I used C2 for day trading ES, as the trader. I lasted 4 days. The fills are at best inconsistent and at worse delayed up to a few minutes. About 60% were perfect, 20% were delayed about 5-20 seconds, then the other 20% were completely off. Those last 20% were either delayed by minutes or...

Larger time frames for signals, shorter time frames for order execution. The particular time frames you use are based on your strategies.

Exactly. Vacuous!

Fecundity's arguments such as: All things are possible The above is itself possible Therefore all things are possible. I.e. Those things which are vacuous or have no value. ;) But to the OP. There are many who say react, don't predict. Predict here meaning, acting on what you think will...

IB TWS allows font sizing, so it really is not an issue. I shrunk mine down act Yep, but I did it anyways. Once rule I try to follow is anything I use a lot or do a lot, I go high quality. How is the dot pitch on the TV? Can you use it OK being 18"-24 inches away? The 40" monitor is...

I think these quotes are telling: Hope as a strategy: "Titus, a 38-year-old butcher in Salem, Oregon. “You know, you win some, you lose some. Hopefully, win more than lose" Ignorance as Risk management: Maximus “I guess you never know,” he reflects. “That’s part of the risk you take.” Lots...

5K x 2K. Dell UltraSharp 40-Inch Curved WUHD Monitor: U4021QW | Dell USA Was considering the 4x ultra super wide 1440 style: Dell UltraSharp 49 Inch Curved Dual QHD Monitor: U4919DW | Dell USA But the 2k extra height is nice. Not enough to get another complete chart in there, or stack...

Focusing on $ or any other goal instead of the methods or using the tools correctly is the issue. Learn your tools so well they are burned into your head. Know their limits. Then focus on doing the right thing with them. Results will follow. Frankly it sounds like you need a foundation of...

How did this work out last night?

Slow but sure is the way. Don't expect anything but work and stay on paper until consistent. Sample sizes are in the hundreds. Use the archives (hall of fame) here and review all.

I actually am a philosopher. I got my degree from UC Davis! But I never took the Ethics courses....:banghead:

You nailed it on using someone else system. Unless you know all the details, especially the exceptions and their combinations, you lose enough "edge" that you end up neutral or worse. It is like having a sharp knife. Yeah you can "Ginsu" thin slice a tomato, but it does not mean you can...

It is pretty easy these days top go from Sim to Live with small size, Micros or fractional shares. One should get live as soon there is traction.

:caution: There are a lot of moving parts to a day trading strategy. :caution: First you identify some parts, then many*. Then you assemble them together into a system. Then you try to use them correctly. Things change underneath some times. Sometime you upgrade parts or modify them and...

Why do you care? Seriously. You want to use someone else's methods? Free advice: Get over this phase quickly without spending too much time or money, or just quit now.

All this searching for the "easy" is a tell tale of a mindset. Perhaps choose what is harder for you, and then put in your time. Then the "easier" one for you will be a piece of cake. ;) The most successful people I know, choose the hardest, world class problems to work on. They don't go...

Entertaining read. Again reminds me of trading with too much hubris. What was that saying about an honest days work? The Xbox Gift Card Fraud: Inside a $10 Million Bitcoin Virtual Currency Cheat (bloomberg.com)

14 years before I am profitable. Fortunately through that time I broke even after comms. OP should just admit, it is either too much work, would take too long or beyond their ability. If you cannot consider that is the most probable description, you should not try because it will be beyond...

The issue is your personal "devolving", not the number of trades. Don't underestimate the mental effort trading requires. Artificially filtering the trades your system offers you is going against your system. When you can take all appropriate trades and never tilt, the number of trades is...
