    Did paper trade really help you to become profitable?

    In all my years as a broker, I have not seen a positive relationship between demo/paper trading to success in the markets. In other words, if someone just started trading a market without any demo time, I could not say that he would be worse off than someone that paper traded for a lengthy...

    CME futures direct market access risk control

    There was a time that it made sense for a pro or a prop desk to have CME Direct because it did not charge fees for market data. Now they do, so I do not see any advantage for having CME direct over CG, TT or Rithmic when it comes to latency, execution or data. Fewer and fewer traders are...

    CME futures direct market access risk control

    ICC= Inline Credit Control. This is the CME risk system an FCM can enable at the account level. There is also GC2. This is at the Execution Firm level. Once your order hits the CME systems all things are equal. From the cable length to the risk calculations that are performed. All orders run...

    Another Reason why not to trade with distractions and emotions

    A guy posts it on Reddit, where most amateurs lurk. A Reporter from MarketWatch who has nothing to write about scans Reddit and decides to exercise the most creative art of writing with his editor skills AKA "Copy and Paste". Brilliant. Financial writing at it's finest. In all seriousness...

    On Professionalism...

    I think that many of his points were valid and also he had great intentions in helping traders. But, I can't tell you how hard it is to share real and practical experience with traders.

    Livetrading

    I look for the same thing but in the space of Commodity Trading Advisor/Money managers. Then I can examine real results and offer it to some of our customers who are interested in such products. I am not sure how to verify real results in a webinar setting unless you see statements(?).

    On Professionalism...

    Quite honestly tired of threads that are meant to discuss discipline, habits, and reality of trading turn into broker bashing(?). Many of us looking at traders as a long term investment, not as a statistic. Today most customers reach out to the brokers because they want to enter the markets...
