1. Stop loss is just market orders when triggered. Yes you will see some slippage on market entries/exits sometimes. Unless you use a stop limit order, which will guarantee fill at that price, but why would you take on higher risk than few ticks slips. 2. 4k is not your risk. I think you're...

Are you on crack this morning Mr. commenting after the fact price action?

I'm looking through some volatility based indicators and one of them is supertrend. Found this thread and decided to comment on it lol Based on the screenshot, I can tell the formula used in this indicator is wrong. Supertrend is usually calculated as avg +/- atr(factor) usually avg = (h+l)/2...

I have a feeling that his method is hard to code. I think those zones are highly subjective. Sure it looks "obvious" when you draw it, but to put it in mathematical formula would be challenging.

I was just being a stupid idiot... The word passive got stuck in my head cause this will hopefully turn into that. Another passive income source.

I want to create a side by side % performance between my algo (gross and net after comm) against the benchmarks SPX/NDX This journal is pretty much done as far as algo development is concerned. Now I'll let run till it dies.. After about 20 or so data points we'll plot the graphs. Let's...

I'm in TX now

Learn what professional atheletes do. Of all people, they are probably similar to traders in that they have to perform at their job regardless of what's going with their lives. I personally love CR7's work ethic. Young dudes are just matching his record at MU when he was was there in his late...

50-80% if my vps fucks up.

Source?

I went to UVA does that count lol
