once again why don't you back up your claim!! look at it from my perspective.. you came int o my journal and said you know all about spreads then you ended with well
based on your last post where you show the slippage in spreads it means you know nothing abouit spreads.. ok well my journal floor is yours "cupcake" why don't you show me an example so we can learn how and why you think i dont know anything about spreads based on what i wrote about slippage and sometimes getting LEGGED!? i wont attack just for illustrative purposes show us what you know and you can start by
letting us know what execution plat form you are using for your spread

Back up what claim exactly? I never said i am extremely profitable trading spreads ... Neither did i ever say i all know all about spreads ... You might not believe it, but slippage doesn't affect me that much, just like when you are aiming for 50 NQ points target outright a few ticks or a point of slippage (which rarely happens, i just gave that number as an example) doesn't matter that much in the end. Additionally when i enter a spread and i get slippage to the upside one will get negative slippage and one positive. Both can end up with negative slippage but that is very rare.

Now i am going to leave it here since nothing constructive is going to come from this.

it has not been exactly destructive now has it though.. i would say it was neutral but again slippage and fees as a non 106 trader will be your biggest expense outside of error trades when you get legged. I have worked prop with the best algo spreaders created as far as i am concerned and even those guy struggled a lot even with member cme pricing and rebates on volumes. they arent day trading swing trading those puppies they are the book one giant iceberg but even then with this low liquidity environmnet you dont get to put on the size you sued to be able too. you make your money your way and i will make my money my way! "have it your way" lol mcdonalds or is that coca cola..
 
the small account challenge today i am up 194.07 at 1,916.50 i was actually down 50 bucks after lunch giving back a total of 230 in profits but then making it all back in teh last 2 hours those kinds of day are the ones i dislike because the mkt becomes work and diggin out of holes you create is lots of work.

why did it i give it all back? i thought i knew what the mkt would do. and i increased my size 3 fold!! and sure enought that is the exact moment the mkt flew higher against me an it felt like it was not going to stop.. anyway i made it back but i am below my high point of plus 237 on this small acccount challenge (SAC) the small sac abahahahaha ahhaahah ahah

i never heard of revenge trading until i saw someone use it on a forum.
in 20 years i never heard of this revenge trading.

It seems to be systemic. losing is natural in futures trading just like winning. i am
very emotional at times but i dont get to excited when winning or too mad when losing. in stead of being angry i look at it and say am i wrong am i right where is it going and when.. just exit is always best and i still struggle with that one as we all do!!
 
Tradeovate has these trophy cards that pop up randomly when you accomplish some stuff and you can toggle them off and on but the nice thing about them is if you want to send a screenshot to a friend it allows people who dont trade to see that you had a good day or a good week,. I got one this afternoon that said congrats you had a 10 % day. I actually like these awards when at first i didnt but it allows me all by myself to have something to remind my self that hey man you kicked ass today great job!

I am not sure if this works in demo or not because this is live trading but maybe stuff like this could be used by other companies to certify if results are demo or live.
 
I am still looking for that big sell it is coming in the nasdaq be ready. I hope to break the 200 dollar mark tomorrow on the small account challenge so that puts the account above 2000 and once i hit 2,500 I will size up and hopefully start to move this account higher to a point where it can be trading multiple styles but that takes money.

Have a great night. You can tell from writing that during the day i om a different leve. i am out for blood and take no prisoners all day everyday when i am in the market
