It's too bad there aren't smaller crude oil lots like with spot Forex (ie $0.10/tick, $1/tick)...I would think that starting out that small would make the transition from SIM to live easier...

Well, I feel like a failure but oh well. Gotta keep working at it. I'll be going back to SIM now to see if I can fix a few problems I ran into. During these past 3 days of live trading I saw some issues that still need work.

Sorry to see your losses, but hang in there Dinero. Can you backtest with sim for those loss days and see if the entries/exit were same ? May be some emotional element caught you while being live.

USO trades almost 1:1 relative to CL and 1 CL = 2000 USO.

 

Could you post a chart or two with your entries and exits?

I know nobody wants my opinion, but here goes.

 

SIM trading cannot duplicate the emotions that arise from within when real money is on the line. With SIM trades I can set a target of $1 and watch it get 80¢ and retrace back down to 20¢ before hitting my target of 100¢. Now for real life - no way I'm watching 60¢ of profits disappear. Its just not the same.

 

If we had a SIM contest I'm certain I can trade circles around just about anybody. But in the real world I am just a below average trader who barely eeks out a profit. But I take my lumps with real money because I sincerely believe that is the cost of tuition for this profession. I will never learn how to control my emotions SIM trading - I will only get that feeling when the rent money is on the line!

 

Growing up I was the Monopoly king in my family. I would always have houses hotels everywhere and the fam would always say your going to be a landlord one day. Well that day came and I can tell you while the concept is there Monopoly does nothing to prepare you for collecting rent from real people struggling to get by. There is no book you can read that can explain the mixed feelings you have evicting a single mom with young kids. The only way to know how it feels is to go to court and experience it.

 

I'm not saying that SIM trading doesn't have its merits - all I'm saying is that SIM trading will not allow you to experience the anxiety of risking your hard earned money. There is nothing that can mimic the experience of losing.

 

just my 2¢'s worth.

 

Side note: I mainly trade CL because the volatility usually provides many opportunities daily. But after a losing streak I switch over to 6B because it has similar volatility but with a lower risk/tick ($6.25/tick). Once I get my confidence back with 6B - I earn the right to trade CL again. I've tried to do the same with QM but 6B seems to work better for me. Maybe others might consider trading something (YM?) with less risk until you feel confident to trade CL.

 

Just food for thought.

I completely agree with your assessment. I lost my fair share of real money when I started. The whole time I could successfully trade on sim. I remember when I felt that I had come into my own as a trader, my account was around 5k and I was down $1,500 on the day but the last trade was executed perfectly and it had all the pressure of making my account go down to 3k from 5k in one day. I do not remember what the last trade made (not that much) but I told my dad that I was now at ease with my trading and had confidence in my entries/exits and losses from that point on I was fine with if I had stayed within my plan/rules. :2c:

 

I know this last part will not be a popular statement and I am not at all saying this pertains to anyone here because everyone who posts has solid reasons to take a trade but I have wondered if sim exists to lure people into trading fake money so when they start with real cash thinking they were born with a gift they will no doubt over trade (making broker $) and lose. :2c:

I don't think so Bathrobe. Far more people come off the sim too fast (or never go on) and chew away their money. Lots of people don't sim at all (too boring, what's the point, etc etc).

 

To me, the purposes of a sim are:

- to prove that what you see in hindsight is still there in real time

- to forward test a backtest

- to learn some elements of what is needed to trade your plan.

 

It doesn't have to duplicate real emotions, test yourself under monetary pressure etc etc to be a useful tool.

 

I trade real money but I still sim things before I run them with cash. So currently I'm trading indexes (well, I've stopped for Easter) but I'm sim trading longer term Forex. Because the forex trades are infrequent, depending on the number of unexpected results the forex will go live in anywhere from two weeks to two months.

