Yeah in my case, this wasn't really a live discretion problem. My trades are like 95% systematic at this point with just a couple minor forms of...
Yep. I'm adjusting as we speak. Spent the weekend studying if I can tighten my stops. Looks like I can by about 20%. And I've got an initial...
Good advice, thanks. I'll look into that option for sure. My system is systematic enough now that I didn't worry about "tilt" as much as I...
To put it in context, my interest in markets started March 2020 with the crash, got me intrigued. I was dumb enough to try trading at all as early...
Yeah it totally threw me, and I'm def still a relative newbie, been daytrading for 2 years. It just out and out kicked my ass this month. So...
I hadn't thought of it as a time problem, that's interesting. I'll play around with that see what I come up with. How long you been paper trading...
Thanks! I'll check those threads out. It was made even worse by a fatfinger that cost me my best win of the week. Conditions got me rattled I...
Past couple weeks have been nuts and murder on my system. I tried using my usual stops on a few of these days where the initial balance was double...
Interesting. I've played around with level 2 a few times, but I never got the hang of it well enough to trade it. Now I start trading around the...
LOL, just saw this. I don't mind the rage. Let it out! You got any general wisdom for someone who's planning on switching to NQ futures in the...
It's never that neat. I wish it were. Intraday, it ranges from about 40.5 to 42.5
Gotcha. Thanks! Sounds like for the foreseeable future, I can keep using QQQ as my NQ signal system then with an acceptable amount of slippage....
That sorta makes sense. So if I'm understanding you're basically saying the syncing is consciously executed and monitored to prevent arbitrage...
Yep, that's close to what I've found. It's been 42.58 or so for me, aka $850 for every dollar move of QQQ. But how the hell do they track so...
This place really is full of aphasic chatbots still working out the kinks.
The setups I use are penny neat on QQQ oftentimes. That won't be the case at all with NQ so I'm wondering if it's dumb eventually to just trade NQ...
Okay, "algos" sure. But you've got different sets of people trading each. Not everybody who buys in and out of QQQ is also in the futures market....
Interesting, where you getting 36.75 from? I'm a day trader on the 5 min chart. Every 5 min candle I've compared it's more like 42.
This thread is off to its usual great sunday morning start.
Thanks scoop. Of course I know that. Question is how do they do it so uniformly?
