Maharaja and your ilk, How quickly you discount the element of my freedom in your life. The taxes on the considerable profits of my freedom to make money in whatever medium I see fit help pay for your inadequacy to provide richly for yourself. Ask yourself where you would be if not for...

Excellent reply. How long have you been using TradeStation? Do you allow TradeStation to automate your trades? In terms of frequency, what time frame are we talking about for "high" frequency...intraminute?, intrahour?, intraday?, etc.

Like I said, I've been in the securities industry for a while now. I am quite aware of the difference between a limit order, stops and the like. Thank you. My question is posed to those who have backtested a system, forward tested the system on paper, and then actually traded the system...

The trainer is in real time and is apparently identical to the real deal save for executions. (FFastTrade...no plug) I use stop limits for entry and regular "get the hell out of Dodge" stops for exits.

I've been using a "trainer" trading platform and I have serious concern over the validity of my trades actually occuring in the real world. I've been paper trading anywhere from 5 to 20 ES contracts and usually take 1%-5% daily whereupon I "hang up my hat" for the day and start over to seek...

How long have you been trading this way?

Are you refering to Daniel Goleman's excellent piece on Emotional Intelligence?...or some other?

Have you met him, know him personally?

I'm wondering if Ed has had continued success (profitable trading not selling wares) to date or if he has blown up like a number of other Market Wizard interviewees. Also, what do the currently and historically successful ET'ers out there think of him and his Trading Tribe? Allen

Thanks! Figured it out.

Does anyone else out there in EliteTraderland use FFastTrade? I need help with stop loss issues.

I totally agree with you on the risk management...mental stops are for the birds...you should be able to place some kind of mechanical stop-loss. How have you been able to set them? Do you use the remotepro or the online?

I've spoke with them about the problem, and they explain that the "trainer" is not a revenue generating platform, thus they spend no money on it..."but you can rest assured sir, our real trading platform is very robust"...I'd think they'd want to make the prospective clients want to feel pretty...

Their citrix based "Trainer" platform has gone down on me no less than 8 times this morning! I've been doing well taking in on average a little over 5% per day. Today was no exception as I was up 7.12% before the system crashed and a little less than half of my intraday gains were wiped out...

What does EL mean?

Thanks for the replies thus far. Just want to clarify something...a WL user must download data from a third party like Yahoo!???? From the admittedly limited amount of time spent building systems compared to some elite/senior members of this site I know that Yahoo!'s data sometimes needs...

3) Do you allow the system to trade automatically? If yes, through TradeStation, or other? If other, who do you use for your prime? I talked with Ffasttrade and they are running a beta test at the moment with a select number of traders.

If so, ...some specific questions: 1) Can the system automatically and simultaneously manage multiple portfolios comprised of multiple markets with each market trading multiple strategies? 2) It unclear to me if one needed to establish additional subscription services for each account...

Are you running the latest version? (not 8.0)?
