Every week/month there is at least one guy predicting a crash. One day, one guy will be right.

Dohhhh!

This is a false statement. IB paper trading environment always place limit orders at the end of the queue, not at the front. So it simulates the worst condition. Ex.: bid - ask 0.50 - 0.75 If you place a limit order to sell@0.75, the order will get filled only when the market will move to: bid...

When you say 'results', I'm guessing you are referring to trading results (P&L). Because you cannot duplicate results in real time, otherwise it's not real time anymore. And your code, I'm also guessing that it has been optimized to trigger signals using your backtest data. 2000 ticks per...

First of all, 2000 ticks per second is not what we call high volume. Any computer and network bandwidth can handle that amount of data easily. Finally, if your system has been optimized based on your backtest data, then it's normal that the results in real time are different. It's what we call...

The country where your trading account is registered should be considered as your taxable country, but this is only my guess.

No, this info is not provided by the option exchanges. It's not a choice but a rule.

Between 5 and 20 ms there is an eternity, if we're talking about 'ulta-fast'. And there's always the variable of the distance between your gear and the market data vendor server.

@Fooze666, this is a very good question. It's very personal. Each individual has its own goals and expectation. For me, I have a minimum net profit per week per contract (I trade the ES) as a goal before I'm using that new strategy live with real money. That minimum net profit must be obtain at...

You're buying on the offer, not on the bid. So for the call it's 1.15, and the put 1.65. Both are higher price than the intrinsic value.

What do you mean by better execution and commission than IB (for trading ES)? Seems to me like IB is one of the best in regards to these 2 characteristics for trading ES.

And the last US election was a big fraud!!!:rolleyes:

Ok, so 15 years unsatisfied, and you're still with them??? They must do something that suit you. I can't imagine staying with them for 15 years without any benefits.

So you're basically asking how to make money trading. And you think someone will be willing to give you that info? Just like that? People giving that type of info are generally asking money for that. And if they're asking money, it's not a good sign that their strategy is really profitable...

Buy low, sell high... No but seriously!!!

They have system maintenance that was schedule for today. Their website is stating that.

Gotcha! But MMs and HFTs are 2 different kind of beasts. They do not trade with the same goals and strategies.

Btw, there are no MMs on the ES market. Unless you are mixing different market participant types.

I was wondering why you didn't post anything today. I got my answer: you were too busy trading that rollercoaster day...;)
