Trading Software for active traders (Futures/Equities)

Has anyone used Pilotrades? They claim a 72-80+ percent success rate and have examples on the site. Not affiliated in any way, just curious since they show my instrument NQ and timeframe.


You actually can google for 100% trading accuracy / 80%+ win rate system.
There are thousands of them.


If you see such a system, better run away from it immediately.
 
Agreed on the win rate. I wasn't really looking for advice on how a win rate can fail rather if anyone has experience with this company.
 
100 trades. 90 of them win for 1 tick each. 90% success rate.

Trades 91-100 lose 10 ticks each. Success rate drops to what, 88%? But you are now in a loss. You gained 90 ticks. but lost 100 ticks, with a 88% win rate (or whatever it comes out to be).

Win rate is not a measure of success.

Damn, Morthole! You are his disciple.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer urged viewers to buy Silicon Valley Bank stock last month

CNBC analyst Jim Cramer is once again being pilloried on social media after a clip resurfaced showing the “Mad Money” host recommending viewers buy shares of Silicon Valley Bank’s parent company, which owns the tech-driven commercial lender that swiftly collapsed on Friday.
 
Was fairly content with IB, but feeling like reaching its' limitations when it comes to features, speed and charts usability. Will appreciate good trading platform recommendations for active traders.

Requirements:
  1. Instruments - futures/equities/options (but can keep options out of it)
  2. Speedy with lots of small charts on the screen / ability to link them
  3. Trading hotkeys, price/volume/vwap, easy drawing tools, market replay
  4. Ideally macOS, but can work with windows..
Played with Ninja a bit, zooming in/out seems odd, volume is single color :( I'm sure there are solutions just first impressions.

Thanks in advance.
I don't know what just happened I was looking at the information and I didn't post the above??

Yeah, "pilotrades.com" is a scam. Avoid.
 
Question bro? Have you tried their system? The buy and sell signal service? What’s it like? I came across it sounded too good to be true trynna find a second opinion.

"Trynna"? If you think that is some cool shortcut to typing "trying to", you have been spending too much time on your smartphone. It is not the same thing as "Gonna'" as a shortcut to "going to" or Imma as a shortcut to "I'm gonna'"

I saw the results from someone taking the "pilotrades" recos and they were clearly terrible. Pilotrades blamed the client when the trades failed. Their quoted success rate is laughable. The only way that can quote a 70% hit rate is by risking 5 to make 1.
 
Right, research charting is separate. Still need to have quite a few charts at the moment of execution. MotiveWave looks promising. I like how they show cumulative PL after each execution, charts feel much more lightweight comparing to IB.

TradingView is what I use for looking at a lot of charts with great layout customization. Backtesting RealTest and AmiBroker. Tried AmiBroker for executions few years back but it’s not designed for that so lots of work and felt limited.

Ps. It seems to me that options and equities might need separate platform rather than futures and equities. With options need to look at the PL profile before sending it. IB is pretty good for that.
Did you ever try Ameritrade? That is former Thinkoswim platform builded by Tom Sosnoff and his crue he trade on this platform yourself several years , I just open up that platform and notice that platform very nice, I dont do option myself only futures ,that platform build specially for option
owner Floor trader Tom Sosnoff he sold this platform for Ameritrade .Now he build other good platform for option, for himself calling TASTYTRADE https://tastytrade.com/
 
Thanks I'm even going to take a look at it since it works with MAC OS
I try to look Motive Wave very promising platform only problem no costumer service at all,software office in base in Canada .
Sa far with CQG data was working good but i like to try to Ritmick data ,then will test on live trading sa far my opinion from 1to5 ...4.5 i will put 5 if platform was less complicated and easy to set up. But DOM is very good and you can custom for your preference is big PLUS.Chart is not the best in industry if you compare to Ameritrade .Both platform work in MAC. Strategy and lot of study for ALGO but Ameritrade definitely better only problem TD ameritrade DOM limitation for 1 click trading and main EXIT button they removed.
If you want trade 1 click you must hold shift button ,This is BIG ISSUE with this platform. overall that platform www.tdameritrade.com,
much better then Motive Wav.In end notice they have exceptional costumer service ! I call them and costumer service man guide me true step by step with respect i never seen in any broker .My first impression from Ameritrade 5 star.Ameritrade is also broker then you can trade futures,Forex,stocks,option in 1 broker.This broker only for US costumer.
