Trading is pointless if I can't outperform the benchmark.

I'd take the friend out back if that happened...

And the race is on. I'm still bummed that he wouldnt let me list myself as "Broke Ass"

No trades today since AMP raised margins all the way till FOMC. Just made a rule to avoid that condition

Rigged? I think less rigged than the OTC CFD's and retail forex.

I like it. Only thing is getting access to more historical data. I could only download tick data just under 3 years. Warning to all, forward sim trading in MT5 will not allow you to take limit orders in futures. All your trades are market orders.

My strategy is like long straddle option. If price goes sideways for too long, I lose and I lose bigggg.

I guess I'm still adjusting my mindset to this type of performance. I be lucky if I can crack 40% this year. Account is just under 20k, so it's like peanuts. And this algo is not even scalable. Since I trade breakouts, the slippage gets worse as size increases. This is probably a low scale...

I'm very tempted to switch to ES. Everywhere else people making 1-2,3,4,5%! And here I am barely cracking quarter percent. Kind of pisses me off lol

I always feel like mean reversion is not a good approach for noobs. Maybe that's just me...

Massive underperformance. The only time I can outperform the benchmarks is on red days.
