It's funny how people are eager to jump in and criticize.

I have trading experience. I know how markets work. I started this $1,000 account to formally outline performance of a solid strategy from the beginning. I couldn't do this for my personal account as the trading history reflects different strategies I was testing when I was still in my "learning phase"

1. I am making some where between 100 - 5,000 trades a day. Not all high-frequency is automated. (my exits are).

2. All the programming skills in the world is not equivalent to a consistent strategy. A lot of broke, starving programmers out there ;). (I have OANDA API access and about 7+ years C++, Java)

3. I am trying to build a verifiable trading track record which I can present to ANY type of investment firm. FCM's looking for emerging CTAs, Firm looking for a Market Maker, or Prop Trader at a Bank are just roles.

I am not really here to disclose my strategy, get lost in the financial vocab, justify my trading or programming experience.


I am here to make 11,000 pips this year. Is that good enough for you trolls? ;)

Right now I have a simple command-line set-up with the API (I have API access) for execution purposes only, no fancy GUI.

Pros and cons depend on your strategy. It does what I want it to do, so I have nothing bad to say.
 
I pretty much got instant gratification on the UJ trade. But unfortunately I got out at 84 and did not catch the excess move.

But there is still some good news. I have managed to now be ahead by ~6.5 days (it is past midnight after all).

Account balance for Day 22 should be at $1,968.00. My actual balance currently stands at 2,717.06. Above $749.06 for what I should be for today/tonight. And about 717.06 above what is should be for Wednesday.

Now I can sleep in peace!

Took the last couple of days off to relax and clear my head. Back on again today/tonight. I am looking to short UJ @ 85.8 and 86 are attractive levels. 82 as a soft target.. but definitely back to 83s

Very interesting.. Keep the good job. However, i am wondering because if think you are very comfortable with your trading style and profitability, why you didn't start with bigger capital.. This will short your journey to rich.. If i were you , i would start with larger capital... However, so far, so good.

You are you; and I am me. I will never be you and you will never be me.

I am operating this fund more for resume purposes than I am for personal monetary interest (read my earlier posts).

You make me laughing here.

"You are you; and I am me. I will never be you and you will never be me"

I havenot said i want to be you. your sentence here is irrelevant however it is true. I would never wants to be anyone else except me.. That is why i said " if" "were". = TOTALLY HYPOTHEtical

^ troll.

Lets see if your English is any better in a year.

I am completely calm :)

I am not underestimating people. You PM'd me asking about "OANDA API" and the subject suddenly changed to "Well, how do you trade JuniorCTA?"-- You are just angry I caught your bullshit early.

Hi, Thank you for your response. Actually , i am really interested in your trading style. The reason is i think i am trading using a similar approach. very frequent scalping on the shortest time frame and turn a high volume per day.
Do you have stop losses?
Do you trade in cycles?
how to manage the trades on loss?
If you could provide the custom software that handle API devoid of any trading logic, how much would cost?

I wish you all the best and keep in touch

My reply: What does what I do have ANYTHING to do with the API? I am not in the business of software development. Do you know how to use google?


And of course, after these message exchanges, he comes onto this thread and trolls. "IF I WERE YOU, IF YOU WERE SO SMART, IF YOU ARE SO CONFIDENT IN YOUR STRATEGY, I WOULD USE MORE MONEY etc, etc."


Typical.
