What?!? If you can trade profitable with your own money, as you claim, why would you not be able to trade profitably with other peoples' monies? What...on...planet earth are you on about? If your system works, the funding source should matter not one jot, not one tittle.
Interactive Brokers (IB) Trader Work Station (TWS) is one of the largest brokers in the industry, go look it up. If you download the TWS sim you will see that what I done is from a live account, not a sim account, as they are not the same. The minimum account opening balance with IB is $10K. This is the screenshot that shows I am connected to live data, with my account number removed.
You are connected to live data, OK...If I download the TWS sim I will see that you are on a live account? I can connect to live data on a sim account also through my broker. Still not seeing it here, dude. Your screenshot here shows absolutely NOTHING that says this is a live money account. All I see is a toolbar. WTF, assume that everyone else in the universe is a stupid idiot, like me, as you have proclaimed me to be in a previous post. Just show us your actual live trades, on your live money account, using live real-life money, with live real-money brokerage statements, with a real-life screenshot, live real live live real stuff. Stop talking about SIM. Anytime you put the word "sim" in anything you say, everything you do is sim. So stop saying "sim". If you want people to show you the money, then show us the money. The real-life live real money. After all, that is what you ask from everyone else.
You really are inexperienced, but at least you are asking and not like the others who think they know everything. Making money with sim is not the same as making money with live. Once you get profitable with your comfort level, you stay profitable. Once you change your comfort level things change, and it is very easy to start losing quickly as you are taking on more risk. Forget about the textbook rubbish and listening to idiots who do not trade. Larger size trading does not equate to larger size gains, as you have now introduced a major mental component that can easily tilt the balance against you. If you think I am dreaming, then try and get talking with those who have tried it, as I have done, and which is why I am trying to find a few more of those Elite Traders here, which is looking very unlikely at the moment.
I am sorry but I will not spoon feed you anymore. You must do some work if you want to learn anything. Those who use IB know that what I say is true, so go find an IB TWS user and ask. When you are at it, why don't you ask @profitlocker to post some details about his super duper proprietary methods, or are you afraid to ask him for a screen shot of his brokers toolbar, let alone trying to get him to post a chart with a trade marked up on it. Do you not see that his like are just dreamers, and they do nothing but waste your time. As I mentioned, if he or anyone else posts the details I asked for, I will give my honest opinion, in the same way any person can give their honest opinion about the trade details and chart details that I posted. Do you not see how silly this is getting. It is called diversion tactics, but I have been around long enough to know talkers when I see them. So far, not one trader here has stepped up to the plate, and when I post live trade details, with a chart also, I get accused of posting from a sim account. Tell you what, let's pretend it is a sim account then, in fact, let's pretend everyone here is on sim accounts, and let's just discuss the trades themselves. Watch what excuses start coming out now.
Hi. You may find more information via C2. They have many various systems. You can search for ES systems. Once you find one you're interested in, you can review the systems stats and past trades in great detail. You can PM the system developer as well...not sure if you have to register to do that. A quick search and I found one ES system as an example...or at least 'ES' is in it's name (I didn't read its description or review its trades.) https://collective2.com/details/100859365
Thanks, I had a quick look at the trades report and his stats are not good. The first thing that jumps out is that his losers are far higher than his winners. This is not the sign of a good trader. A good trader will have his winners far greater than his losers. This guy will not last, believe me, as he does not know what he is doing. He also had over 48% drawdown, which shows he really hasn't a clue what he is doing. It is very hard to find someone who actually knows what they are doing in this game. As I mentioned, most confuse time opportunity with skill, and think they are smart, when in reality they just happened to be in the right place at the right time, but unknown to themselves. I am looking for the best of the best, which will not be very easy, as very few are good at daytrading the ES. Even the big players are not that good, but as they use OPM on a large scale they don't really care. However, if I do not try then I will not know. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Who knows, maybe I will find a real @Handle123 or a real @profitlocker , but the more this thread goes on the more I am thinking it will just not happen.
Ok. I just posted that as an example. They have something called a Grid that can be used to find systems by all sorts of criteria: https://collective2.com/grid You can use an optional C# based language for more advanced queries. I'm just pointing you in a possible direction for your possible investigation; not necessarily leading you to water.
IB Papertrader (simulated) does indeed use live data piggybacked off your real account. I know this because I use it to test run my algos before I take them live. I can understand the OP skepticism, but the only way to validate real performance is through third party audit, which has been discussed here over and over again. Unless I'm attracting investors or selling a service, it's a nonsensical thing to do, just so I can flex my penis here. I personally see no edge in day trading ES because of its symmetry. I offered my opinion here, and wish those who trade it the best of luck.
Thank you again, but I have checked out C2 in the past and found it to be nothing more than an advertising site for traders who can not trade. For example, if you look up the profile for the ES trader you posted about, it is saying he is an ex HFT trader. Now, you must ask yourself why is an ex HFT trader on C2 trying to get people to follow him with numerous strategies. The facts are, there are very few in this game that can actually trade. Those who do trade a lot, usually work for some big organization and trade OPM, but let them at their own account and they wouldn't last a week. I am looking for someone who has done it him/her self, and is now trading large size with ES, of say 10 contracts per trade. Contrary to what most think, trading 1-2 contracts is not the same as trading 10 contracts, just try it and see, but be very careful, as if you pick the wrong day to try it you could lose a nice bit of money if you are not paying attention.
