    If your system profitability is depended on free, or nearly free, commissions, then you don't have a viable system. As regards coding, or jumping into a new software platform and successfully integrating with a broker with near zero defects, you are at minimum a year away.

    100 ? isn't large for large traders. Contact CME and ask who are selling/renting out seats, how much money you have to put up, when you have attend class. Costs depends on daily volume, over 10k is best prices plus you still need company to clear trades.

    I wouldn't even waste time coding up strategies at this point.

    Just train AI Agents to monitor your trades and generate a model to trade for you.

    Are you talking from experience ?

    Which AI "agent" ? Any ?

    What "model" ? A code ?

    Anyway, the AI will just sell my system to the next guy asking him...

    I checked again, looks like commission is not such a deal, $1 for roundtrip on ES is okay, but cheaper would be safer.

    How much would proffesional help cost me ? For a really basic system, and integration into IBKR.

  6. Ditto! What we all want is the "key to the magic city"... where we can turn on the computer in the morning, go play golf, then return in the afternoon to "pick up the money and take it to the bank... no worries".

    Yeah, right!

  7. Good Morning Scataphagos,

    I agree, nothing in trading is free, we have to work our butt off to get the money.

    I have a good question for you regarding Price TA, support and resistance.

    Have you ever experimented with Level 2 data to time your entries on support and resistance? Or you just use eyes and bars only?

  8. "Price TA... KISS" is all about making things as simple* as possible. What people "say/indicate" they're going to do or might do can be a distraction. All that matters is what they actually do... which is reflected in the price chart.

    * I recall an old-timer advising... "Simplify your system as much as possible... when you're done doing that, simplify again".

    No truer words were ever spoken.

    Would a regular software developer be able to use C# and program my trading system ?

    Or do I need a experienced trading systems developer ?
