There are various ways of funding an account One is by credit card PNL portal not found on Google??? Very strange They also state that this is for training and technology. It's possible that they are not reallly placing trades on the exchange but just take opposite position of small...

what time frame? any stops?

by 'work my way out' I assume averaging down?

Look at thestrategylab.com he makes money every day.

There does not seem to be any simple answer. following all the published rules doesn't seem to work either. you can probably average down in some intelligent fashion only if certain conditions exist. e.g. if original reason for getting into trade still exists.

Thanks for your input. wow 5 posts in 5 years.

Not sure how important it is to get in quick versus getting in at a good price. If I cant get a good price I would not get in.

my 2 cents. if price prints below your bid you are guaranteed a fill at your bid price. if it only touches your bid price I have gotten differing reports as to how often you get filled. I have only sim traded on OEC. Dont know what algorithm they use but sometimes they fill me on the...

what do you recommend then?

i just emailed openecry about this. I will post their reply (if I ever get one.)

but doesn't the sim program try to take this into consideration? after all It does not always allow me to get long at my original bid location. many times the bid moves away and I chase the bid and get in at a higher level but also seemingly at the bid at that level.

I am currently trading a sim account. I always enter long on the bid and short on the ask although I have to chase them around many times. Are the fills that I get in a sim account realistic? or will it totally fall apart if I trade a live account? Thanks.

unfortunately papertrading or sim does not match real life. If I get filled on a buy at the bid in sim or paper does not mean I would get filled in real life trading.
