My orders are always - Reject Odd lot fills -I don't like to be filled partly and be left with 77 shares.
Go play bitcoin please if you can't trade standard lots. Thank you.
My personal opinion is, ( Excluding the bid/ask frontrun algo that is running on the switches hardware itself) a lot of the algos step in front of trains to make money.
That didn't really worked in October :)
> I will do a "live trading" test run against a paper trade account
A live trading test run on a paper trade account, that's a new one, What a joke.
You will find paying customers, I guess there's a sucker born every minute, right.
Why even waste time to see how they trade today?
It's much simpler, you have a teacher selling you a course and he's saying he's been trading for over 10 years? GREAT! SEND ME YOUR TAX RETURNS FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS WITH THE BROKER STATEMENTS OF THE LAST 10 YEARS!
They won't do that. Why...
This must have been the most easy question ever.
Just ask his broker statements for the last 10 years, analyze it and then decide if you want to spend money following him or not.
You won't see it.
Why? Because people who make money don't teach. End of story.
Yes, many people who are in the service, contracting business earn money from day one.
Not many professionals have to be trained 10 to 15 years before they make money in it.
The holy grail is that there is no holy grail
it takes dedication, years of work and plenty of capital
it's probably the most difficult way to make money in life
All other ways to make money are way more easy and have much higher chance of success
