Those types of software running can really slowdown trading platforms/apps. I never do any web surfing on my trading boxes and I use separate boxes for trading platforms and charting. Ninja of course I run all on one box and have never had any problems fortunately.
AMT, apologies if this has been asked before . . . . I've read all of this thread and a lot of your other posts . . . . What size of resting inventory becomes relevant, 1000cts, 5000cts, 10000cts, 10000+cts, before you define a "relevant zone" of resting inventory? Or is it that the exit/targets is what you have to scale depending on the size of resting inventory? Or is it that when price moves by a certain "x" size, you determine the resting inventory and then do the scaling as above? You've mentioned before (not sure whether it was explicityly or implicitly) that you look for a 3pt pull back . . .
trading and managing so many different entries, how do you keep it straight in NT? WHen I scale in multiple times, NT will avg my cost basis for me and consolidate all of my entries so I find it hard to remember where my intial entry was. Since you manage your trades as individual and consolidated positions simultaneously, I'm just wondering how you keep up with that?
I think he's mentioned that he has several accounts, and several trading "boxes", plus he's been doing this for a while (proly between 5-10yrs) . . . . So, I'd assume, he's got it down to the T[-bone] by now . . . If you practice the same discipline/routine for 5-10yrs, you'd know what you're doing between accounts/screens/charts, no?
Several accounts and several boxes would make consolidated trade management more difficult. Conversely, using 1 account and 1 box would make individual trade management more difficult... Disregarding that, I was just wondering whether there was a technique he uses or just plain experience when it comes to keeping everything in harmony.
Yes, but he's been doing this for a while, he CAN manage the different boxes and accounts because he has the overall (macro) picture and the micro picture down very clearly . . . so this is no problem for him . . . it's actually entertaining, maybe some challenge for him to shift between accounts, b/c price, cummdelta and AMT is too easy for him . . . . Actually wouldn't this be really trivial, if we have one account, 1 box and 1 trade? Ya got it . . . it's experience . . .
LOL, I'm not (even though you're asking him), I'm just reading into his posts. Either I'm very smart or extremely stupid . . . something's gotta give . . or maybe I'm a +125 post troll to rile up star count . . . you never know . . .
BTW, I know you're not one lacking in logic, you're a programmer afterall . . . . . I'm not, so maybe you're the hired thread/star count count "consultant" . . . . . . . . whichever way, it doesn't matter to me, as long as this thread keeps going . . . and we get input from AMT
