Likewise Alex. I'll let you know when I am around.

Hi Alex, I will be in NYC soon for a few months. Are you planning any meetups? I have been daytrading/swingtrading since 2006.

Although you are making paper money, your money management rules were vaguely explained. How much are you willing to lose/win in a day? When do you know when to stop after a few consecutive bad/good trades? Are you making money on trending days or consolidation? Short or long? What is your best...

A few reasons scalpers don't use hard stops. 1. They have the mental preparation to pull the trigger with no hesitation. 2. It takes too long to set stops. 3. Even if you set them automatically, we don't want to trigger it by accident since they are typically very close to bid or ask. 4...

This guy was filled at 10c. "So I had a stop order at 316, when GDAX went down (for whatever reason) all my ether was sold at the highest (at the time) price available. When I logged in I saw a small USD amount, I though it was a hiccup. Checked the fills and indeed it was sold at 10 cents...

This picture shows price at $13.

This is one of many sources.

Great job btrader85! I traded prop for many years doing just that, but I focused on stocks with less volume. Most people including me abandoned scalping due to algo trading. If you manage to understand the tape of these stocks, you will do very well as they provide plenty of liquidity to get in...

Hi Jim, I am glad you liked our journal. Give it a try when you can. You can open a free account anytime. We have a product for trading firms that ranks the traders and give overall firm positions and reporting, but we don't compile journal statistics. Our only goal is to help traders succeed...

Hey Truetype, just saw your message. You can always remove your account numbers from your exported csvs. You can also open a free account and insert trades manually just to see how things look.

There are tons of places to read about strategies, but if you want to dig deeper and backtest them, you can go to collective2.com or mql5.com and download all trades by strategy and import them into a trading journal to reverse engineer them or just learn what they are doing. Some authors...

Very thoughtful. Makes total sense.

Why? You don't like their model?

Yes, if they decide that mass adoption is their goal, I am sure they will find a way to tweak the algo.

Yes, but let's say you buy a ton of BTC today and they find a way to increase the float? Short term crash and long term growth? That's what I think.

I think bitcoin is too intertwined into the system to go to 0 and the use cases keep increasing. One government can crack down and say no more bitcoins, but others will embrace it and will benefit from the cryptocurrency revolution.

From my limited understanding of bitcoin, I know that it has a fixed number of bitcoins that can be mined. Keeping a fixed float should keep the price up (assuming all else is equal), but will limit mass adoption as the price is too high for most people. Expanding the float would allow more...

I tried quite a few...trello, producteev,jira but the one I like the most is clubhouse.io.

Returns on prop accounts are vanity metrics from people who want to show off. Don't fall for it. They put up a small deposit and get huge leverage to accomplish these %,
