    It might not be good for day trading during today's US session.

    Yesterday US index futures moved during the European session.

    Today US index futures moved during the CPI news release / before the US session.

    well. things might change later.

  2. LOL embarassing but account is over. Terrible day plus platform issues, than lost internet. Thankfully I could connect via my second connection and didn't do any damage to my main account.

    I am going to pass another one of these and try it again though. No excuses I failed it, just wish I would of failed under better circumstances if that makes any sense.

  3. In general yes, wasn't a good day for me. Traded bad (even though I was up at break even prior to platform issues). Anyway Really dissapointed I failed, but my main account is fine and in profit.... so I'll take what I can get.

    Day ain't over yet man. Right now is where you really make your money, especially if we can break below this resistance.

  5. Yeah, I made $510.00 on my main account (which is pretty big day for me). However, this live-sim funded account got blown up. Platform had an issues, than lost internet by the time I got back on damage was done.

  6. This account cost me $23.00 .... not that I wanted to waste the chance to make money. But will just purchase another one and once I pass it will go for round 2.

    Won't be posting on this thread anymore, since account failed.

    Thanks for anyone that read or commented.

    Do you have the means to do your own thing rather than use them?

  8. No. I just use these. Withdrew $510.00 from my main funded account today. With micro mini's they give me enough risk capital to trade, it's actually pretty generous (if you use micro mini's). Eventually I'll get like 4-5 or more accounts and just use a trade copier and trade 1-3 micro's. So mentally I'll be trading the same thing, however in reality I'll be trading 5-15 Micro's.

    Yeah but the downside is you are forced to trade within their system and their rules, rather constructing your own system. If you like their rules you can integrate them into your system with your rules, but not vice versa if your rules conflict with theirs. Also, with micros you can trade with a small account on your own rather than use them. Less middle men if you cut them out and forge your own system.

  10. Fair enough, but people way over state the issue about their rules or etc, because they can't trade. That's just my perspective and opinion. I like taking this route and will keep playing it out. If I run into major issues, will consider a change.

    Have someone working with me to make automated bots and etc. Had a slight issue with platform today, but frankly my main platform also had issues and than I lost internet.

    I didn't have stops in this account, was manually closing and entering, so it's certainly my fault and could of prevented in.
