If in that post you meant the speed of fills I haven't noticed any difference transitioning from demo to live. I don't think this is a execution issue or your order being at the back of the line. It's probably just lazy coding. Back in 2008, broker platforms were not very sophisticated so if...

I am just not having much luck when it comes to timing. I would enter into a cooling off period, blow my account and the next day or so 3 stocks run 1000%. The best thing that has ever happened to me was WIMI and EQ for a 300% gain in my account but that's about it. Obviously, I wasn't able...

Exactly, that was for tradingsim. (Reason, I don't use it anymore.) Not the current sim I am using. It does not have those features.

I think you might've misunderstood the wording. The sim is set to mimmick everything in the real-time platform but 15 minutes in the past. It's not like you place an order and it gets filled 15 min later or the charts/lvl 2 are showing 15m delayed data from what the price currently is. I don't...

I have tried other simulators and find the one my broker offers to be the most realistic for me. It is delayed by 15 min. However, I only trade and use what I see in my platform and don't use social media, news or anything else to give me an unfair "hindsight" advantage. With past simulators...

I have not seen any hints that tell me their simulator gives me any technical advantages over their platform in a live account. One thing you've mentioned are partial fills. I don't get that in sim but it's not a game changer. I only get partial fills approximately 1 out of 50 trades. The...

The debate is actually whether or not an investor who mimmicks the trades of someone who is profitable paper trading real-time have the same success but with real money.

I use a simulator offered by my broker starting with $1000 and 4x margin. It's exactly the same when trading in a real account with my broker. Technically speaking! The only difference is you don't have to manually locate shares and your orders don't affect the level 2 but I don't think that...

As an investor or trader? If you mean the latter. I have thought about C2's web entry, going into proprietary trading or even having my own subscription service alerts. All of them just seem very farfetched. Any suggestions or am I just stuck having to trade my own money while being under...

95% traders lose money daytrading. But almost everyone makes money paper trading. I have turned $1000 into 10000%+ consistently over a few months paper trading. So I am wondering why don't investors just mirror trades of those profitably paper trading without emotions instead of those trading...

She says she handed the visa and my brother confirmed it. So unless somehow the cashier swapped visa's then gave the right card back to her which seems improbable. Just call it a mystery unsolved. Not gonna complain about my mom getting a free gift card. :)

Yeah, that's what I thought so I edited my comment. I don't think she is the kinda person to forget about paying.

For that to happen, my mom would have to forget to hand her her card as well so a little farfetched. Maybe something close to that though. Walmart cashiers are likely not the sharpest bunch.

She had the receipt. They gave her a gift card because they couldn't credit back into her CC since the numbers didn't match. It's either a cashier mistake, system error or my mom got confused and used a different card but she insists that was not the case. So idk!

Nope, she is a tech idiot. She wouldn't know how to by this method.

Her card was never charged. She has like 3-4 gold visas and none of them matched her purchase and the Wal-mart manager reimbursed a gift card to her instead so basically she just got a gift card for free. How exactly this occurred is beyond me. (I wasn't with her at the time.)

My mother returned a humidifier for a refund at Wal-Mart. Apparently, the cashier somehow accidentally swiped/or used a visa from another customer when she purchased it. She got got a free gift card for the price of the humidifier. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

The move was not surprising and rather quite predictable. I just didn't have funds to go crazy on it. Deposit arrives late tomorrow. (Always bad luck with timing.) I even said to myself on Wednesday that tomorrow was gonna be a day of fomo.

Was scalping smallcaps with up to 200% leverage. Did very good at the start where I turned $500 into $3600 in 3 days. Then a bad day came up (where I also messed up my hotkeys) and blown 90% of my account. That's when I decided I needed to take risk management more seriously. Decided, I will...

Relative volume is not available in premarket. Not even scanners have them.
