I find that as I get closer to pulling the trigger, my eyes tend to gravitate towards leve2. It's like dropping to the lowest timeframe possible. I remember what the chart looks like and what the candle will look like once certain levels are cleared. I'm neither professional nor single tick...

Thank you. Same to you. Sounds like we will both need lots of it :)

I understand. I'm looking for low latency equities market data and co-lo. Willing to barter :)

If you got the capital to bring them to life, we can build a team right here on ET.

As long as they share a common vision. Do you have one?

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. LOL. Just kidding(sort of) ... could be a Win-Win situation!

You've come to the right place then :) May I ask you why you are looking for someone that wants to trade instead of someone who will simply code for you? I assume if you pay someone to code for you, you don't want them to trade at the same time.

In such case, when does psychology/emotions come in play for you? I have no problems running fully automated system on intra-day timeframe as it just does what it's supposed to and I only monitor for outages or any abnormal behavior(overtrading, pnl swings, position sizes, etc)

How did you do that? You went through charts from previous days? I find it removes the context out of the picture. Don't you ever override your system based on current conditions? Lots of it is gut feel, but maybe that's the problem :)

That is very tough, imho. Either you take advantage of high volatility or low volatility, but to be able to profit in both regimes is hard. Unless you measure volatility dynamcally and adjust on the fly ... Then it's like switching between two different systems. Would be curious to hear your...

You mean in paper trading? Back testing implies automated (strict rules based) systems. So either your back testing is way off or you can't follow the rules.

Agreed 100%. However, for manual traders, emotional stability is part of their edge. That's why you can teach 1000 people to trade a certain way and few of them will. Turtles is a great example of this. They couldn't even follow a completely spec'd out trading system with a proven edge ... all...

Yes, edge is needed but it's only a part of it. You also need to properly utilize the edge, imho. You will have times when your "system" works better and times when it doesn't. How do you properly press it in good times? What do you do in draw downs or slow times? I think the big...

Watching this video of his.

Yeah I can imagine. Thanks for truthful answer.

Not that it matters that much, but I assume you have not tried to verify their performance beyond what they provided to you themselves.

You are right, I should've checked prior to posting! I was paper trading GDAX (end of 2017) and they were charging about 0.2% for taking liquidity and nothing for providing it. My strategy was mostly taking liquidity, so wasn't good for me. Plus all the other stuff that was mentioned earlier...

I don't trade it. I believe at the time I was looking at it, when it was around 20k, that was the fee structure. I may be wrong though. This space changes quickly.

How did he know who is who? Did he go through you or just PM'd people on his own. I don't see any reference to ET anywhere. Don't have to answer this, just curious.

I agree, but it seems to be so popular that I assumed it was just me. I'm curious what you think about Brett Steenbarger. I, personally, found all his books very insightful.
