Unless you're using a 100% symmetrical strategy (same criteria for entry & exit), doing the reverse of a losing system will not necessarily result in a winning system. It would be too easy if this was the case.

Even if you would like to trade today, US markets are closed. I just realized that this morning at 9h10. I was wondering why my app was not connecting...

The only way to know if you will succeed is to try. The worst thing is not trying and have regrets later. If you try and fail, at least you would have tried. Although, If you cannot be profitable trading part time, I doubt that you'll be able trading full time. Trading part time could be...

If I may ask, if you have made that much money in just 3.5 months, why not just keep doing what you were doing? Maybe you already told the reason in previous post, sorry if this is the case.

Positive = making money (real account, not paper) Exceptional = much more than the average I'm used to make. I won't put any numbers here cause I don't want to be asked for proof and start the trolling process of being accused of lying or paper trading or faking. I have nothing to prove to...

The week is ain't over yet, but so far so good. If the week was to end now, it would be positive, but not exceptional. FWIW, day trading the ES, algo 100% automated.

Approx 47 TB I'd say. 1250 days (5 years) x 390 minutes (from 9h30 to 16h) x 1200000 series x 80 bytes (each 1 minutes data). Not sure how much $ that will cost, but it won't be cheap!!!

What the hell does that mean? Is it a synonym of 'feeling'?

Anyone who is bragging about his trading results get this. Whether true or false, whether with proof or without. So, the solution is quite simple.

I'd be curious to know how much of that bandwidth you are really using....

40 mbps is way sufficient for what you are doing. Getting 80 mbps or more will have no effect at all. 'mpbs' is not the speed per say, but the bandwidth, or the amount of data you can receive/send per second, not the speed at which you can receive/send them.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings!!!

I thought you've learned macroeconomics!!! You know that historically, exchange markets are 6-month ahead of the economy? On a side note, I don't care where the SPX is going, as long as the volatility is present. And any day trader shouldn't care either. Forecasting the markets is just pure...

FWIW, I'm playing poker against people for money on a regular basis, and since many years (and not for dimes and nickels!!). Playing poker and day trading are closer than what people usually think. In both cases, we're putting money based on probabilities of forecast of an outcome.

Making money with trading doesn't necessarily means that you need to be able to forecast the market. I'd be able to make money from your 3 random graphs.

23h45, which is the default time proposed. I've been using IBGw with this reset time for years.

+1 That's the tool I'm using since many years.

My little finger tells me +5% for the SPX. But any high vol will be welcome.

Why do people's goals are often unrealistic? Why not starting with more down to earth goal, something like 5-10% per month? If reach, then trying for 15-20% per month, and so on. Aiming to be the best of the universe is ok, as long as you set smaller goals along the way. When he started...
