Yes, I think it does matter. Even on mainstream trades on big instruments (and I'm not big) the market can give me only partial fills on even 100k trades. And then chase has to begin. Trading x10 would be a bother. I like to trade afterhours sometimes, and that's very trade size dependent...

Ty for these insights. 6% is impossible by my standards. I sometimes use creditcard and resent paying 2% pm. However, my creditcard is really sharing the risk in the same way. I think this addresses a key point, that's hard to express. From my POV, with my own money, I can't afford to...

Ty, Yes, I think that's a really major understated issue. I almost feel fortunate not to trade OPM in light of this. Volume quickly becomes an issue. There's also, for me, an extra weight or responsibility trading OPM, perhaps like driving someone else's car, I don't feel OK about taking...

Ty for the reply. Unfortunately, they cater for MT5 trading on forex and some CFD equity indexes and major stocks. I require other futures, than what they provide for < If you're using a mathematical and skill approach, it's fairly high probability that what you're doing should work on nearly...

Ty for the reply, regardless of the individuals tastes and preferences for batting averages etc, I'm more concerned with what the avenue is for funding, i.e. say it did have the track record you expect. No, I have sufficient trading capital to get by on, not flourish on, obviously it depends...

Hi All, Attached are my results, I have achieved similar live trades for years. But what can I do about funding? I've looked into the BS prop funding and they're glorified scams. There ought to be a funding solution, please let me know of one

That's perfect! Exactly what I was looking for many thanks for the lead

Thank you for the suggestion of Bloomberg TV though it might be "too much", I'm not really looking for a re-cap or extended commentary, more like a one liner, a headline e.g. "Brainard indicated that the central bank could soon slow the pace of its interest rate increases."

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try them. I hope they come out with an audio when the fed members like Bullard speak, that moves the market a lot but might be a bit too "off the cuff" to be a proper news event

Hello All What is the best, affordable source of up-to-the-moment market commentary: Ideally: 1) Realtime, the sort of thing traders would use who "trade the news" ie pounce on the CPI report or a fed member talking etc 2) Affordable 3) Linked to IB (they offer hundreds of services), attached...

I agree they're dangerous trades; its not a long-term entry point, only a day. I think the influences largely cancel one another making it random but for the fact that IV mean reverts and correlations have to exist thru all the whims.

According to my model, I ought to be in here, long at 91.30, or actually the EOD price at the end of the US session, 90.66. But I'm not in, I"m too rattled with the preceeding stop.

And stopped out at 91.97 for -218bp, erasing most gains over the last 2 days I'm going to look into the relevance and timing of the Oil news events

Just got filled at 94.15

I'm out as per the TP on that chart, at 95.40, for 120 pips Attempting to re-enter long at 94.15 and then take it for another 120 pips

analysis of charts? Attached is a chart with my TP and SL. As noted above, "I'm not much of a chart reader but respect the fact others can be good at this art."

I'm continuing to trade for the next day in at 94.21 long (just now)

This was an early exit, I intended to hold til 94.90, I lose my nerve, looking at the screen too much, my focus narrows into the tick by tick torture

And out for 93 pips gain at 94.63