These are some great posts. Good candid discussion about the transition from SIM to real money is so valuable. The journey of the transition will be different for everyone but there will always be similarities. My goal is to take more and more of the split second analysis from my trades so that the emotional/nerves factor won't be able to screw with my entry decisions so much. The emotions certainly weren't my main problem but it was a problem. I'll get this figured out soon and be back to get my money back. I think Brownsfan or Bathrobe took it by the way.

had 3 great setups, none went to targets at +11, all stopped and reversed around 8-9 ticks in favor... guess thats just how it falls sometimes. took a couple ticks here and there to cover commissions on the pars.

I keep thinking about this statement you made. Interesting on several levels. What do you think it is that causes such a huge difference between the your SIM and live money. Is it the money? If so, couldn't you post you entries/exits for someone else to trade so you have nothing at risk except ego.

 

Cory posted something interesting saying that once he realized that he would be posting his SIM results (accountability), that was enough to throw off his game, money was no factor.

 

I saw a big difference in my own trading when I went from secret SIM to posted on the forum SIM. It made trading much harder. It seems possible to me there is an "ego" and a money issue that seperately affect one's trading.

 

If anyone wants to step up their SIM trading to something more challenging, simply start posting your daily blotter results here. No money at risk still, but you'll find many new emotional challenges. You have to decide when to stop trading, admit a losing day, everyday and every trade counts. Post the number of trades you made also. SIM normally doesn't account for commissions so $100 profit in one day is very different for a trader who made that in 3 trades and one who made that amount in 50 trades.

 

Just a few thoughts.

An example occured at approximately 10:45 this morning in CL. I have noted some a.m. resistance at 8510 and R2 at 8491. My VWAP/2nd SD is at 8514 so I make note to self - A shooting star into 8515 would set up a perfect short. If I was SIM trading I would set a sell stop at 8515 with a 10¢ stop and wait for the fun! But with real money I only enter with limits... so I have to sit on pins and needles. And what do you know... we get a shooting star at 8515 (goes to 8523). I should be short, but I'm not - the DOM is moving too fast for me and I get short 8494 - the problem with this entry for me is I know my SL should be above the shooting star - but thats 30¢ away now and way out of my risk parameters. Next price retraces about 15¢ and takes me out with a loss of 10¢. Now I'm pissed cuz I know that price is going back to the VWAP at 8470. But it chops around on the way down and I make several stupid mistakes to max out my daily loss on what should have been 1 simple trade.

 

For me its a big difference. Maybe I should just try trading with stops instead of limit orders.

 

I don't know but I'm figuring it out.

 

PS - I know what happened after the first loss has nothing to do with SIM vs REAL trading - that has 100% to do with discipline.

Went in too early (common theme for me - need to learn from that and remind myself daily) on the initial short of the day. Got shook out - and it proceeded to close the gap. (This is second large move I have missed due to poor entry in the past week.)

 

Managed to claw back and get green with some smaller fib moves and quick profit takes.

 

Expected bottom at close of gap on YM didnt materialize - and went deep in between my zones - so no play on the upside late this afternoon. Adleast I didnt chase (though that would have been profitable today :haha:)

 

Grade for the Day: D+ on entries. C+ on exits. B+ on building the right side of the chart.

(common theme for me - need to learn from that and remind myself daily)

 

I instituted a rule for myself last week that I cannot begin to trade unless I have re-read my trading plan which includes a list of my common mistakes. I have found it is easy for me to learn something from making a mistake in trading one day and keep making that mistake if I don't give myself reminders of it. I used to say, well I won't do that again, and find myself doing it again. Just a thought. Glad to see you posting here.

Only one trade today, no trades yesterday.

 

I trade SIM the same as live trading. I record it in my journal and keep statistics like live trading. If you fool yourself on SIM trading thinking 'I would not have made that mistake if I was trading live" or some other excuse, then you are just fooling yourself. SIM trading is about gaining confidence in your execution so you can trade the same way live. If you lie to yourself I don't think you will ever get that confidence.

