Any time you hold a position overnight into the next trading day session...its consider a swing trade. wrbtrader

I was wondering if something unusual happen with that trade #12 where you took a big hit on the swing position ? Was that a stop hit or was it just a exit when you just gave in that your analysis was wrong or that maybe too much Trump in play in the markets ? Also, it looks like you're in...

Best to start a different thread on those topics so that there's no follow-up by others on what's already discussed in this thread about your "demise" especially when this thread did not start via talking about HFT, algorithm trading, tape reading, DOM trading and such. wrbtrader

After I read your first post about you saying you're prepared to go to school and do whatever it takes to get into programming algo's... That was 8 years ago in 2011...what happen between that and today ? Did you go back to school and decided to do something else in school, did you go work for...

Giddiyup, The longer this thread continues with you defending (continuing to explain) why you left trading...the more time you continue talking about such while you're trying to return to trading... This thread will become a distraction and make it more suspicious that you're just seeking...

Usually when the overall volatility is low or ranging...the Emini ES futures will be less smoother on small time frames like the 1min chart you're using. You may not have been trading Emini ES long enough to see how it relates to NQ when volatility is high, volatility is low versus volatility...

No need to explain how the losses of 25k impacted you psychologically. I've seen people make more than you did and then lose less than you...they then take a break from trading because the losses (although small in comparison) were part of a bigger problem. Thus, it wasn't the dollar amount...

What exactly will you do for the next 6 months to determine if in fact you can make it as you did before... 1) You backtested your trade method and it has a positive expectancy for the current & most recent market years ? 2) You've been simulating trading and the results are simular to your...

There's no need to abandon your current employment. Instead, use your vacations, sick leave, leave of absence to trade full time. If possible, you can change work schedule depending upon how much senority you have at your current employment such as switching from the day shift to the night...

I'm just as impressed with the fact that you got all of that information within one single message post. wrbtrader

Exactly which is why I need access to the raw data because I'm sure they have that info but made a decision to just show the "line chart". I mention the overlap charts issue because I do a lot of intermarket/intramarket analysis in my trading along with seasonality information when trading. I...

It shows a visual representation of the info only. I prefer to also see the data (downloadable) so that I do my own stats of the info or input the data in a 3rd party charting program. For example, it shows the visual info via "line chart". I would like to have the option of looking at the...

How would they know via the auditing clients (tax status, online message posts, linkedin profile) that you're a professional ? I've seen some retail traders make the mistake of thinking that self-employed and trading their own account = professional wrbtrader

If someone was a professional daytrader...why would he/she use IB if they are doing that to their data ? wrbtrader

Also, I understand not to use your broker as your charting source but does your broker classify you as a non-pro or pro ? In addition, did you file your tax documents as an individual or business ? My guess is that you setup your account with IB under a business name (corp/LLC) and that tells...

You a professional trader via their guidelines or did you check the wrong box in the subscription registration ? wrbtrader

It was more volatilite in March and April. In comparison, the recent month of May (breakout mid May) and June...prices been rising on declining volatility. Thus, there's a lot of price movement (Up) but without the volatility. Any source of seasonality charts for the Bund futures ??? Only one...

Looks the same to me...I'm looking at it via the 1hr and 2hr timeframes. wrbtrader

How the heck did the prior person (buy1sell2) translate your word "today" into "month ahead"...so much translation lost these days. wrbtrader

In today's forums...did you try posting your question at their "online community forum" ??? They use to have a support chat room on IRC with about +25 active members many many years ago. I use to run the QCharts and FutureSource software chat rooms. I don't know if Metastock chat room is still...
