Agreed. The guy is more of a short term swing trader I believe, so I think it's easier for him to make these adjustments. Here is the podcast. I'm not advocating any of his stuff, but what he is saying makes lots of sense, especially for short-term trading, imho...

What does it mean? You mean the more often quotes come in, the more pulsed they will be? Are you talking about both quotes and trades?

I think you should get your money back ... if it was me, I would never fund someone who complains about "minor" technical issues right off the start. Granted, everyone has different tolerance levels for these things, but you are not even risking your own money.

I was listening to a podcast recently and the guy described similar logic. One of the things I found interesting that for some strategies, he actually would only start trading them live when they went into draw down on sim. My understanding he is trading all of them all the time in the sim but...

Do you mind if I ask you a question? Did you join them to get funded?

I've recently signed up at a site and received below e-mail. I don't see this on their blog, so I decided to keep their name private(replaced with XXXX). They can join ET and comment if they want. This seems absurd to me. I've recently attended another webinar where they pitched a similar...

Good article. I would also include that CFD broker knows your trading history (if you are dumb money). Also knows where your stops are. Same with Forex.

Hi, which level 2 books do I get?

The below tells me he was simply a manipulator and must have done this multiple times before something went wrong. Who in their right mind would give someone 100x leverage in crypto unless they knew it was a sure bet!? "The trader, who was the co-founder and CEO of cryptocurrency market...

Well, it's certainly an indicator of an edge, but one has to be very careful to separate luck from skill. The shorter the timeframe, the more likely it's an edge. And that's the reason I am concerned with Max Adverse Excursion - how much heat did you have to sweat through before market bailed...

Sure, but as soon as you add discretion, there's no way to tell if your edge comes from using indicator or from your experience/gut. That's why many educators use indicators ... They are like crutches for newbies. Once they learn to walk, they discard them. Obviously, fully automated...

I suspect it's because it cannot be put into code and backtested - it's vague. People don't like uncertainty, but the market is the epitome of uncertainty no matter what your backtests tell you, imho. The only (legal) exceptions are hard edges the likes of HFTs have.

Some interesting ideas ... https://alvarezquanttrading.com/blog/market-timing-with-a-canary-gold-copper-lqd-ief-and-much-more/

I'm stealing this phrase!

What objective method (s) are you using? Please don't say "Maths"

I bet this guy was one of the whales ... until a bigger whale came along. Suicide must have been the least violent choice. Sad story, but good to keep in mind when you read about all the crypto billionaire traders. https://www.ccn.com/bitcoin-margin-100x-leverage-trader-suicide

It's the level 1, you will see it on IB subscription selections. I believe IEX level2 is free, so you should be able to see it, check with IB. But it's useless for day trading.

Speed Bumps Are the New Black Larry Tabb TABB Group Follow | Profile | More Share While the IEX speed bump has been in production for more than six years, lately, speed bumps are all the rage, notes Larry Tabb. Cboe is the latest exchange to join the party. While the IEX speed bump...

No, individual books are useless by themselves. If you want the whole picture, you need all of them. I use ThinkOrSwim which has free data. It doesn't have full books, but it has all top of books which should be enough unless your trading requires otherwise. From IB, I only get Tapes A,B, and C.
