I keep stats of my trades, so if suddenly stops get his suspiciously often as size increases I would notice. So far it doesn't confirm and I'm interested myself when exactly the limit will be pushed. But middle 2 digits size is nothing during RTH, I don't even get 1 tick slippage in most cases...

Believe me, 20 contracts is nothing in NQ, proven with more already. Don't always trust the DOM, what it shows is not all it gives. :) Next logical step is simply ES, which is basically the same action with much more liquidity and somewhat less volatility.

Yea, I started it since April outside of ET and now decided to challenge myself on a new level, see if I can do the same under serious scrutiny. Because in my view, if I want a long-lasting trading career beyond the retail only level it's a must anyway to be able to handle the scrutiny and...

Well, she wasn't a "student" of mine, rather picked a couple of concepts from me and much more from Bighog who's also a great trader. Speaking of him, yes he trades much, much better than me, hopefully I get somewhat closer in the next 20 years too. :) Also, as I said, we have different...

To be fair that return is hopefully not to be extrapolated on future, cause it's since I started to publicly show performance and it had serious effect on my style. Quite an interesting psychological experiment on myself in style of XIX century when scientists infected themselves with the...

I do trade every day. It's a matter of quality signals if they appear or not. Market doesn't ask us what to do and I prefer not to impose wishful thinking on it forcing trades. :) Common view on SIFs is they usually give a maximum of 2-3 real quality signals per day on average. Some days...

Cold. :) P. S. No trades today.

Yea we have continuous battle for customers among providers and it results in prices getting quite low at the same time with modern equipment and good quality of service. If I can complain on something here it's maybe weather but certainly not Internet.

Nuke missile base has direct satellite connection, I use it. :D If seriously we have a competitive market of providers here, so I have pretty good fiber to the home for Internet & TV with HSPA modem as a backup (because that plus laptop makes me completely energy independent but online for a...

Just Google "Novosibirsk" and you'll get overall impression of our steppe and yurts we live in. :D

Just tried, getting 203ms. Actually can't complain about the fills, they are better than were with IB.

I seriously am here. :)

For two reasons: 1) It's actually evening for me (US stock market opens 20:30 my time). To keep normal biological rhythm I limited my trading session to that time. Also watch London first hours in other instruments (6E, DAX) whenever have time for that. 2) Morning moves are usually the...

Thank you 4PL! Just those two posted here http://elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3817843 so far. I purposely cut the number of signals before starting this current NQ venture in early April trying to achieve equity curve shape which is more suitable for a particular long-term goal...

Well... I'm fine with Surf presence as long as we constructively discuss trading to the benefit of readers. Of course blatant negative trolling is not welcome, but I hope moderators are as rigorous in this thread as they usually are in Surf's thread. :)

Definitely a good call of the possible top (and at least short-term top already), but Surf... 100%? I wouldn't say it's 100% to be alive next morning even, let alone what market does. :D

My view is all the world voluntarily tries to enrich itself at the expense of the others including me. Me doing the same. :) Still don't see a problem here. Yes, trading costs you money, but if your edge overcomes that, why not? Any business has expenses.

One trade today. :)

From the day one of your life you start burning calories and if don't get more regularly than you need (more because the process of digesting also takes energy not even speaking of adults who have to get the food first) you die. Everything has it's cost in life, I see no problem here. :)

Not much more negative sum than life in general, Surf. :) Think of a leopard... spending valuable calories every second to sustain life. And if he runs out of energy before pounces an antelope... it's a bit worse than a trader running out of account even, ha.
