Well, maybe, maybe not. If someone makes money they make money. I'm not judging. With the ES though, a tick target puts you at a big disadvantage, especially buying market, you start off -12.50 plus commission, and you have to pass through two ticks just to make 12.50 minus commission. You'd...

LOL. It might be. I'm having trouble understanding. I get a one tick target, 4 tick stop. I don't get 2-4 then 1-5, then 1-3. Is this just a joke?

That's strange. Usually paper trading fills immediately, but here, your live trading is filling and your paper isn't. I suppose AMP is attempting a smart paper trade, and failing. I've always suspected that AMP doesn't always route it's trades through the exchanges. Kind of like a bucket...

2-4 becomes 1-5?

I'm confused why you would use a trailing stop if your target is 1 tick?

4 tick stop loss, or 4 points?

I think if you could find someone who could prove to you that they actually trade and make money, then they would be a great mentor. But like others have said, if they can trade and make money, then why would they want to mentor anyone for money?

Ah, that's probably it. I don't remember even getting delayed data for free from them though.

My wife just funded an account, it never asked her to subscribe to any data, it shows she has no subscriptions, but yet she has CME and stock data? Never seen this before, is this something new they do?

I didn't see anything for free on their website.

Well, please, you shouldn't have to be told not to trade from your local coffee shop wifi.

I can't imagine why someone would pay for that.

Just a heads up, you do know about the deterioration in 3X efts right? If you don't, you need to learn about that very quickly.

Imagine if you had an indicator that did call the tops and bottoms. Would you keep it a secret or sell it for a monthly subscription? Would companies like Goldman Sachs not offer you millions of dollars for it? I don't believe such an indicator exist, but if it did, you wouldn't have your...

Ouch, wrong yesterday. Going bearish today.

On Friday the ES volume was about 1.5 million, the NQ was about 390,000. How do you define less liquidity?

I don't think the question makes much sense. That would be like saying, hey when you trade aapl do you use dollars or cents for stops?

Feeling bullish today.

Sorry if this thread already exist, but I thought it would be nice to have a spot to talk about TWS, q and a type stuff, setups, apis, etc...

If it works, it works. Usually, the way to find it out, is to trade it with real money and see if you make money, or lose it. If you post your script, I can help you debug it.
