    Help me find the best trading platform - Thanks

    How long have you been an experienced, consistently profitable trader? For what you are asking, something is incongruent. Last time I checked margin was 4-1 for stocks. With only 10,000.00 you would fall under the PTD rules. You are either messing around here or a newbie. Come on who...

    TopStep Combine- Starting 10/29

    I haven't read this thread from the beginning but do yourself a favor just don't mention anything about price action. Say it was luck, tea leaves, darts you get the idea, you know something reasonable, if you mention something outlandish like price action you will be hounded for your heresey...

    Surf's Special Situation Journal

    Seems obvious to me why a stop degrades system performance. Because it does what it is supposed to do, stop a trade going against you. If you don't have a stop then (if price goes against your postilion) you only have a paper loss, assuming you have enough to not get a margin call, and enough to...

    Is this statement in reference to the 95% that fail?

    Those are charts? I thought Ammo was reading a sanitized version of fifty shades of Grey, with all that nipple and cleavage talk.

    Surf's Special Situation Journal

    Even if a pattern did constantly repeat that does NOT go hand in hand with the outcome being constant. The only constant in trading is the requirement to be flexible in our thinking. Every pattern, structure, whatever you want to call it, is made up of different traders, with different...

    Thanks for the chart. It appears that the tick size is .01, is that correct? Also what is the value per tick, on the ICE website I thought the tick size was .05 with a value of $18.75 per tick.

    tick = .05 = $18.75? Would you mind posting a 1 min. chart.

    That is funny, the long term chart I was referring to was a 2 day chart. Maybe i need to expand my horizons.

    Ammo, I was looking at my longer term chart and noticed all of the action that has centered around the 92.35 - 92.55 area (Dec). On your charts that would be what? If anything?

    There was a thread on here awhile back regarding IB and the sweep. I don't know the final outcome but it seemed like there was the possibility that you were not covered it you traded just futures with IB. I thought you were a part of that thread? Ring a bell?

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    That's funny I would say the exact opposite, but phrase it this way: If risk isn't defined then you are gambling, IMO gamblers are seeing through greedy glasses.

    So because someone chooses not to participate in a paper trading controlled environment you "put" them in the TA deluded camp. So where do we "put" someone who did participate in a paper trading controlled environment and their ending balance is less than their starting balance? In...

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    I guess it depends on your trading style. If you are a day trader, scalper... need to be flat at the end of the day, how else would you do it? How is a stop not fixed? Fixed as in, here is my line in the sand. If you move it to give yourself more wiggle room than it's not really a stop...

    Shhh, just wait, set the bait and they will bite. OK am biting, who ever said "never lose", come on Surf, play it straight. You know that has never been said or implied. I think you must have a monthly quota for ET, post inflammatory comments, get responses (guilty) and if you meet your...

    If you don't primarily use price/fundamentals/news to trade, what do you use?

    In all seriousness, your last post, I actually understood (I think) what you were saying.
