I do agree. I just wanted to get a sense of what you mean by mistake because the OP does talk about cutting losses short sometimes, and sometimes...
This opens up a whole can of worms. What is a mistake? Some of the time, you give the trade more room and it works, some of the time, you give...
Completely agree. Now that he is using his live account, there is no longer a need to talk about what can and can't happen, and how anything...
I once looked at another trader's trades, maybe about 20, and what jumped out at me right away was that it was only a few losses that made him...
Well this opens up a whole different issue. Yes, I'm sure there are firms out there that specialize in this sort of thing. I forget the name of...
I think that we first need to discuss what big traders are hoping to accomplish and how they do it. It is my opinion that big traders are getting...
Well... in my humble opinion, if you did truly have the experience/confidence, then even if this was a one-off mistake, you wouldn't need to...
My first thought is that you are asking for help, and yet dictating all the rules, which seems a little odd to me. You don't generally go to a...

Have you looked at Sierra Charts? It has a very nice monthly fee and works with IB. Also, you should mention your province because it matters in...
I'm confused here because marsman is still in SIM.. correct? So him even placing a bid order wouldn't show up anywhere since its not a real order...
Well if you're that busy, just don't post, or post but don't reply to other posts. Simple as that.
Its even worse then that. Its a matter of what happens when you don't get a fill. Will he chase, getting in later? Will he hold a loser that...
Well someone already suggested then that you try some live trades, and you rudely dismissed that, which is fine, its your money, but then I don't...
For the most part, the general criticism has been that your SIM fills won't be accurate enough to give you an idea about what to expect in LIVE...
I'm sorry but this is absolute bullshit.. just like everyone else says. If you are saying you don't give a shit about your strategy because it...
I don't imagine you will lose all your money. First of all, during the overnight session, you wouldn't even be able to hold 2 contracts as the...
