So from the replies here it looks like if I am correct if I want to trade 4 stocks against an etf, dollar neutral I will need a US prop firm like bright trading unless I have a very large account say $1m+ then I could probably make my own arrangement with some digging. If I need futures versus...

I am looking for guidance from people who are involved in this and know what is what. I currently swing trade a number of multi-leg future positions, typically there are 4 or 5 legs to the position. I use the prop firm route to achieve margining that is viable. I couldn't do this sort of trade...

Day 8 - another +1 tick winner on CL. TST managed to sort out the problem of the trade reports not updating yesterday however it seems as they have not updated again last night. So my trade report is still showing 6 days traded when it should show 7. Anyways Day 8 complete, account profit...

Not sure if this is a troll thread but here is my 2c and it is similar to what others have said. You should definitely NOT borrow money, stay in your job and save whilst you swing/position trade studying the markets a couple of hours every evening. I would even go further and say do not put your...

they are working on the trade report issue.

there are no guarantees in trading, everyone here knows that. Ask yourself who is more loony the person who states 'guarantee' or the person who cries fraud. I think Surf is pulling your chain much more than you realise.

I am not so sure it is a majority of the members. The majority of people read and lurk seldom if ever posting. This has become more and more like medieval times when people from the village run to watch the spectacle of the someone being punished for witchcraft.

day 7 and another +1 winner on CL. For some reason the TST trade report didn't update overnight i have emailed them. It should be showing 6 days traded on the trade report. 3 days left before I can submit for access to FTP.

oh ffs guys stop bullying Surf. Trying to self censor what is written on an internet forum is an impossible task.

if you no longer need the price drivers then are they for sale? I am just asking as I would buy them to fade.

reopen guantanamo and put them where they belong.

some strategies you cant put an actual stop in the market. what about if you are making a market. I have seen pnl based stops used successfully. this does sound like a case of 'all or nothing' thinking.

FTP strategy - I am likely to trade more conservatively until I see what I think is a prime opportunity, this is where I will size up. It just so happened that I saw an opportunity early on with the combine allowing me to get the bulk of the target done 1st day. One of the FTP rules is i must...

it's all good vphantom. the trade report only shows the days you traded the selected product. I selected CL and only traded this Mar 7th & 8th. Top of the report it says days traded = 5. I traded the 6th day today but it wont show on the trade report until tomorrow, the trade report updates...

Day 6 update. took a +1 tick winner in CL. 4 more days until I submit for acceptance into the FTP. GL.

its ok guys only 6 more hours and the casino is back open.

imo you have not taken onboard the true competition nature of trading. TA is a set of tools. You seem to have applied the tools in the 'mainstream' way and found they dont work. This is exactly the result you should expect.

Just use interactive brokers. Yes customer service is poor if you have a small account. If you are doing simple stuff its fine. If using a lot of margin v. Acc size you may need another broker. Their financial stability is as solid as it gets imo.

Great way to learn isn't it. Start on demo then $95pm in an accountable environment. I wish they were around when I started trading.
