YM Traders

Quick question for anyone who trades more than 10 lots of YM, if I may: do you bother using iceberg limit orders to hide your true size, that is if your broker lets you simulate this type of order? I know IB do, but not sure about others.

Unbelievable move down... just another move missed because of school.

You didn't miss anything

unless it is in your system

most likely you would not have went short.
 
Quote from blackguard:

1) I put a few more of you all on ignore today.

2) currently up 15 points on the trade, though I really lost because my timing was off. However money is money.

1. Very good, although you might miss a few teaching lessons. For example today after 1 pm the Stochs were going down although the Dow stayed up until 3 pm. So you had 2 hours to get the hell out of longs...

2. Currently down like what? 40 points? Yes, your timing is way off. This and the last trade sucked big time....

Now I hope you are going to close it in the green, and I wish you good luck with your search for backers, nevertheless a bad trade is a bad trade....

But in porgie's style: u r the man! keep up the good work!

What is "most likely"? Lol, I am paper-trading all day from school.


Would have been long on the move up *paper traded on real paper from school on cbot), and traded the middle almost flawlessly with a 5 poing stop.

I have the paper-trade to prove it on NinjaTrader.
I have from 2:57 to 4:15 on NinjaTrader, shorted at 926 and also went long at 860 near the very end to take the newbies money for another 75



It would have been my 1000+ day today, and I'm loving it.

Just keep in mind you had all these huge up days when you papertraded before. Then reality hit when you went live. I hope you succeed this time in your live trading. Good luck.
 
coulda woulda shoulda is not in a trader's vocabulary.
Paper trading is fine for developing trading plans, but nothing can compare to real money.
 
You know what, I just typed a lot of BS for people that doubt success.

But 6 weeks, I'll let the trading do the talking.

That is all there is left to say about that.

I don't see anyone else showing P&L.

200k a year coolweb, wtf, don't you dare challenge my trades.

Now to top off all the BS, I just need porgie to top it off with some words of wizdom.

People are unbelievable on ET, no wonder why only 5% of traders make it. Unfuckingbelievable.

Gotta love trading, and the people invovled.
 
Jmow, good luck to you. Post your P&L on the discussion "Traders P&L" if you would like... don't worry, poeple won't talk bad about your results. It's a supportive discussion :)

But I would agree with the previous post - paper trading is nowhere near real money. No emotions in paper trading and plenty of that with your actual money.
