Yes. Study/understand volatility as a function of time, and you’ll see exactly why.

Pretty much. Retail scalping has never been viable, pre or post HFT. Intraday momentum/trend following still works, just offers much less than it used too. Volatility died down. More trading capital is needed now. Highest probability (for US markets) is to have a method that establishes bias...

That’s true. You can grossly outperform the benchmark by simply rebalancing a portfolio once a month. This said, if you can develop the proper analysis and execution platform to feed that tick data into, you can do much better. A pipe dream for most retail, since they’re constantly looking for...

This is a ridiculous basis for establishing market bias. Have you even defined the probability for yourself? It’s time to retire from this forum ladies and gents. Tired of sifting through all the crap. Appreciate all the valuable insights and rational discussions. I wish you all good fortune.

True, considering you make position size adjustments. I was assuming OP was targeting uniform sizing.

Doesn’t work. Should be volatility/range based.

Might chase out some thugs too. Like shining a light on a cockroach:)

Good observation, but I think it’s a personality thing, as I see very little correlation between cockiness and intelligence. Just comes with the territory sometimes I guess.

Good idea. He’s out. Maybe he will read this and hopefully rid himself.

TDMA stays. Although a little cocky, he has IMO some good industry knowledge.

Ok. Due to the abundance of diarrhea on this site, I’ve decided to go on an ignore campaign. Let’s actively post who you feel should be ignored and why. I won’t get offended if I make the list, but would appreciate constructive criticism. In many cases I’ve kindly placed members on ignore for...

Too funny. If Brooks helps people come up with ideas, it’s all good, but they better work out the math and coding required to test the viability and execution, else they’ll end up spinning their wheels forever. Same goes for any price action education.

God bless you and Al Brooks. Some of the worlds best traders use his methods, especially here on ET:(

I’ve only traded equites with IB. How do they compare to other futures brokers in terms of execution speed and order routing? Any advantage here?

Wherever expats flood, don't go. They jack up the cost of everything, as the locals see the sucker from a mile away.

I think you misunderstood. My post was in reference to using IBrokers as a front end which is not feasible. I also automate through IB, but with a stable front end. I have nothing bad to say about the IB API structure.

Thank you for your humor. It makes my day. We need more like you here.
