Sorry, but I don't have time to scan all ET posts to find answers to your questions (so, they aren't rhetorical!). And btw, how these questions have to do with the fact that your advices are worthless if you aren't profitable? If you don't know how to cook, don't tell others how to cook. It's...

You should start a new thread asking those questions to all ET members (if you really want to know the answer, or maybe it was just a rhetorical question). I think that we're far from the original thread topic here...

Proof of your ability to make money will not make anyone else rich. BUT, proof of your ability to make money will make your advice valuable. Otherwise, your words are just worthless.

"Pick up some money..."??? Who's doing that these days? Like the guy is receiving cash money for his algo?

Lost amount by itself doesn't mean anything. Losing $130k on $10M is nothing (1.3%). Losing $130k on $200k is a hell of a loss (65%)...

You should try one of these next time you have a losing opened position and come back here with the final result. Oh wait, you're not trading with real money yet don't you?

Maybe you should ask yourself why you need to reach to the customer service so often? I don't remember the last time I had to contact my broker customer service, and I'm day trading.

What makes you say that IB was the one in error and the other source the good one? And btw, NYSE stop orders are triggered at the exchange, not at the broker level. Seems like you are trying to find an excuse for your losses....

Who the hell would want to go to Afghanistan?

I've done extensive analysis on how IB paper trading environment is filling orders (on Futures trading instruments). I've used IQFeed real time market data. Limit orders are ALWAYS put at the end of the queue. So it means that it simulates the worst case. Example: Market is .20 -.25 You put a...

The way you wrote it, it was like: SL 16100, TP 16400. Usually in trading we are only referring to the most significant part.

You could also answer your question first (for a change).

There are already 2 advices in those sentences....

Filtering a signal only remove the so called 'noise' and smoothen the result. It usually doesn't sharpen anything. And besides, when you say 'improve MAs', what's the impact on trading results?

In a coin toss situation, the $ of win and the $ of loss are equal, there is no difference. In trading, it's not the case, cause we're buying at the offer and selling at the ask. So the spread makes the $ for losses more than the $ for wins. On top of that, the market can move quickly making the...

Enlighten us of your great knowledge then. If it's not trend following, then what? What do we need to do?

So after 30 years of experience, you still don't have a defined trading plan? No wonder why you are still struggling... You need to start learning something....now.

Retail flows are the bread and butter of the pros (prop firms, HFTs, market makers, etc.). That's why PFOF is so juicy. If it wouldn't be the case, PFOF would not exist. And also, that's why most of the trading rules favored retails (Public Customers). Retail traders complaining about being...

So, if I got this thing right, you want your signal to be automated, but still want to trade manually? Is that it? I'm not saying this is a bad idea (I did the same 14 years ago as a step-by-step approach!), but why not going full automated? On you second option, how much are you willing to pay...
