And measure that plan's implementation. Measure the trades as a set, not single trades. Separate out the plan (risk management, etc) from the tactics (execution). Make changes changes to the tactics or the plan. Measure the change's improvements. Don't guess. Otherwise you risk never...

Secular Bull Market ends sometime. The transition should see some huge volatility. There was a story about a guy in 29' getting stock tips from his shoe shiner. He then proceeded to liquidate all his holdings that week, a month before the crash. Of course it bounced hard and finally...

I think this one is the best I have read. It does not go the psychological "mystic methods" like Douglas etc. Instead it provides a frame work to build your own version of psychological understanding of trading. Of all the books (+100) I have read, most I get one or maybe two things, this...

RELAX. Seriously, think about all the things that make you stress-tense up. For each one, RELAX. Know that being stressed is not going to help. You probably put a lot of effort into your trading, so put some of it into Relaxing. Avoid the Dentist Chair syndrome. Most people just thinking...

Ironically, many would to exactly that because the want the "rush" that is similar to trading.

I would add time of day, within the trading day.

Your conspiracy theory IS the conspiracy.

PRACTICE! Just like everything else, practice taking your looses. Go paper and take a bunch of small losses. It just might reveal some holes in your methods. Stops are feedback. Don't ignore this opportunity. I think everyone gives this high win rate method a try. Everyone abandons it...

But you are not trading 5K because you don't have it? In many ways small amounts is like paper trading. You don't know pain until you lose 5, 6, or 7 digit losses. AND the market WILL give you pain. Add this to the comments about the discretionary "strategy", and it is a recipe for disaster...

The quintessential two part solution. Having the first is not enough.

Joel, Sounds like you do not have enough data to make any conclusions. First thing is your strategy measurements need to be good enough to make improvements. There are lots of things to measure. All strategies require fine tuning. Often it is the difference between satisfactory profits and...

LF you will like this.... C2 actually had a pretty good trade tracking features. You can have it mirror your live IB account in a C2 sim account. Then you have a real record, and all the data consolidated. It works pretty good IB-> C2 only. Comments about day trade & copy trade still...

Sorry I cannot help you use the software combination that works for you. IMO, part of being a trader, is being able to work around issues like this. This seems like a very simple issue to work around, called a macro. Developing a system and tactics that works with the tool you are given...

It depends upon the instrument and the setups you trade. Best to figure it out yourself, given all the variables you use. If someone says XYZ, that is like saying my prescription eyewear works great. Also there is more than Stop and Targets. E.g. adjustable trailing stops and how much time...

Yeah CPU is probably it. Thing is the browser pages, from year to year, keep on getting more and more complex and resource intensive. Without knowing your platform, it is hard to recommend a machine. I like MSI laptops because they have good reliability, automatic network ethernet-wifi roll...

You have to find the bottle neck to answer the question. Use the Task Manager: Performance Tab. See if the CPU or the GPU or the RAM is the problem. Might even be a combination of the RAM and the HD (mechanical). Just guessing, it is probably the 8 GB being the limit on Win 10.

8K TV right? What is the weight on that guy? 60"?

LF, There are other system that bundle all the order of the traders and the subscribers account together. This way what ever is filled the results are shared. It was a large financial commitment to use their system, something like 5K a month. I was not ready for that commitment just to help...

Sorry for the confusion. You are correct. There are 3 types of executed orders and reported: 1) Your Live account 2) Your Live Subscribers accounts 3) You Sim C2 account. Theoretically all three should be the same fills within a tick or two and nearly all at the same time within a second or...

TC2000 has a super easy language for this type of scan. The programs strong suite is for these type of scans. You write as simple script. E.g. Last < High200*.80. Last is below 80% of the 200 day high. It gives you an list. Exportable, or press spacebar to scroll though the list. You can...
