If you are new to this, I would look at Oanda. They have MT5 and they have forex. It is not futures but CFDs, which give you the opportunity to trade very small lots down to 1 USD. That gives you the opportunity to test out forex-trading without risking large amounts

You are clearly in the 3F-bracket (friends, fools and family). And with 12 trades, not even that. However, I have been on the same track as you. Started out getting good results over a long period, talked with a few potential investors to back me with a few grand each, and slowly built from...

If this was the case, there would be algos exploiting it already

You always have to look at the situation as it is now. If you didn’t own the share, would you buy 10000 shares in it today? If not, then sell, and buy whatever you believe in with the information you have today. Never keep a share just because you made a misstake in the past. Put it behind...

This is from a brand new account. How long until this thread is flooded with «positive advice» from other new accounts suggesting to use certain unknown, unregulated brokers intending to scam its customers?

A few lines of Python code could easily do that for you together with for example Yahoo Finance

When I was a broker, we could always get stocks to short for our customers. But it was nothing we bothered doing for small investors focusing on low cost. So if you focus your trades one place, and become a decent client, I think most reputable brokers could help you

I think they have relatively high leverage, such as 50? But since I am European, the laws here limit it to 30. But since I don’t like to waste my money, but gain on my trading, I use a lot less than 30 as well. But if you want to lose, I think they let you have more unless European

To quote Jeremy Clarkson (from memory): Twitter is the place where the extreme left preach to the others from the extreme left. And that’s about it

Oanda has a 0.4 spread on S&P 500: https://www.oanda.com/rw-en/trading/spreads-margin/

Deep fakery? Isn't it just some clips from Black Monday?

No, I think it was France ;-)

Great. I see you troll, and raise: I prefer 1:10 000. It suits me perfect as I can become a billionaire before the weekend.

Ohh.. That sounds like a hornets nest. To buy a small percentage of something owned by a family. I doubt you get any smart investors to invest in this, unless you give a very steep discount. Unless it is strictly a rental property which can be managed purely as an investment for all parties. But...

Just ignore him. He is mostly here to argue. My experience is that the Yahoo data is mostly good. However, obviously if you are blindly going to follow the script and put a fortune on what it tells you, you need to cross-check, confirm and have a completely different level of code quality than...

It is actually that simple. But we are not talking gui or any fancy solution here. Just a script or notebook you run and it spits out some shares. Gui, fields for settings and so forth is a whole different ballgame. Not a lot more complicated, but will take more time. Then you probably have to...

Give some guy $5 to program it for you at https://www.fiverr.com or a site like that if you cannot do it. It will take someone with skills less than 15 minutes. Those 15 minutes should include testing and writing the "documentation"...

Yes. This could be accomplished in just a few lines of Python. And all the data should be able to be obtained for free from Yahoo Financials? He does ask about daily data. There is even a Python library to get the data: https://pypi.org/project/yahoofinancials/

Totally agree. It will take a long time, but it does also help you structure your thoughts. I started out making my first silly algo in 2014. Spent the next two years algo-papertrading, and went live in 2016 or so, and have been consistently profitable since. Do not know if my experience is...

Wow. That looks awesome
