I had used Sterling in the past, and the proprietary software at both firms was slower than what I was used to, and the CPU and memory usage were through the roof. I'm still amazed by Sterling. It barely uses resources, and it's the cleanest and fastest platform I have used. I have also heard...

The last chart is going from 9:31 to 15:57 all day over the last 64 days. 64 days is the most available with this software. I won't start it in real time until 10:00AM. From 9:45 to 10:00, I get decent results, but not great. From 9:30 to 9:45, it's positive, but has pretty bad draw downs...

The only platform I've used at different firms is sterling, and it is consistently very fast. I haven't noticed any difference. Kind of off topic, but I've tried proprietary platforms at a couple of firms, and they didn't come close. I switched to sterling within a couple of months in both...

Thanks SunTrader, but the questions are fair enough. I would wonder the same thing. Yes I have the cash. And I know what you mean. I'm with a firm that gives me 50:1. But I would like to set up a separate account for this strategy and get it automated. Probably with IB, since Trade Ideas...

Evidently you didn't read my post. Buying power isn't an issue. As of next month I'll have been at this for 25 years. So yes, I have that much, and much more. I'm just always searching for something new that I can make more systematic, and less discretionary.

Here's the new one. (Well, long testing a long strategy this time rather than shorting). Again, no stops or targets. Just time stops. I think I partially fixed the liquidity issue. The buying power isn't an issue, it's the number of trades I would have to manage at once while trading...

Ah. Gotcha.

Ya lost me, dude.

I trade a variation of it on a daily basis. The filters are just more selective. The main problem with this one is liquidity. But I may have made an adjustment in the last couple of hours which helps. I'll start forward testing it on Monday while trading the old strat and another one in real...

Good to hear. Thanks.

Part of my back testing verification process is doing a short only simulation on a long only strategy that looks great. Trade ideas drastically over states results when I use profit targets and hard stops, so I do my best at finding a nice smooth curve without either. The following is the...

Nicely done, Dustin. It's nice to see a fellow trader who posted regularly 15 years ago still hanging around and doing well. I know they got tired of the site, but I wish Lescor and Szeven would drop in more often. One quick question. You stated above that you love short dated options. Is...

Trade Ideas also has this. You can sort by position in range, anywhere from 5 minute to lifetime. (Also no affiliation).

I'll send you a PM. I'd rather not share publicly.

Same here. Even after all of these years, I officially suck at discretionary trading.

It feels like it sometimes, but my back testing and actual stats would say no. But I've been doing this for 25 years, so I know how to manage my risk. My safe money is in my roth. Yes it works. When? Mostly just in the first hour or so. I could teach it to my mother, who was an elementary...

It first got halted around noon at $5.65. He is probably just watching for stocks that are up huge, or has a scanner window like I do which tells you whenever a stock gets halted. Halts are all over the place lately. I've seen 10 today.

SGOC?

So much for taking the rest of the summer off. I did more trading in the first hour today than I usually do all day. It's fun trading these crazy stocks. It's interesting how I'll write down levels on stocks and when I turn on their channel, they'll have most of the same levels. Everyone...

Automated mean reversion. Enveloping long and short. It hasn't worked for many years. Literally over 1000 standing orders waiting for volume spikes. I remember being in the office and looking at each other and saying "This is too risky. We can't do this anymore." That was 15 years ago. I...
