{quote} Since he was showing his screen the only way he could have manipulated TOS or any other platform statement would have been to take a picture of the platform/statement, manipulate it by changing numbers, take a picture of the new statement and show it on his screen. This would require a lot of work and all he would achieve is to boost his ego. NG was all over the place Friday and had gaps on every time frame except H4 so this wasn't good trading conditions making it harder to make good trades. No good trades = no money {image}
I don't know.... cause sometimes he looks quite transparent as you can see from this video. What I don't understand is if I am really good at trading like him, I would just focus on trading itself rather than selling courses and posting youtube videos. Anyway.... By the way, gee... he really looks sick. Look at his eyes...

The demise of TD Ameritrade and Thinkorswim... Let me see how Charles Schwab would fix it. https://youtu.be/JEUZf4Vd8vA TD Ameritrade's Thinkorswim never have been a good execution platform.
15 min delayed execution??!!

{quote} 15 min delayed execution??!! https://youtu.be/wXLKc_HDJuU
Wow. TD has really gone downhill. I tried calling their customer service last week and gave up after waiting 15 minutes. I tried the next day and gave up again... I called my other broker, Schwab, and they picked up in about 30 seconds.

Fortunately I've not experienced any execution problems like the one in the video, but I agree TD isn't a reasonable option for traders if that's really happening. I think Schwab will get the tech right, but they seem less oriented towards active traders so I have my doubts about them. Interactive Brokers is probably the best right now.

Making videos and selling courses boosts his ego like "Look at me I'm a great trader". Maybe he lacks self confidence so he needs to show the world how good he is. I agree his eyes don't look good especially below his bottom eyelid. You can clearly see this in the video. He could be sick or he doesn't get enough sleep. In any case he doesn't look healthy.

NYMEX Membership (CME Membership)

Exchange fee is the biggest portion of the Futures trading cost. Broker commission is actually the smallest portion of the total cost (as long as you use discount brokers). If I lease NYMEX membership I can save about 28% of the total Natural Gas Futures trading cost. NYMEX Membership lease cost is very cheap compared to CME Membership. Interesting.....

{quote} Can someone locally manipulate TOS trading statement? I am starting to think Ricky might not be legit.... Last Friday he were sick and even didn't attend the live stream. And later he came up with a recap video telling he made over $2000 without much details. The NG market on Friday was especially choppy.... Grumpy I am, so I made some comments on his Discord channel. {image}{image} His recap video for last Friday: https://youtu.be/MeFosYL3FFw
Unsubscribed from all his channels. My gut feeling is he's hiding something although he may be a consistently profitable trader (at least for now). His strategy is basically fading the move from OB/OS levels using VWAP, MACD and RSI. It can work because NG has some mean reversion tendency in daily basis. He starts with a small position then adds up one or two more bigger positions when market moves in his favor targeting only a few ticks (yes, he's a scalper). When his first small position doesn't work, he gets out with reasonably small loss. If market turns the direction when he's fully loaded, he makes big loss. He also uses money stop with max day loss limit of $400-500. I admit he's good at reading the general context of the market. I also like his scaling up (adding to wining positions) strategy, rather than scaling down. However, to me it looks somewhat scary (and sometimes silly) trading. IMHO, counter trend trading isn't worth it. Actually, during his 30-60 min daily live trading streamings, he often ends up with loss. But when he posts Youtube short recap videos later, magically he comes up with profit without much details. How he so easily recoup big losses and even turns it into decent profits? If he's so good at trading, why his account size is only $50K with daily goal of $500? and why he sells courses and Youtube videos? It doesn't make sense to me. But one thing clear to me is his courses and Youtube videos are pure garbage. You learn nothing from them. So I said goodbye to him.

Natural Gas is very choppy from yesterday. My observation is that when expiration date is getting close, rolling over starts and the volume split into two contracts which makes the market choppy. When I traded NQ (Nasdaq) before, its spread and slippage became wider during roll-over period. One of the disadvantages in futures trading.....

Will this gap filled before the expiration? Gaps are filled most of the time. The problem is timing of course. They can be filled immediately or after several months...... Anyway, they are filled most of the time.

I've complained it for nearly a month and they didn't care much about it. Finally I was upset and strongly complained about it. They're investigating it now and gave me one month license extension.

As a long time (about 10 years) loser, I am not in any position to give you any advice but IMHO, I am afraid you don't have any edge trading Forex. Perhaps you yourself know that already.

He doesn't need to be a successful trader. He can sell his tools & EAs, training courses or Youtube videos just like others. Single one million viewed Youtube video can generate about $40K of income. He's talented and has a better odd to succeed than trading. I know Jason Stapleton was a consistent loser before he quit trading. Ryan is no worse than Jason at least.

If Ricky could made these trades he would not need any other source of income. Unfortunately they are not mine

Looks like a demo. In reality, more than 10 lots of single execution increases slippage. 25 x 10 lots is better than single 250 lots.

You should read this super honest posting from Hilmy83. It makes me think a lot of trading....................... Whoever saying trading is easy is a liar. Trust me. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threa...334231/page-15
The rule of thumb in futures trading is you wait until market open (9:30 am ET) to trade. However, some people find a better edge in Asian session. Hilmy83 is one of them. For details, read this: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threa...334231/page-22

It looks incorrect information. Actually, single one million view video can generate roughly $4700.

I don't understand people who saying Moving Average doesn't work. They only need to admit they don't have skill to profitably use this, or just say they don't need it in their strategies. That's enough. Just don't say "it doesn't work". It works just over and over and over again.... One of my best arms in arsenal.
Natural Gas faithfully respects moving averages. The best is 200 EMA. Almost always it respects 200 EMA in different TFs in various ways.....

Normal for newbies to have no respects for MAs but they will learn I looked at trading NG with my broker but the volume is way too low so there are gaps even on M1 charts. Does your market profile indicator help your trading?
