Introducing broker for Transact Futures. Transact is not bad, but their trading platform is pretty old, which you can see and feel. They are one of the smallest FCMs around (together with AMP, Ironbeam...). You will get better rates if you go directly with Transact. But Infinity will give you a...

You guys are cracking me up :D

So true. Or ask Mike Tyson how to become world heavyweight champion ? Or Michael Schumacher how to become a fantastic F1 driver ? The recipe is always the same and very simple: work more and harder on something than anybody else around you, because you love and enjoy and crave it more than...

Ticks, not points, but yes, it is possible that I take 1 tick profits and then a bit later I have to get out with a 20 tick loss. Not what happens every day, but it happens. The opposite is also true and happens: I might take a scalp near a breakout point, without the intention to actually...

This depends so much on the current situation right in front of me. Is the day just starting, or am I about to finish it for today ? Is it a very fast volatile market, or is it more of a slow day ? Am I ahead already, or do I already have an ugly loss in the book ? Depending on these and other...

Ok, basically you just have to invest like 500,000 USD. If you invest 1.5 Mio. USD or more, the whole process will be even faster and you will receive your residency within a few weeks. Nice !

How hard is it to get residency on Bahamas ?

@1a2b3cppp Trading for 4 points with 10 point stop is not scalping. It may be considered scalping during a flash crash type of event, where price jumps 10 points within seconds. But in regular, everyday trading, 4 points is what I would call trading intraday swings. Bone explained the origins...

Usually it works like this: once something has been "transferred" to Poland, you will not see it come back.

Huge, like 0.01 lot (microlot) ?

https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/ways-to-hedge-against-a-heavy-loss-in-extreme-situations-for-a-scalper.321254/ You should be prepared for stuff like this, think about it in advance. I hedged my open ES and NQ positions through Eurex. Not a perfect hedge of course, but it definitely helped.

I think yesterday's CME outage shows how important and relevant the topic of this thread was and is. Think in advance and be prepared for all the crazy situations you can think of. Then you will have less worries when it actually happens.

It is possible, of course. Many did it. Many do it. Am I one of them ? Yes. Or maybe I just lie to you. Does it really matter ? From your post anybody can tell that you are not ready for this. Try it... if you want to lose your pants.

Thank you all for your input !

Sorry, but I am afraid I dont understand... you mean these factors might also influence the performance of the platform ? Account risk ?

Hey guys and girls, I have a probably pretty stupid question, but because I am not really a genius with all that technical stuff, maybe some of you can help me with my problem: I like Sierra Chart with CQG (CQG FIX) feed. I am using it with FCM "X", the performance is excellent, but for some...

Sounds even better. I think I just watched too much Futurama :D

Nice office they have, they operate from a kindergarten ? And their proprietary trading partner, Helios Trading... what a joke. Where is their office, who is trading there, for how long have they been in the business ? A big joke. Better go and spend the money on a good evening with...
