There is no "2011 PnL thread" in the journal section. Either day trading is dead, moved to another forum, or all those winning traders are now losing and are back to the drawing board.

you need to forward test to account for slippage and volitality. I have seen stocks that you have described rip more than 50 cents in an instant due to all the orders rushing in at the open. You will get conned on market orders this is certain. forward test with small size its the only...

Good Luck Neke this year!! I always read your thread its very informative. Keep it up! Hopefully volatility explodes and you can nail that 7 digit year! Through thick and thin just know that there are genuine people on this board who are wishing you much success this year. Ignore the...

Anyone have a pairs platform that will connect to sterling trader, or an excel spreadsheet that can connect. doing some research on intraday pairs trading. thanks.

thanks for the good read. This reminds me of a trader I once knew. He would only trade during lunch time and would use massive buying power to push the market around, normally high priced low volume stock. 5 digit PnL swings was normal for this guy. In and Out in about 20 mins. Supply and...

Any trader who uses leverage and trades in size subjects themselves to a blow out...anyone who traded long during the 'flash crash' probably didn't think that was ever going to happen, but it did...I guess that's how the game goes.

I'm assuming in an office because I'm looking to get backed by the firm. I have yet to find a firm that will back a remote trader, unless your a big trader like Szeven. I'm getting a bank roll together so if I don't a firm then I will back myself and trade remote, I would much rather do it...

I have been out of the trading game for about a year now and was wondering if anyone knows any prop firms hiring at the moment. Downtown Toronto would be nice but I'm willing to commute. Sterling Trader Pro is a first choice but any DMA platform is fine with me. I still have yet to contact...

As long as a black swan event doesn't wipe out 100% of your account, you can live to trade/play another day. Say your a market maker and can average down on size in a market that is .50 cents deep (based on daily atr). Well you would ensure that you can go $1.00 deep to withstand any outlier...

bump for programming quote...

he didn't beat my high score

thanks for your help! :) I really would like this coded into trade link or maybe even excel? I think excel can handle what i am trying to accomplish here i just dont know where to begin. would it be easier if i made this semi-automated where when i launched i just launched the bids and...

the logic looks like this : 1. launch 2. receive tick 3. launch bids (send limit orders from the best national bid then offset down from best national bid) so if the best national bid is 14.50 then it would send limit orders for 14.50 - 100 shares 14.49 - 100 shares 14.48 -...

So i want to program a simple strategy in tradelink and have no idea where to begin. Its a very simple strat where I want to launch limit buy orders from the NBBO down, anywhere from 1 cent to 1 dollar and want the position to exit at predefined profit target based on profit per share (1...
