Just so you know. That trailing drawdown is the MAIN THING any fund is looking at when evaluating you. ;) It makes the MOST SENSE to have this in place and it's the MAIN thing that separates the "men from the boys", so to speak. Portfolio volatility is everything. And yes, 99,99% of traders...

If you're a novice trader and a novice coder, you need to define a reason why you want to go algo? Algo IS pretty much the only way but i doubt your strategy will reflect that. So, ask yourself, why do you need algo trading in the first place? What edge do you have in front of others? Who's...

reqouting (financial engineering through spreads across asset classes derivatives) for as long as someone is willing to buy high or sell low.

Yep, it's USD strength. Mostly because EUR and JPY are keen on protecting their bond market so it's done at the expense of the currency. Central Bank manipulation to the max so to speak. You don't want to see Italian yields @ 5%+ but you can't really make anything out of EURUSD trading at...

Hey Self, a question. You are trading the 150k account on E2T? why did you choose that instead of a 25k account? (sorry if it's a stupid question, i'm new to these "pay to play" challenges.)

That would make sense if the buyer wasn't Musk :)

aint that the truth.

cause...it doesn't...have...230M daily users? :)

well, i meant it. I don't have time for these games.

probably yeah, could start his own. some underdog platform magically gets a new hype out of nowhere. after being funded ofc :)

That guy has over 100M+ followers on twitter. He IS twitter bascically, so why would he ever buy it (read: give someone else money for the value he himself creates?). If he leaves twitter and starts posting somewhere else, what do you think is the twitter value going to be then?

that is true. I am struggling. but good luck on your journey. I mean well. Cheers.

nah, my feelings are not hurt (even with all the offense,lol). I blame social media in general :) a multi billion fund would allocate a 100M to you, i'm sure you won't have a capacity problem there. You'd be making 7 figures every year for yourself without even risking your own money. nice...

i wonder why noone wants to prove they can trade, but are so keen on talking how well they know how they trade, tho. Your Sharpe and returns are waaayy beyond funds that manage billions and yet here you are, not wanting to prove you're a talent :) it's like you hate money and yet want to be a...

yeah... here's a fun idea. Why don't you post your live trade ideas here. You know, live calls, position sizes relative to account size on each trade, SL and TP's. Let's see how it goes :) since there's no market impact. Let's all win together :)

Again, agree to disagree. Your stops are never invisible to parties that make the markets. And that's what matters. You don't think brokers and investment banks communicate with each other? i wonder why noone ever asks why the spreads and commissions are practically zero :) But i'm in no...

Not actively screwing you, it's about being a best bid or offer. If u're on the right side and after you bought there's buyers willing to buy higher than you, you're good. But yeah, lets just agree to disagree. Cheers.

If you can figure out when and where someone is doing something to front run him...sure. Though he can't be smarter than you then because a smart guy would know that there would be guys frontrunning that liquidity. So, why would a smarter guy take that hard road?

I was generalizing, it's the same eventually. In 90%+ of the time your other side is an agent, not a trader like you having the exact opposite view at the SAME time. Think about it, if it's so obvious to be long at major support then who the hell is selling there to get you filled? btw, you're...

My point was rather that, blindly having higher RR does not make your strategy better. If you have a 1:1 RR and win 6 times out of 10, then having a 1:2 RR will net you no more than 3 wins per 10 with the same strategy. There's no edge in simply lifting RR. There IS edge, however, in higher...
