While you may have an extensive trading background it's clear that you aren't knowledgeable on what is required to make a successful poker player. Long term successful poker players (not turned famous overnight tourney winners) make their money and stay in the game through treating poker like a...

I agree with the uniqueness of the independence of trading, that is true. I'd bet that a lot of traders tend to have more independent personalities as well, which draw them to things like trading. But I don't agree with the idea that trading decisions can be so easily identified as right or...

Has anyone had any experience selling their systems on tradestation's strategy network? They claim to offer that they can help you lease your systems to their clients. It sounds like a great way to make some money and build more trading capital but it feels like there has to be a catch. Is...

Does IB offer a free data feed for Ninja?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I hope I'm in the right place to get some advice. I'm looking for recommendations on broker/data feed/software setups that are working well for other strategy based traders out there. I've been using automated trading strategies on forex for a while...

Amen. If you trade toward a daily goal you're likely to end up quitting early on what would've been your best days while fighting the bad days all the way through.

Small trades, mini lots, for testing. I didn't trust putting a significant amount of money after my experience.

I checked the listing of brokers in the broker ratings section but I didn't find interbankfx. I was going to add a review as former customer. I'll put it here and if the powers that be see fit they can add it to the brokerage rating section. 80-90% of my experience with InterbankFX was...

There is really no one answer to this question, and for some brokers, there is no answer. Does the proprietary broker offer API trading, or some other form of connecting to their trade system to allow you to implement an automated trading system?

When I first became interested I was writing systems on wealth lab's free site. It allowed me to experiment with the idea of systems and automated trading to see if I liked it. After I decided to try some real time systems trading I chose to open a forex account. Being a 24 hr market with...

Thanks sideshow. I'll look into those contracts. With our forex brokerages, the spread is fixed. Have you seen how the bid/ask spread is for those futures after hours?

As most have probably see from my previous post, my partner I are trying to change from trading with our forex only brokerage to one that will support other markets, particularly futures. I decided to post this thread separately considering it's specific focus on the futures market. Most...

I have recently started writing and testing automated systems with a partner. We chose to start with interbankfx because they work with MetaQuote's free software, and they also allowed us start out with less risk capital in a mini account. Forex also seemed like the perfect product to trade...

Your system uses the year 2002 as an additional filter for determining conditions under which to buy or sell. Your current knowledge of the trends in the past may help you indentify times where your trade setup would have been more successful in the past, but it doesn't mean you will be able to...
