyze multiple frameworks of time, and excluding IRA’s, only run intraday systems. Here is a YTD comparison of my returns: Buy/Hold...

No such thing as a confirmed dip until after the fact of market breaking higher. No shortage of dipshits though.
