on a serious note. trading CL sim and trading CL with real money is not comparable. you can easily lose $1000/contract in seconds and the pain from such a loss cannot be simulated!
This is why I'm still hurling sim cars with CL. I placed a stop order to trigger on pending news once and was down $1128 the minute it was filled because of the slippage alone. Thank god for sim, I learned NEVER trade CL until the news is on the table.
Happened to a cat on the CL-Redux thread yesterday. Went long after the first leg down with a $1 SL and in less that a minute his stop was hit. I never trade news with that beast.
this could be the week I fund my account afresh....totally pumped to start trading for real once more...did MASSIVE amounts of yard, home work stuff today...ate lunch at Wendys...
If you don't have a well tested strategy could you please just send me your money. At least one of us would be happy and I would be extremely grateful. Edit: You gonna post your trades live?
