I never predict market direction, i follow it. My win rate is below 50% anyway. Also being a one lot piker is nothing to be ashamed of, almost everyone starts that way.
gee, been at this for over 25 years (late starter) so can I still be considered new? ps nice dodge. phonies never want to call even one trade. even a tiny one. outed !
Maybe back when you started in the 90s making calls was very common. Trading today is algo based. And i have been using the IB API since 2004 to write my trading algos. I used to dabble in discretionary trading, but it is not my thing. Better to let the probabalistic algos handle the long losing streaks and let them come out a head after 100 trades.
Even if that was true, have your skills so deteriorated that you couldn't post a single scalp winner?
I fear that you are waiting in vain. The last IB rep who was here on this forum left quite some time ago. IB is also no longer a sponsor of this forum.
In the results conference call last week they talked about how software development was a big bottleneck for them and that the closure of the market making division has already and would lead to more developers being allocated to their brokerage business.
