You'll need to automate it. And from what's been said, VST does use an algo. So no problem. But manually trading it...
If a persons scalps for 1 tick then they can do that multiple times on one 5 min bar. There are 81 five min bars in the day session. Scalp each 5m bar multiple times. But at the end of the day you will become nauseated to look at the commissions you pd and your broker will be eating ribeye instead of a burrito at taco bell!
I will sometimes scalp a 1m chart but it requires intense concentration and focus and very quick decision making.
What if you can pick up pennies scalping but also try to catch a breakout or run? There is nothing to prevent you from doing it in day trading. Isn't that what VST and we all are trying to do? However, it is hard enough making a discretional decision, much harder to do it with algo?
VST has all kinds of Strategy Performance Reposts that any TradeStation user can generate. For someone who is doing what he claims he is doing, why bother with trolling for chat room users?
That was a nice run buddy, with this kind of rate of return, have you reached million profit from trading yet.
Good Morning doubledoubledoublecup, Yes it is. No, no millions profit yet. Slowly, be surely I will reach a million.
