Yes, all this stuff looks really sweet and nice, and important. Thats how the vendors sell this stuff to their customers. But the problem is, things like this are only gimmicks. They give you only a very limited, narrow view on the market. But many people think they can rely just on "tools" like...

You cannot make general statements about how fast you will be filled. It differs from day to day, hour to hour, month to month. There are too many factors that influcence this. The only way to get a feel for it is to either: 1) trade a live account and place real orders 2) Trade in sim with a...

I agree, 100% ! :):thumbsup:

There is nothing especially thrilling about trading larger clip sizes, if you get slowly into it and adapt over time. You cannot just jump from trading 1 contract to 50 contracts, with limited risk capital, and expect to remain calm and controlled in your trading. But if you do it the right way...

Like I said, if you suspect them, it would be so very easy to verify if this is true or not, instead of spreading your false suspicions in the internet. 500 dollar accounts are fine, if there are enough of them. Again, so easy to verify how much clients' money is in AMP accounts, instead of...

So much BS in one post... if you suspect any FCM that they dont route your trades to the exchange (which I have never heard about yet), then it is so very easy to test it by yourself if this is true or not. So easy ! But of course, it is even easier to post some BS accusation against a fine FCM...

Until you have proven that you can trade trough different phases of your market(s) and make consistent profits. It is easier for a scalper, who makes dozens of trades a day, than for a swing trader. A swing trader might sim trade for half a year, make good profits and think that he "got it"...

Trading is not soccer. If you can make consistently money in a sim account with realistic fills, then you should be able to produce very similar results in live trading. Under these circumstances, playing around in sim is just a waste of time. Like I said, trading is not soccer. But to each his own.

What I do not understand, so many of here you brag "oh yeah, I will beat you for sure, I am so good". If you are good traders with so much confidence, why dont you trade the real market ? It is much more fun to earn real profits than sim profits, or no ? SIM trading has its place, but if you...

LOL @ that SIM trading :D

Strong 14 year bump :D

Dont be sad man. Events like these come back, again and again. Not every day, not every week, but they come. And of course, we should also make gains on regular days, as often as possible. But sure, days like those we had in february and march can be especially profitable, if you know what you...

Well I might put on a trade like this, but I might also put on exactly the opposite trade. Sometimes I fade the low, sometimes I might also short the low of the day, expecting a strong breakout, it does not come, so I go out with for example 2 ticks win, or scratch, or get out for example for a...

Until he has some good feel and consistency in SIM, why should he go live ? There are simulated environments around these days that calculate your virtual estimated position in queue, so you get simulated fills VERY close to where you would have been filled in live trading. So the fill thing is...

Yuo best must use EMA 133 crossover with SMA 15.5 crossover. 16 might also work bat you should reallly stick to the 15.5, ok ? Teh reason is the speccial ratio of this noumbers, and teh calculation.

ES, I wish you good fun with the FGBL and FESX. FESX is a bit slow and can be boring these days, a bit similar to ZN. But FGBL has some good action almost every day and very low exchange fees (only 0.20 EUR per contract). Maybe it will help you to see what other (good traders) are doing on...

This looks like some earthquake seismometer graph from Japan :D

Different input: multifactor vs single (or limited) factor, and different processing of the (already different) input. I have a different opinion and experience with this than you. A computer will beat a human in a chess game, or in similar stuff with a limited set of fixed rules. But in a...

SimpleMeLike, thank you for your kind words. :) Good points you make here. What I like very much, what I think is VERY important and many people have big problems with: to be honest with yourself. People have already difficulties to be honest with other people. But to be honest with them...

You are asking what competitive advantage does a human have against algos ? The answer is: the human brain ! You just have to learn to "program" it, "program" yourself the way you want yourself to perform. How do you program yourself ? Practice, repetition, drill, and some more practice. Or...
