    Advice to make $3K/month trading

    It is not that much of a secret, so I will share it here with you, I always wondered why not more traders apply for this: http://www.eurexchange.com/exchange-en/trading/trader-development-program Basically, you just have to trade at least 350 RTS (700 contracts) on Eurex per month. If you do...

    MultiCharts + Tradovate

    Their FCM, Dorman Trading, already supports MultiCharts, so I think it should be not too much of a deal to also implement this into their offer. https://www.dormantrading.com/trading-platforms/

    Advice to make $3K/month trading

    And one more thing I wanted to add... I mentioned the FDAX because it is one of the most (consistently) volatile instruments out there and gives you plenty of opportunities per day, similar to NQ. But you can do the same style of scalping with almost every major instrument. For me, the major...

    Advice to make $3K/month trading

    Kind of. I take what the market gives me, but it has to happen within a very short time. I dont want to sit 1 hour and wait for a 1 tick profit to turn into 5 ticks. Thats not scalping for me. What many people dont understand is that there are many ways to manage risk. People always think only...

    Advice to make $3K/month trading

    Hi Adam, no, in my scalping I have never worked with stops that are tighter than my targets. At least not since I became profitable. Quite the opposite, for a long time I have scalped without any stop per trade. Instead, I had set a daily max loss, and once this has been hit, I would stop...

    Is this seriously what trend traders do?

    Maybe you can turn the loss into a much bigger loss ? You suggest exchanging a random variable for another random variable.

    Advice to make $3K/month trading

    Scalp the FDAX (Dax Futures). Go for very small (a few ticks maximum) target per trade. Control your losses, keep a tight stop. 10-50 trades per day. 1-5 contracts per trade. I suggest an account balance of 20K or more. Make 150 per day on average and there you have your 3000 per month. FDAX is...

    Tradovate with Jigsaw plugin - good choice only if you trade small

    Internalization ? Tradovate ? Dorman ? ROFL ! Conspiracy Squad should maybe just open a DOM in Tradovate of a slow market, like FGBS or ZT. Open a DOM for the same market in the platform of a FCM that you trust, lol. Then place a buy or sell limit order of 100 contracts a bit away from the...

    Tradovate with Jigsaw Trading vs. X_Trader - reliability

    Ok, I understand and agree with what you say. I am mostly interested in it because of the estimated position in queue that you can monitor with it. The only other platform that offers this is X_Trader / TT. Rithmic RlTrader just like X_Trader / TT gives you even the true position in queue, but...

    Tradovate with Jigsaw Trading vs. X_Trader - reliability

    Ok, I understand what you mean. May I ask, how did you test it, as far as I know there is no demo or test version of Jigsaw. So you just gave it a shot and bought it ?

    Tradovate with Jigsaw Trading vs. X_Trader - reliability

    Lukas, there will be no routing fee if you use the fully integrated Jigsaw within Tradovate. However, if you use their standalone platform with your Tradovate account, then you will have to pay the CQG routing fee.

    What percentage of your gross PnL is commission?

    Why not ? I prefer having a method that produces consistent profits and giving 50% in commissions to my broker, than to have an unreliable, volatile system while only paying 5% in commissions. As long as you are net profitable, it is all good, or no ? Of course I would always look to get my...

    TopstepTrader Combine - opposite positions in two combines

    Ok, but if you know what you are doing, how long should it take to pass the combine ? 1-3 months ? So thats 1-3 times the monhtly fee for one account. If you do this thing with opposite positions, you will also have 2x the combine fee, 2x the market data fees... it adds up, so maybe not that...

    TopstepTrader Combine - opposite positions in two combines

    I think you are not allowed to hold positions into or trade close to economic news releases. Also, even if they would let you through with this, how would this make sense in the long run ? Your goal is to make money, or no ? How would you continue once you have a funded account ?

    How Realistic? $50k account, $500 / day

    Ok, there are not that many Paul Rotters around, and times have changed too. But just to show that it can (could have been) done: By some accounts, he was trading as many as 180,000 contracts per day in 2005. That made him the largest trader of German debt futures on the Eurex. This “flipping”...
