      Or, you could start with a small account and maintain an astronomical sharpe ratio. Show off those results in the trade explorer and then use social media to publicize your performance. Maybe someone will notice and buy the system from you. You will ...

      Selling your trading system

      Figure out a way to fund it, would be my advice. Raise money from friends and family. Don't give out the system. As more people pile into a system, it stops working. It seems counterintuitive. Because if more and more people put on the same trade, ...

      Thanks. I understand what you're saying. The point I was trying to make is that when you get in, you have to get out. So, to make one full trade, you have to account for transaction costs on both sides. Now, you make a profit or a loss by getting in ...

      Based on what Jeremy said, it would be $18 roundturn, if he's paying a little over $1000 per month in commissions. Maybe, it's a slick marketing strategy for the brokers and banks to advertise commission per side? As you can tell, I'm a a cynic. ...

      MB Trading. That's not high volume. Note that I never put on more than $1M at a time in positions. Usually, MB has 3-6 millions dollars in size on bids and asks. I guess my overall commission cost is a bit lower because MB pays you for limit orders. ...

      Not that big of an account. I do longer time frames as well but I tried to micro-manage my trades too much. For example, "oh, E/U is 1.2900. Round number. I'm long and making money, but I'll get out and wait for it to retrace back to 1.2890 and then ...

      What else is out there that competes with MT4? Nothing I can think of is used by multiple brokers. And the only reason people want MT4 is so they can program their own EAs. MT4 is in a pretty sweet spot and they've gotten very complacent. Seems to ...

      OK I guess I'll come out with it. We're considering creating a competitor to MT4. Why? Because MT4 has a steep learning curve that most retail traders cannot get over. And besides, it's pretty buggy. I'm a quant (not a wannabe, but a real quant with ...

      Thank you for the information. I searched for MT4 server cost and found some more info. You can do one of two things: 1. Buy an MT4 server license for $100,000. 2. Buy an MT4 White Label for a fraction of the cost and it comes somewhat integrated so ...
