Hello everyone..!
As promised I will be doing a journal based on my experience with TSTâ¦
I was planning on trading E6 (Euro FX) and ES (E-mini S&P 500)!
I logged in today and I set up my platform⦠Currently I have 3 winning trades, 2 losses and 6 breakeven trades!!! Iâm -$25.00 and something in commissions.
Right off the bat I would like to say that the platform is easy to set up and TST provides you with both level 2 and charts in an easy to set up format.
However, the platform is not suitable for high frequency scalping (at least not in simulator mode)â¦! I have 6 breakeven trades due to the fact that the platform executed me at the next available price⦠Two of my wins also received cuts due to platform execution and more than a few were turned into breakeven trades⦠You can not sit on the bid/offer in simulator. Perhaps this is due to my ignorance of the platform but I could not execute anything on the bid/offer side.
Sometimes there is a lag between what you point click and what you get⦠I clicked repeatedly to get a price and nothing happened⦠Then I got a 3 lot fill instead of the 1 I wantedâ¦! Thatâs ok⦠I did click it but there was some serious lagâ¦! It is a simulator and that's what happens.
I was planning on trading E6 but that was halted and the connectivity never came backâ¦
See attached pictureâ¦!
