It is a very good suggestion.

I could never learn to scalp CL. Could you please send this PM to me as well. I assume there is something of value in it regarding trading CL intraday. Thanks nod.

5min and DOM is always open on my system for my intra-day trading. I am always looking at it during RTH. However, for this thread, I am only looking at hourly and daily. I wanted to experiment with other markets as well in this thread and that was the main purpose of this thread to diversify...

Thanks for checking out the thread :) What you say is generally true and important for intra-day trading. Effect of commissions is very small for swing trades. However, to make it absolutely accurate, I agree a 4$ round-trip commission should be added. Slippage is not necessary since all...

I suggest you start a new thread to compare MC with NT. That way, both this and the other thread (that you start) will not lose focus, and hopefully we will get a good discussion going. I will try to contribute on the other thread, however I have never used NT, so my inputs will be sparse at...

NEW TRADE: Short 3 ES at 1756

seems the right trade, but target should be less than 40, imo.

This thread has the potential to become one of hall of fame threads!!!

how much money do you have in your account? what do you trade - equities or futures? with whom do you trade - retail or prop firm?

Great video...Thanks.....btw, its not about a hft trader that blew up, rather its about a hft firm that blew up. This guy was CEO of that hft firm :)

Bob, you will turn out to be a successful index futures trader. Its a given. Might take some time though. Good luck :)

I think it is extremely poor judgement who pronounced these two manual traders guilty. Every HFT firm does it using computers. Btw, can you help me find the published version of that strategy? Couldn't locate the doc from googling. Thanks.

that used to happen after internet disconnect. If you close the chart and reopen it, the problem used to correct. Don't know why IB engineers didn't rectify it. Can't be that hard to solve!! Anyways, you starting to sim trade ES/NQ futures, Bob? Good luck!!

Lights - did you end up following the approach you recommended in this thread? How did the experiment of taking only the choicest of trades in real forward testing pan out actually?

Thanks for putting in your recommendation. Agreed, indeed MC is a good trading software offering, their customer service is pretty good. MC Team: Wanted to let you know that I will come back in Feb 2014 and do a 1 year-on-year review of what all you have accomplished from my first post above...

I read his book - pretty cool. I highly recommend it. Apart from his entrepreneurial skills, being able to take the right risk, being able to identify a glaring need in the market place and fulfill it, exploiting his network among investment banks, a critical thing that helped him start this...

195 views but no critiques!!! Probably the noob options crowd got excited by the title but din't have much to share whereas pros thought this is a ridiculous idea, not worth their time to comment :eek: :eek:

a candy from me if you stick to 20 flawless executions.

bring back the old color scheme. New logo is kinda ok, but previous one was not bad either

2 pts = 100$ per day., 10 contracts = 1000$ per day. Close to hedge fund analyst salary. PLUS free time to do whatever you want or discover and implement new edges. doesn't sound bad. Make it 20 contracts, and you are looking at close to double the hedge fund salary
