  1. the low profit margins is super scary for sure. That's why I'm nervous about the membership application. But it probably won't even matter. Once the trading bot is deployed to execute live trades and the execution quality is as bad as I fear, none of the fees will matter.

    Totally getting ahead of yourself. Buying a super expensive hardware Co Location and a seat to save *some* transaction costs will NOT make you profitable when that drawdown occurs.

    Based on what you posted, MOST people would NOT trade that system. It will only rack up huge commissions. Risk adjusted those metrics suck. It is as if you have never actually traded for real for any serious amount of time. Get at your draw down better by 70% at least. I would shudder to think your what your in trade MAEs look like.

  4. Getting ahead of myself is a horrible habit that my wife constantly complains about. Just to make you shudder on my MAEs, my average gain is $19.88. Average loss is $24.50. Highest loss in the past 60 days was $1,020 :wtf:. This is all just Monopoly money.
