You would take any of such studies seriously? Seriously enough to put money on it?

Does "poor volatility" means low volatility?

You are saying that if it cannot be automated, you are not interested?

You said you day trade, so I am not sure what you mean by "don't have a short term focus" Here's a nice site. https://funded-trader.com/my-trading-plan/

That is very true. It will take time, trial, and error. Eventually, they will find the right one. Right, except you don't find a mentor, the mentor finds you! So where does it leave someone who cannot join financial industry? Web! Once they figure out what they need, they will find it, imho.

What about passing one of those trading challenge things to get funded? That way, you can secure enough funding prior to quitting job.

What prop shops are you talking about? Why do you think they have high failure rates? I think it's pretty simple ... There are shops that will not take you unless you can contribute something. And then there are those that will take pretty much anyone. I think many of the edges that prop firms...

Exactly! That's what you say to prey on people who've been burnt. For me it's very simple ... 1. Post a sample video of yourself on youtube trading real time for free. (I need to see/understand your style) 2. Offer to follow your daily trading with a monthly payment plan. (I need to be able...

But don't you need some minimum performance requirements? Also, I would assume it's much more costly to run many weak strategies than one or two good ones. Otherwise, wouldn't you simply match a diversified ETF portfolio?

Ha ha ... your best bet: https://groups.io/g/twsapi

Just to be clear ... I'm talking about getting data via API. TWS itself may be getting data differently so manual traders may not see the difference.

The cumulative volume comes separately from the ticks. So you can still calculate the total volume, but you cannot match the volume to ticks. It's f*d up. They have a new way to get tick by tick data, but there are stricter limits on number of subscriptions. I got to give credit to IB for...

I haven't looked into the quality of data much, but I doubt that they alter the price. Most likely, they don't send the tick when the price is same only more shares have traded. So in your table above, the price for all three would be 17.46 for example and they would only send once in 250ms...
