Vee, Not surprised to see this type of rigor, but lets take a quick step back. Few very basic questions: 1- Do you have an alert/s study that will signal when your conditions are met? 2- One for long, and another for short? 3- Also, what type of ...

Trade another day through Systematic Trading

Lets be very clear hilmy, the reason i stop by this thread is because you have occasionally solicited comments and advice from other traders. My participation here is for your benefit. Since you clearly don't see it that way, there is not need to ...

H, Personally i don't trade with a daily target. However, it is solid advice for any new or struggling trader, especially those with discipline problems. The magic in this business comes from CONSISTENCY, not getting more ticks per day/trade (aka ...

I can vouch for cts and cqg with amp... TT and Rithmic are also good but I use them on other clearing firms.

DD, I added dates to the bottom of this post, however, its important to understand that a black/grey swan type event is not required for a Stop Market order to not be "respected". If you really want to understand the risk i described, these are much ...

V, You need to be enjoying your vacation, not worrying about liquidity gaps. Go get a cocktail with an umbrella in it. When you get back i'll share a few algo functions that can help mitigate the risks. These are what some of big boys use. Then ...

Plan the Trade

DD, I just wanted to point out that illiquidity events do occur, not often, but often enough to consider how to potentially mitigate the risk. If your Stop market order is not matched, eventually isn't resubmitted, and then the market runs ...

Plan the Trade

This is only partially true. If there is a liquidity gap and your Stop Market order does not find a match after few attempts, your order will need to be resubmitted, manually. These events are rare, but do occur.

It's never about the $$$, it's always about the RR. Real $$$ is a product of position sizing, and position sizing is determined by two factors: Consistency & Avg.RR Judging performance based on $$$ is a poor idea. Take care, and looking forward to ...

Trading Made Simple

There are many benefits, but latency is usually the first. Any trader on lower timeframes will see a benefit with all aspects of execution, whether algo or manual. Redundancy is another great benefit. All depends on your definition of "need" . . . ...

Price only moves because of executed transactions on the bid/ask. Therefore, price is a consequence of what happens on the book. Can price alone entice a buyer/seller? Sure, but that transaction will have to occur on the book. Everyone is entitled ...

No, it is not common sense, it is foolish and very naive. If you know the rules of the system, then another traders execution should hold no value to you. Its all about how YOU execute, not anybody else. Furthermore, basing your belief in a system ...
