I think that it is possible. I actually think in fact that it would be foolhardy to hold positions overnight since there is so much potential for disaster. To my thinking intraday trading represents far less naked risk to a trader. I think the only sure way to generate intraday returns is to...

Your preaching to the converted on that one ... but still I long to hit that guy square between the eyes for all its worth.

im thinking just times the percentage number by number of events ... in this case 750 but im not to sure either.

Sorry i mean what percentage it would lose more than 5 times assuming 750 separate event cycles...

not sure yet how to calculate that percentage into a meaningful figure for how what percentage it would lose in 750 separate events.

0.0000003125 percent chance of losing 5 times in a row ( 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05)

Im getting 0.000234375 percent chance of it occuring in 750 separate events.

As i see it 0.05 * 0.05 *0.05 *0.05 *0.05 * 0.05 * 750 = the probabilty f it happening 5 times in a row in 750 separate events.... please correct me if im wrong here.

Wow thats much better...

Ok thats much better than id worked out. Its clearer now... Thanks for that I understand how to work it out

.05 * num_in_row = prob of losing n in a row =0.05 * 5 *750= 18.75

So if theres a 5 percent chance of losing and I do it 750 times in a row the chance of it losing 5 times in a row is 18.75?

Ok I have a question that im not a great enough mathmetician to work out so maybe someone out there knows the answer. Say theres a system and 95 percent of the time it wins. How do I calculate the probability that it will lose twice in a row. Three times. Or how about what is the probability...

I definitely think one of the biggest hurdles to overcome is lack of good information. Id go so far as to say that if you dont have a mentor to show you the ropes so to speak your chances of success diminsh by a huge amount. Basically your reduced to fumbling through a minefield of mistakes...

Yes ive now read the rules a little more thouroughly and am fairlty sure ive answered all my own questions. However whats less clear is wheter you have to have an IB account or whether they just gift you a paper trading account in order to trade with. Anybody know the answer to this. Im still...

Oh also if you could previously demonstrate that you were a student at a university but arent currently enrolled and only completed the first year what would happen then.

Def can you answer a couple questions if you dont mind... 1. Could the student use another persons simulation account in order to trade if they dont have one thmselves and dont want to spend 10k getting one. 2. Could the ATS have been programmed by someone else or would it have to have...

All im saying is that im examining the time and sales and time and again theres size going through at my buy or sell stop and yet im being filled a tick above or below my buy or sell stop. so in other words im getting crappy fills when im only trading one lot and yet theres size going through at...

I was wondering. If im routinely being filled with slippage and the time and sales indicate that trades went through without slippage at the same time without slippage what sort of recourse I may have against my broker. Basicaly there is a trend I am noticing for there to be slippage applied to...
