Hello, I am currently in Top Step Trader in the $50K Combine account. What are your rules for the challenge? Thank you
this is not i am better than you stuff. (actually it was for TST) but i think there is an opportunity for learning both ways. DISC guys learning what makes algo tick and how they can apply and algos guys getting some ideas to possibly toss around. it you disc trade and blow up who cares. it demo money. i run 5 different PC in demo always in dev mode. learning is an ongoing process.
hi Mike .. you can follow the TST rules but modify for real world or just stay and see how it works. I will offer any comments or help if i can.
Hello tprintl, This sounds very fun and challenging. I use CTS as well. Just to make sure I understand, my daily P/L (discretionary mechanical trading) vs your daily P/L (automated algorithmic trading) ? That is very good you have algo trading for me. Maybe I learn something in the process? Thanks
I'm a Discretionary (intuition/skill/gut) trader. I'm not however interested in putting up a fantasy challenge to prove anything When I was first starting out, I would have gladly taken up this challenge -- but now, time is money for me. I'm fairly confident my % return will beat you -- both in fantasy game and real life trading acct.
90RT in one instrument alone? What was your total net PnL today, after commish and exchange fees? NET, not GROSS. How much did those minimum 90 RT cost you?
Algo algo algos. Seems to be the new fad. So it's all the algo peeps who keep messing up the ladder. No WONDER!
He posted a screenshot of his sim IB account. From there, it looks like today's commissions were $35K. This must be some sort of sim account idiosynchracy, because his account size is only $28K.
