From what I've seen of IBKR's sim-accounts (DU-prefix) you can basically buy the bid and sell the offer. The worst simulated fills of any major broker. There is nothing here proving that your automated trading is legit. I'm sorry, but this is just a journal for entertainment. I am sure that you're turnover is light so that it's not your intent to game the system, but there is no educational value in shorting naked upside as a methodology. The nickel and steamroller thing. Nowhere have to posited a caveat that this is sim, until now. Mea culpa if you've been legit and declared that this was sim.
There is nothing to be sorry about destriero. I state clearly in big letters on my website that I hold periodic public illustrations on paper trading accounts on Elite Trader. Check yourself if you doubt: https://www.datatime.eu/public/gbot/ I have been doing this for decades, and it comes to me as a surprise that you realize that only now, and after more than 300 days of this public illustration where I am publishing constantly the Dxxx account number. It's however better late than never That is right destriero. This journal is meant to be pure entertainment for those who lacks suitable capital. Anyone else, instead, who has the required capital can get my platform (as clearly stated on my site) and - if he wants - he can publish the results of his real money account here on Elite Trader. I am not so stupid as to show my own money on a public forum. As far as I am concerned, consider me homeless. I am just a homeless university professor. But - if you have suitable capital - I invite you to get for free the platform and I challenge you to publish everything in full transparency on Elite trader. Clearly, if you have suitable capital. For the special occasion, I renounce here publically my share of profits Further, what you say is evidently wrong, as anyone can check the prices in my file, see the current bid and ask for all my orders and verify that you do not know what you are talking about. In fact, all the orders are LMT orders issued rigorously at ASK for buys and BID for sells. So stop the idiotic defamation attempt calling on the spread, as you are just defaming your intelligence. Rest assured that results on real money accounts are always superior, as far as execution is concerned. It can also be easily verified by anyone running the platform parallel in paper and real money accounts.
Not interested, thanks. I've posted a half dozen runs, in real-time, to this journal: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/dests-everything-journal.332136/page-10 Screenshots posted within one minute of taking the pic. The single-name prices and news match the time stamp. I haven't defamed you. Your posting sim-gains as real and stating we'll have to trust you. On a sim-platform that offers absurdly unmarketable fills. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/dests-everything-journal.332136/page-11#post-4859112 Posted in a hotel lobby while on goto.com with my wife. There's my account number. U265660x; not sim, production.
Nobody says to trust anything. I offer ample and free possibility to anyone with suitable capital to experiment in all ways and forms ("paper", "real" or whatever) with my approach and algorithmic platform, and then eventually trade only when, and if, fully comfortable. (I will not tell you how many investors and capital are currently with me, in order not to spur further your envy. But in the last 25 years, I had time to make a few connections ) Your claim about filling buys at the bid and vice-versa is highly defaming to me. And anyone can check that you are laying (not sure moved by what feeling), in 2 simple ways: - first, check the execution price of each order and the current bid/ask in the execution file or from the broker statement (always available) - get my platform and experiment by himself. Everyone is invited. I am sorry if you lack the capital needed to accept my offer. But it's not my fault. (I did all was in my power to find trading methods that could be used by the undercapitalized too, but I could not find anyone. At least so far.)
"Your claim about filling buys at the bid and vice-versa is highly defaming to me." Truth hurts. You're sim-trading bc you're false. I posted actual net liq and performance screenshots in real-time and you can ignore that fact all that you want, but you're a fraud. There is no disclaimer on here that you were posting sim. You link your site which means nothing other than you're advertising here without paying Baron for sponsoring your simulated-trading bot BS.
Again? You seem to be here the only one who does not know me. I have been doing "public illustrations" on paper trading accounts for decades, on ET and other discussion groups. Almost every post I made prints clearly the account number Dxxxx on every screenshot and you are still insisting? I am making the best use of the Journal section, discussing ideas and strategy, and Baron can be proud of my contribution, which contributes to making this place "Elite". Not your posts, offensive, defamatory and often non even intelligible, written in some funny "professional" jargon that you invented to delude yourself.
You've been here since 2010. Decades? You embarrassed yourself on statist's thread. Luckily he's even more clueless than you are. Yeah, boxes and rolls are something that I made-up. You're a sim-trading snake oil salesman. Bye.
Now I get it. So you were offended that I found a slightly better solution than yours for the statist's problem, after sincerely praising its intelligence (not yours, but of "your" solution), and now here you came, discovering for the first time my work, which has been going on for decades, and start a useless opera of defamation, like a war against the windmills? Wow! What an odd personality, you have. I will not sleep tonight, thinking that a genius, such as you, does not hold me in the highest consideration.
Now that the idiot of the village is hopefully busy spreading his wisdom elsewhere, in the famous Statist's thread, we can finally return to our illustration. Today ES has risen a bit: ES FUT 20220617 GLOBEX 50 → ES FUT 20220916 GLOBEX 50 → ES FUT 202212 CME 50 → ES FUT 202303 CME 50 ah, btw, in case anyone did not notice so far, please note that on the top right (or top-left in case of PNL summary) of the hundreds of pictures I posted so far there is an account number Dxxxx Clearly, that is a real "paper trading" account and not some label I put there to hide a real money account full of real $$$: I am poor. And have no $$$ whatsoever (lo dico nel caso qualcuno della Guardia di Finanza si imbattesse per caso nella thread) PNL has gone up a bit, but still not break the last high water mark: PNL trajectory so far: 355.9K at the moment. Now it would be interesting what is the total payoff of the 67 options layers of options we have currently on the platform. I will let you guess what could be the "general shape" that we have been building up Let's see who can at least guess it! What do you expect? Will we make more $$$ if ES goes up or vice-versa? Can you see it?
