I would like to smoke whatever you are smoking LOL

Trading Method or Trader's Mindset, What's More Important?
Tams replied to cornixforex's topic in Psychology
without a mindset, there will be no method. -
I am glad you know what you know. Like I said, I am glad you can do what you can do.
-
try this page: E-mini S&P 500

I think you have confused "complicated system" with the ability of a programming language. but I am glad you can do what you can do.

the OP wants to use C#, thus Ninja was suggested. TS can do a lot too, but EasyLanguage is not as powerful and flexible as C#.

no amount of risk management skill can make a bad trade good. 100% of bad trades begin with a bad entry. 100% of good trades that went bad begin with a bad exit. 100% of bad exits begin with bad risk management. YMMV

the problem is, people are celebrating the "incorrect" wins.

easy... go to EOTPro and buy their indicator.

many have sent a letter too. I am sure SEC receives thousands of letters every month on this subject. There is no need to rationalize whether trading options or futures is riskier. My advice is... save up $25k before you start, so you don't have to be aggravated by this rule. If it is too difficult for you to save up $25k, you will be shocked to find out it is even more difficult to turn $24k into $25k in the market.

if you have to ask these questions, you shouldn't be attempting it. you are not in the league.

Automatic Trading System on Traders Laboratory
Tams replied to bomberone1's topic in Automated Trading
what do you mean by "backtestet all system from 2003 to now."? how many iterations did you do? did you keep a record? can you post them so that we can analyze them? why did you test 1 min? did you try resolutions other than 1 min? what do you mean by "without any good results"? if the testing was bad, how did you lose money? -
you sound familiar... have you asked this question before? take a look at Ninjatrader. (free download) all the things you mentioned is already done... no use re-inventing the wheel. you should focus on the trading logic, not housekeeping.

What is your chart resolution? With Tradestation, you can only use minute chart or higher resolutions. ie no tick chart or any non-time based charts. With MultiCharts, you can draw on any chart format.
-
the first question I would ask is... are you using any method or system to trade? if yes, the next question is... do you have the method written on paper? final question: are you executing according to the rules of the method? both during sim and trading live? My suggestion: don't answer my questions here. start a new thread with your problem as topic.

if you are serious about trading options, you can check out OptionVue. It is an expensive software, plus monthly subscription fee. but it can analyze option price behavior like a rocket scientist.

read my lips... you have to learn to trade first. how can I help you if you don't want to listen? there are a number of good threads on this forum. start by reading them carefully. don't rush... it takes years to make a good doctor, a capable lawyer, it will also take years to make a good trader. ps. don't tell me how much money you have lost. don't care, none of my business, nothing I can do about it. if losing money hurts your feeling, my advice is to stop trading now and in the future.
