I see a lot of different opinions here. It is obvious that many of the negative points of view come from system traders, so they are asking...
Perhaps he is trading a retirement account and cannot short. The government, in all its typical wisdom, has decided it is too risky to use...
Thanks. I didn't know that. But the reason I have 3 different accounts through NT is not in order to trade different sims. For security reasons I...
Testing different strategies, different time frames, and different instruments.
Thanks for the comment. Since the strategy involved Renko bars, it may be that the more chop with the ES showed up as more whipsaws. A larger...

In automated daytrading strategy design, since no one strategy will work in all market types, do you design strategies to work in trending...

I haven't done this before, but I am told by NinjaTrader that you can open multiple sim accounts. I started using NinjaTrader because I can trade...