Today I traded my brothers 3k account, we are putting more money in soon. Probably next week. I went into the day looking for a short around 75.75, or 74 due to my pre-open homework. I was reading about Jimmy Hoffa on Wikipedia (seriously, I was:crap:) unfortunately when 75.75 was in play the first time, it never traded through the second time and I got in late at 75 with 2 contracts. I scaled one at 74, and the balance at 67.75. I attached a chart, I think it would be nice if we all start attaching charts showing what we were seeing when we entered.

 

I no longer use only limit orders like I did last year. I missed too many trades and often price would touch my price and move away quite a bit. Now, when shorting I sell the bid and when buying buy the ask, I also take as many trades as I find appealing each day, rather than waiting and loading up like last year. Hope it helps.

 

Chris

1 trade 1 winner. Textbook entry and exit as per my rule set. I'm not knocking it out of the park like you all or taking 30 trades a day but i'm seeing results. A couple weeks back I revamped my trade plan significantly and the difference (coupled with 110% compliance with my rules at ALL TIMES) has transformed my results.

 

Again, not hitting it out of the park like you all, but I can take being a brick layer as long as its a profitable brick i'm laying. Soon i'll be a brick layer with some size. :)

 

Cheers!

I just wanted to comment on the part of this quote that I highlighted in red...when trading with a forex bucket shop (as I am), this isn't the case. The bucket shops have "no commissions"...they make their commission on the spread (and of course the positions they have against you when you lose). So, the forex bucket shop SIM accounts do include commissions.

 

----------

 

On another note, I'm still planning to begin posting here next week (week beginning 4/11). I figure I might as well go for it...it may throw me off and I may lose, but I have to just do it if I ever hope to overcome it. As far as I'm concerned, I've pretty much "mastered" private SIM trading over the last couple weeks, so it's time to move to the next step (SIM trading "publicly"). Although obviously I will continue to learn/tweak, I've in essence mastered the technique of the approach I'm trading (essentially my own version of the approach thalestrader advocates on his thread...a focus on highs, lows, trend, consolidation, support, resistance). Now it's time to master the psychological effects of pressure/risk...

 

I'm currently re-reading Mark Douglas's Trading in the Zone, and I have his other book, The Disciplined Trader, coming in the mail. Trading in the Zone addresses the EXACT issues I've been dealing with as of late, and I'm really enjoying it.

 

I should mention, I'm now trading solely the EUR/USD during the 6E regular trading hours (8:20AM - 3:00PM Eastern Time)...

 

There's been a lot of talk about transitions in the P/L Thread this week which had me thinking about myself...once I have the size, I'd like someday to transition to currency futures. That being the case, I'd like that transition to be as smooth as possible...daytrading the EUR/JPY, including during the Tokyo session, does not make that transition as smooth as possible (EUR/JPY doesn't have tradable liquidity in futures and during the Tokyo session, volume in futures is considerably lower...and the spreads are wider).

 

So, I'm going to go back to trading solely the EUR/USD, daytrading only during the 6E regular trading hours (8:20 AM - 3:00 PM Eastern Time). While trading until 3pm, in reality I'm watching for the inevitable die off of price anytime after 12...I just play it by ear each day.

 

I already began trading solely the EUR/USD the last couple days...and I already trade during RTH (I just trade Tokyo, too)...it really hasn't had any impact on my trading, so no big deal (although I think I do like the EUR/JPY a little better...it seems to trend better...or at least it seems to stretch its legs more when it does trend...)

Starting tomorrow i will be posting my Pnl. I have a basic idea of my strategy - entry, stop, exit (sort of). I'll just be sim trading support and resistance. My ego is a HUGE hurdle for me to get over, so win or lose, my Pnl will be posted after every day that i took a trade. I`ll be trading the 6E mainly and i might be watching the NQ and the 6B as well, but this could change if it becomes too much to look at. I`ll be watching/trading the markets from 9 am to 4 pm every single day. School is now over for me, so i have a lot of spare time. Most of my days will be negative so don't expect to see anything else as i test, observe, record and correct. This is the beginning for me.

