Humoristic irony regarding execution.

triggger · Sep 23, 2008

Now that finally I have a good scalping strategy, I can't pull the trigger LOL. I am well capitalized with 5 k -- good amount for scalping.
Can someone help me please. I don't know how to automate trading and don't want to waste time learning to do that.

Is 5k too much for you to lose? Ask yourself this. You need to find your underlying[b/] reason(s) why you are scared. Start with, fear to lose, past performance, faith in your method and faith in your self. good luck. One suggesttion that I have heard for this problem is to try to execute 100 trades in a day and only aim to cover the vig.

Do your stratgey in a sim account using excel...

If you can't get it modeled and trading in excel in a sim account why would you want to roll it out?

1) You're the first person I have encountered who has bragged about having a "5 k" account.

2) You're psychologically undercapitalized if you're not confident enough to trade your own system.

so what exactly are you looking for?

someone to pull trigger for you?
some mental support?
a partner?
an assistant?

Join a prop firm/group/private fund - discuss with them. I def know of a few who can figure a way to solve your problem.
