I am using the very same live data feeds that I use for trading a real money account. You could put them side by side and not see any significant difference. The only difference is SOMETIMES SIM will sometimes execute when price is touched and sometimes it will not execute if price is touched but price has to go through by 1 tick. So, if that happens you have to see if the trade would have executed anyway because price did go through the price by at least 1 tick even if a split second after being executed on a touch price. Or on the very next bar did so. However, by far you won't see any difference in my SIM and my real money account the one that uses the very same data feed.
I got the other side front strut, rotary, brake pads, and ball joint replaced. I am stiff and sore. Quite the job.
@volpri -- You are an amazing example of a "Renaissance Man" (Vehicle Repair, Gardener growing your own food, Expert Trader,and Applied personal Psychologist) Thanks for your informative postings that are of great benefit to anyone reading or watching your YouTube posts. (Evidence of an advanced -- due to your conscious understanding and discipline -- of how a proper trading mindset is certainly required for Success!). THANKS for your Time and Effort to help others!
Thanks that is kind of you. This is just a journal and I hope it is beneficial to others in terms of expanding their thinking about trading. Not that I advise anyone to trade like I do in these posts and videos. Remember it has taken me years to clear my head, jettison some strong deeply seated traditional concepts about trading and discover some work a rounds. So, I hope the journal is thought provoking and at the very least entertaining if nothing else. It is always good to remember that what may work for me may not work for others and what works for others may not work for me.
Good Evening volpri, You are amazing man to fix your own car repairs. I use to work on cars like this in my 20s, now I just do not have the time. Great job with your car repairs.
