I am Live Trading Strategy Runner now and I have gotten the best of execution and fills. I love the software and the Charting that comes with it. Kind of all in one platform at a decent price. No complaints here

I used Strategy Runner with Global. Not the greatest, most realistic Demo compared to its Live Trading version.

Oh yeah , I am here. still alive and kicking. I have made 5 Live trades on May15,16,17th !! I had first day jitters but have seem to overcome them. First day I patiently waited for my Setup and it hit 1.5 hrs after opening Bell. I got stopped out of that and stopped out another trade later...

nitro, I would say go for it. Although when you first start out in futures be advised that if your account falls below that $300 you will possibly get a margin call. Just dont let anyone here say it cant be done and you will be fine !!

Nice, one of the few Posts here that seems to hit it on the nose. Look, I have a well written out plan for trading futures that I have developed in the last 4months. I know the object is to NOT lose money when first Live Trading. Basically, I am going to concentrate on my specific setups...

LOL !! OK the truth finally comes out. This is pretty much exactly what we figured. Another human being telling others whats possible or impossible about an endeavour he does not even participate in. Gotta luv the typical ETer !!! :p

Somehow I missed this post by this guy. I think Elite trader ought to ban this character for making such an imbecile statement. :eek: I have NOT traded one live contract of YM, but I know using my commonsense that you DO NOT need 300k to pull off consistent profits in the YM. Thats...

BJL, hehehehe !! Your a funny man. Go back and reread what I have said about starting out with a small stake and adding more in later. Its called a prudent business plan. And its called being smartly conservative when dealing with an endeavour that is extremely difficult. Kudos back to you :p

LOL !! Ha maybe I should have made it clear in this Thread like I did the previous thread. I already have been trading for 7 years and over 3 years fulltime. I implement a Swing and Position strategy which I have been living off very comfortably for the last 3+ years. Sorry for the confusion...

Yeah JJ, Not trying to fund account to generate income. Just want to stay alive and survive learning curve. Incidentally, I do have specific written down setups with stop losses and risk management fully realized. Maybe it sounds like I dont but I do. Also I wont add more to the balance...

Not sure why you say that. What do you mean I already know the answer. The previous thread I was talking about averaging nearly 1.5% return a day. ($60 a day on a 4k account ) This scenario is $17.50 on a 3.5k account. Thats .5 % a day ! Quite a huge difference. A 200% difference to be...

OK , yeah your right. I also started a thread last month about whether it was possible to earn $50 to $60 a day on YM with 4k. Why might you ask am I starting a whole new thread that is soo similiar to that one ?? Well, starting on Tuesday I start trading with the Live 4k !!(actually, its...

Mymini, You were dead on right !! And had the Balls to put your neck on the line in front of us all. This is what Trading is all about !! Gotta luv it :D

You seem like a driven overacheiver !! Id say thats a great start to have in pursuing Trading. Iam not a betting man but I would suspect you will be successful in trading. Just be patient and know it will NOT come overnight. And learn thru trial and error as well as learning from other...

Actually your comparisons of learning Golf and learning to trade are NOT too far off. I can honestly say that after Trading for 7 years ( 3.5 full time ) and playing golf for 20+ yrs., that mastering Golf is a more difficult task than learning to master trading. Some might disagree but this...

People lets quit comparing this occupation to other ones like the medical field. Trading is NOT Brain Surgery !! PERIOD !!! As hard as hell as this Trading Occupation is to become consistently profitable , it cannot and should not be compared to Brain Surgery. How many certified Brain...

rcan, good luck !! I am sure with due diligence and hard work you can attain this goal. I will be rooting you on

Oh yes, the Elite Trader Mantra lives on thru and thru. The "if I cant do it ,you surely cant do it - itis" as exhibited by another lame brain trader in the above post. Ha hoss, I have been trading financials for over 8 years myself. Evidently, some people are more talented than you are...

Cajun, your statement here is confusing to me. In your methodology at Puretick don't you stress to your students to use prudent position sizing and strategic money management ?? Because if he lost a large chunk of his account on just ONE trade , its evident your Organization is NOT properly...

Thanks Minidow !! I think one important point that really hasnt been mentioned is this. Many of the naysayers are saying that averaging 1% a more a day is like making 4,000 % return or whatever in a year. They are comparing stock investing, position and swing trading to Futures Trading. And...
