    Nope, -100. To be fair had multiple opportunities to exit this one at profit or 0, should've moved stop up.

    Quant funds in trouble this time. Any insights into what went wrong?

    If we view solely hedge funds as the system under consideration, then not really: there are some market inefficiencies caused by other participants (the environment) that is a net flow into the system. The problem is, the external environment in this case does not enjoy losing money and is...

    Newbie needs help automating strategy.

    IB good enough to start with unless their cost structure prohibits you from being profitable (which can actually be pretty likely for frequent trading, then again you shouldn't be doing medium to high speed trading on IB due to latency). If you're in the US Alpaca seems pretty cool since it...

    Buy NAS100USD x 14 @ 7828 stop 7823 Just betting on something interesting happening last hour. It's been a "good" day after all. Edit: Nope, too tight stop. Lost ~60 EUR Ah yeah, after touching my stop market goes on to rally beyond entry price. Too greedy stop by me (as is frequently the...

    Close NAS100USD Moving too little for my taste and I can do other things than monitoring snail's pace action today. Last NAV today 22766. Just Natgas open. May reopen gold short next week depending on circumstances. Edit: Too early exit. :D Me exiting too commonly an entry signal.

    Profitable Traders: What makes you keep going?

    I worked for an ex-investment banker on a software project. His new work: Creating a large scale preschool education business in Korea from scratch. He could have decided to retire and live his life on a beach somewhere, but he was looking for meaning in his life. Then again, the grass is...

    Move stop to 7803, realized it's too tight for the trade's function (which is to leave on for a fair amount of time). Might also add marginally to this if it goes a bit lower.

    Buy NAS1000USD x 4 @ 7824 stop 7811 Just minor position at less than 1.5 leverage to capture any potential remaining upside today. (Should have subtracted above positions instead but my software client makes it way easier to entirely close positions than to rebalance them, for the obvious...

    Copper, NQ up for me so far. Natgas down. Will leave Natgas pen to at least next week as planned, but maybe I should have exited given it doesn't have that much more time to run.
