In fact I went to a course once where the vendor was angling to manage funds in the $1M class in a private advisory capacity. I told him if I had a million fucking dollars I wouldn't be taking his course.
OddTrader, you put that confused smiley in many (most?) of your posts. Is that your signature or are you really confused most of the time? :eek:
why does collective2 display hypothetical intraday results as if they were traded with > 20 lots? the #s are misleading there are also instances where historical fills listed are outside the price range of the actual trading that occurred. sketchy
I have/had a system on there but gave up because the trade interface is kinda klunky and awkward and still had some bugs in it. I agree, the fills aren't entirely accurate, because they (like all simulations) don't account for the cue (where you are in the place of the line of orders) and the size impacts on the market, and some other things. However, having said that, you probably aren't going to trade size that matters, or have to worry too much about the cue when you are starting out. The interface improves at a good pace, and Matthew is a good guy who works hard at making it a great product. All in all I'd say that it depends where you are in the learning process... It may be a good place to start, but as the budda guy said, you really need to figure that out for yourself. - The New Guy
