I am not a psychiatrist but it seems there is an easy solution ... Find someone to approve your actions and hold you accountable. Consider yourself running a signal service and publish your calls to someone you trust. Imagine he or she is a business partner (or maybe even have them become...

Yeah, your title implies a different thing than your actual question. There's no edge in patterns, there's an edge in trading patterns within a context of current market environment. As you said - gut feel (experience) is big part of the edge. I am not very knowledgeable about ML or neural...

You are missing my point ... You can do whatever you want with your money, but to get funded, you need trade within constrains. Anyway, I don't want to be a distraction, hope you get where you are going with it.

I said nothing about validity of your strategy ... I am asking you why can't you take yourself "out of equation?" The first part in automating is being able to clearly state the rules. Once you have the rules written down you simply follow them. Obviously, back-testing is useful...

Finally got to listen ... Nice. Thank you. Hope to see more. Some highlights for me: * Emphasis on being able to get out vs getting in. * % returns as a poor/incomplete/misleading indicator of performance. * Common personality traits of successful traders. * Is trading supposed to be...

Precisely ... No one will give you money to trade whatever the hell you want however you want ... Must be liquid assets and scalable strategy ... Idea is not to help you make a living trading, but to make above average return on a risky investment. I give you 30k at 50/50 split and then this...

"Experience has proved to me that the real money made in speculating has been SHOWING A PROFIT RIGHT FROM THE START. I made my first trade at the psychological time that is, at a time where the force of the movement was so strong that it simply had to carry through. There have been many times...

And you think automation is the solution? Can you watch the algo going negative and wander ... Why the hell it is not getting out ... Is there a bug ... Did I loose connection ... Isn't it obvious today is just not a good day for this strategy? If you read about fully automated traders they...

I am curious why you are not trying to get funded by the likes of tradenet or ifundtraders? Is the initial fee still too large?

I can't offer much on this, but I would like to post my thoughts on this and see what people think. Let's say I'm long the stock (AAPL), I will sometimes open short position in ETF(QQQ). The idea is that while it's not well correlated in normal conditions, it will become very correlated in...

Thank you. If your edge is in the "scalper" which has embedded "strict stop loss", I don't really see the value of the straddle. Do the majority of the profits actually come from the scalper or from the straddles? I have been pondering on a similar idea but in a reverse way ... Buy a strangle...

By runaways, you mean a large gap through your stop? What does "annual" mean, don't you need to roll the straddle in between scalps as the price trends?

I posted one above. IMHO, people are going about it a bit backwards ... If you are in minor leagues, you do not necessarily need to be coached by Joe Torre. Also there are batting coaches, pitching coaches, psychology coaches, etc. Depends where you are at and where you want to go. Just...

Yes! And there's absolutely no accountability for how long the order is "being worked!". It's licence to steal. Brokers should be required to publish latency statistics from the time they received the order to the time it actually got to the exchange/pool/internal book. This way we can...

@fullautotrading, what's this all about? How much capital do I need to make $5M in a few months? Sorry if I crossed the line here but just couldn't resist. "the latest available executable we use for our own trading activities. Price is typically around $5M upfront, which may be usually...

I was just thinking that it would be nice to take your laptop with you anywhere, put on the glasses, and be able to use multiple screens. The rest I don't care about.

I was just trying to make a point that just because you set a mental stop on a stock, especially low floats Momo one, doesn't mean you had .10 at risk!

That may be, but few if any teach you how to trade in practical terms. Can't compare this to watching someone trading ... making real time decisions good, bad, or the ugly.

Nobody is jumping in front of your order on lit exchanges with sub-penny, so you are not affected by that directly.

Stop .10 away? LOL Hope all inspiring Warriors watch below video (starting around minute 3): Getting in the LEAST of your concern!
