    Comparing simulated trading to reality: mini-Dow on Ninja

    I guess I should just ask Advantage or the exchange whether the mini-Dow is FIFO or pro-rata. Either way I should get an edge sometimes. It's a good thing that the simulation is more difficult than real trading because it really doesn't evoke much feeling when i am trading on it. I hope that...

    Comparing simulated trading to reality: mini-Dow on Ninja

    I plan on putting $20k in the account to trade a max of 10 contracts. Of course, I will be trading one lots and only going up to 5 if I see a fantastic trade that must go my way or I'm out. What is bothering me is the high cost per contract. I am going to get a membership, IDEM I think, but...

    I have been simulated trading the mini-Dow on Ninja for about a month now. So far it has gone well. I am observing risk parameters, only trading the number of contracts I would normally trade given my potential account size. My question is whether anyone has experience trading on the...

    Who trades at night?

    Not a damn thing. I am really beginning to hate those MFs. I am moving back to the states soon and I am going to start trading Eurodollars. I have heard it is a good trade and I can see that the Eurodollar's volume has taken off.

    Who trades at night?

    I am in Moscow trading Euribor. That is until my wife gets a visa and we move back to the US. I really just trade US hours. European hours are mostly slow and the European Central Bank/politicians have a bad habit of opening their big mouths without any warning. Good way to get chopped...

    Seeking advice

    I see two roads you can take. The institutional road means getting a job at a bank. ASAP starting a degree in finance. It will take years but you will be put on a trading desk with experienced traders and a good mentor is invaluable. The other road is what I will call the non0institutional...

    What if housing is undervalued and the market is just playing catch up.

    "When rates start to rise, potential buyers will opt to rent instead, driving up rents but keeping price appreciation to a minimum." Hi Kin, I think we agree that some, mostly big city and coastal, RE markets are expensive relative to the personal income of these areas. The flaw I see in...

    Baldwin Blows Out?

    Glad to know I am not the only one having problems. It is a shame to hear about Baldwin, if it is true, I rather hear that he was having great success because it would signal that trading was good somewhere. IMHO, the biggest change I have had to deal with in this new century is the...
