I HATE Algorithmic Trading Systems, Guessing Clicking is Easier

  1. If you want to make alot of money in the market you will have to do it manually and aggressively and have great timing and understanding in the market. Grow and compound the account. There is no other way.

    Automated trading systems don't even deliver S&P annual average returns. They don't even deliver CD, treasury bond rates of returns most of them.

    Some folks have been able to make them work. I have not because I am not a programmer and second it is nigh impossible in my opinion (only in my opinion) to program all the variables and the why's and depth or size of a coming price move. Some variables are known. Others are unknown. Others are only known after they happen. Others are just plain unknowable. I can't imagine trying to program that.

    This thread is full of shit.
    You should be banned for quoting me alongside it.

    I haven’t even read all of it, but good luck becoming an 'ES Master' with dumbed-down market microstructure and economic theories.

    That might be enough to impress your mom, but don’t even dream of handling the coffee at a prop trading firm.

    500 ES contracts w/o margin cost about $150M+/-. If the 30 year is 5%, I'll take the safe $7.5MM.
