Best thing at tradestation:
*Charting: 10 points
*Performance report on trades made: Excellent tool to find out parameters on our own way of trading. What we are doing right and what we are doing wrong.
*Pretty friendly way to place orders on the Matrix. Easy way to look P/L.
The bad...
If you have such tracking record how come you don't have any money.
I mean, how can you find out investor to put $10M on your head if you're such inconsistent.
If you have to ask in a forum a question like the one on the thread title how you expect to fight well in a market with 10M?
I...
well, it should depends where the hedge funds invest in, so it's pretty relative.
That doesn't mean that may be the potential drawdown for the hedge fund is bigger than the potential drawdown you're going to be willing to take.

trading ZN after nonfarm payrrolls came out.
No trades on ES (pretty boring session).
CL looks like it will be good to trade next week
Good Weekend
if you have to decide quick don't do anything. Just pass.
I think a guy who turn an account from 30k to 500k (if the story is real) are headed for disaster (unless he is going to become a great trader (1 in 10millions shot)),
Anyway... if you want to give your portfolio (or some of your...
I imagine (not a prediction, not a call, just doing some thinking) a market gapping up on nonfarm payrrolls tomorrow and then fading the gap. (nothing weird just a 5 points from highs)
Let's see what its going to happen but i think the situation reminds me a few months ago when the market...
If the guy goes from 30k to 500k or 1M trading that way (which is pretty hard to believe) you should sell this guy not buying it.
Its more set to the disaster and lost at least 50% of the gain than made wath he just made.
Great remark.
I think the guy who posted the thread should experience some blood and huge drawdowns to see what we're talking about it.
A 50k should not be traded with 25 or 50 contracts (if allowed by the broker) unless you have 10,20 or 40 times that money as backup on another accounts...
Exactly because if you have $50k and you work with $5k stop if you're wrong and $5k profit if you're right (according to what you said) a few bad trades in a row could erase your account entirely. If you're OK with that no problem then.
I think everything must be progressive.
I mean, when i started i had the wrong thought that if i'm going to trade and im sure about my strategy why i just trade the max available buying power instead of just 1 or 2 contracts.
I know i was stupid and i found out with time that there is a...
