I've been reading jperls Market Profile and trading with the VWAP bands using Tradstation for several months now with good results.

Paper trading is what I am using to find out what platform to use and how to use it properly. That is how to hit the correct buy or sell button

I made a few mental errors and hit the sell side when I wanted to buy. Glad it was only paper money

Right now I am using Ninja Trader and it seems very robust, at least for me

Hello Bud,

 

I used to live in New Orleans until about 2001, working at Tulane. I love the city and wish I could find a reason to go back.

 

How is life post-Katrina?

Is anyone from South korea out there?

...the one thing I have found is that paper trading whilst good for testing strategy, is useless for finding out if you can make a profit. Thomas66

 

What you and others, more qualified, say is quite right but many of us need to practice the basics. The real basics: fill in the 'new order' sheet quickly and accuratly.

 

'Babypips' advises one to use a demo for at least 6 months before going live.

 

Glad to hear that it is working well for you though.

:doh:

 

Was that 2 full days of papertrading or half days?

 

Word to the wise - takes a little longer than 2 days to master any trading platform, let alone even begin to make money.

 

You hit the nail on the head Brownsfan019. The sad part is he knows better, he trades equity options successfully so I believe he got caught up in his success in that market.

 

Kinda like a baseball team in first place playing the last place team and loosing to them. They figured they were better than the last place team so they didnt really have to try.

PB, Life in the Big Easy is good. People are still rebuilding and moving back to their neighborhoods. The music, the food and the spirit of New Orleans are alive and well.

[Minis Trader 10]

If you have a market that works for you GREAT! If you are looking for another market to add to your toolbelt Take a look at the YM & ES. These are some of my favorites to trade.

I havent been there since pre Katrina. I do have some friends there and they are happy with the effort to bring it back.

 

BTW, I love the food there!

[sharky2372 10]

If something is too fast, increase your timeframe. ES is trading on the GLOBEX (CME Group).

[sharky2372 10]

i only trade on ticks not times but i will try adjusting my tick to a different number thans for your input.

[brevco 10]

Hello,

 

I used to live in Baton Rouge and moved to Colorado in 1991. Still have family there, but really like it here where there is less or no humidity. I was in BR for 17 years.

 

I trade futures and use Amibroker as my charting platform with live data. I'm looking forward to learning more at this forum and making a contribution.

You could also look at the 377 or 610 tick.

Hi Kopke,

 

For my trading activities I am using EOD prices only, no intraday data, with the OwnData application from Tradestation you can get nearly any data source into Tradestation. For my own trading activities Tradestation is perfect, but their latest software, Multicharts, looks attractive, too. If Tradestation will suit you depends on what kind of trader you are and what kind of trading activities you conduct.

Well, I'm glad to hear that Bud. NOLA is like no other place on earth that I have seen and she has a special place in my heart.

 

Good luck with your trades (not that we need luck, right?).