From here on out I am posting smaller account results only. I sold 2 on the open ( from my pov perfect setup) and exited at support. I missed a long signal right after my exit, which was a pre-market trade I was looking for, and later lost 1 point, the I read the pa correctly so I am fine with the trade. By the way, the opening trade was not a "gap fill" type trade, after looking into this it is not something I would trade.

 

On the day I made a modest 1.25 points

April/5/2010 : Sim trading results..

 

I had many problems with my system (not mine, but my broker's simulated trading just hung and didn't execute market orders). IB's simulated trading time and again has such issues. I meddled with it manually while the auto was running, so it was messy in the books. But I am going to post what the auto could have/should have done based on my entry logs for some of the positions (little bit of cheating, still I am happy with my entries). Basically I entered long reversal with TF emini while my shorts got stopped out.

LONG: 520

SHORT: -226

    • Date: 1st April 2025.   Will Gold’s Rally Hold Strong as New Trade Tariffs Take Effect Tomorrow?   Gold continues to increase in value for a sixth consecutive day and is trading more than 17% higher in 2025. Amid fear of higher inflation, a recession and the tariffs war escalating investors continue to invest into Gold pushing demand higher. The trade policy from April 2nd onwards continues to be a key factor for the whole market. Can Gold maintain its upward trend? Trade Policy From Tomorrow Onwards Starting as soon as tomorrow, a 25% tariff will be imposed on all passenger cars imported into the United States. While this White House policy is anticipated to negatively affect European industrial performance, it will also lead to higher transportation and maintenance costs for everyday American taxpayers. The negative impact expected on both the EU and US is one of the reasons investors continue to buy Gold. Additionally, last month, President Donald Trump announced reciprocal sanctions against any trade partners that impose import restrictions on US goods. Furthermore, tariffs on products from Canada and the EU could increase even more if they attempt to coordinate a response. Overall, investors continue to worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures, particularly from China, the Eurozone, and Japan. Any retaliation is likely to escalate the trade conflict and prompt another reaction from the US. Experts at Goldman Sachs and other investment banks warn that this will lead to rising inflation and unemployment. They also caution that it could effectively halt economic growth in the US.   XAUUSD 1-Hour Chart   The Weakness In The US Dollar Another factor which is allowing the price of XAUUSD to increase in value is the US Dollar which has been unable to maintain any bullish momentum. Despite last week’s Core PCE Price Index rising to its highest level since February 2024, the US Dollar has been unable to see any significant rise in value. Due to the US Dollar and Gold's inverse correlation, the price of Gold is benefiting from the Dollar weakness. Investors worry that new trade barriers will prompt retaliatory measures from China, the Eurozone, and Japan, potentially escalating the conflict. Experts at The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. believe that such actions by the US administration will drive rising inflation and unemployment while effectively halting economic growth in the country. Can Gold Maintain Momentum? When it comes to technical analysis, the price of Gold is not trading at a price where oscillators are indicating the instrument is overbought. The Relative Strength Index currently trades at 68.88, outside of the overbought area, since Gold’s price fell 0.65% during this morning’s session. However, even with this decline, the price still remains 0.40% higher than the day’s open price. In terms of fundamental analysis, there continues to be plenty of factors indicating the price could continue to rise. However, the price movement of the week will also partially depend on the employment data from the US. The US is due to release the JOLTS Job Vacancies for February this afternoon, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change tomorrow, and the NFP Change and Unemployment Rate on Friday. If all data reads higher than expectations, investors may look to sell to lock in profits at the high price. Key Takeaway Points: Gold’s Rally Continues – Up 17% in 2025 as investors seek safety from inflation, recession fears, and trade tensions. Trade War Impact – New US tariffs and potential retaliation from China, the EU, and Japan drive uncertainty, boosting Gold demand. Weak US Dollar – The Dollar’s struggle supports Gold’s rise due to their inverse correlation. Gold’s Outlook – Uptrend may continue, but US jobs data could trigger profit-taking.

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform.
