In an actual account or in paper trading? I was trying to enter one based on what you said and so far I've given up 5 cents from the mid price...
This study goes back to cherry picking though - First I'm not sure that 6 years of a bull market with contracting volatility is a representative...
Ok - I'll bite - care to share more (what you are doing - how you derive profits with an overall 0 sum outcome) or is that the extent of your...
Nice work on the profits - looks like the average trade size/leverage went up overall though - if I sum the credit of the first 10 trades it's...
