if you hadn't realized already everything on planet earth is temporal including us. Now there is something or someone who's eternal and if you connect with him he will fix your temporal status
Absolutely.

Hope you all have a good day.

Shall we see some recurring trading results like hilmy is putting here. I am running super low on self-motivation these past few days with Sierra being the nasty bitch again. Fix one issue creates 10 other pile of shits for me.... The mofo geniuses at Sierra could not think of a better way to assign logical names to their studies. Every freaking formula looks like this... just stupid numbers with no way to comment them in the code or use named reference. =OR(AND(C[-2]>ID24.SG1,...
you went live manual?

i say do it man...

do a straddle at 830 cst. you'd get quick ticks..and it's not going to be ranging in the first 30 minutes at least.

My entire design is based (or driven from?) what happens in first 3 mins or candles at market open (or start of any OC). The fucking sierra studies is having some internal conflict with my brute force logic and keeping opening and closing trades within seconds and I am unable to figure out which study is closing my trades. I am pissed beyond my mind dude. Straggle can get you in trouble I think with wash trade regulation hence trying the auto route to ensure there is no fat finger involved. but regardless, I am goinf bald troubleshooting this rock solid design (atleast in theory). Another thing pissing me off is the inconsistency with results within Sierra market replay. The speed of replay changes my trade volume and outcome which is just beyond retard. Support told be it should not matter and here I am with living proof that results are indeed inconsistent and dependent on the speed of accurate backtest replay. it is also taking me about 4 hours to backtest just one month of data... which is rediculously insane. I bought a brand new super fact laptop with the latest configuration and the SPEED is still motherfucking slow compared to my old laptop. I am just at wits with Sierra past couple of weeks man. I am hating this shit every minute! The CPU or Memory or Disk IO is all under 10-15% when I run my backtests so no freaking idea why it takes so long!!!!

Also, I have decided to go the IRA route. Account Consolidation has begun so dealing with interactive brokers this week. The goal (as long as I am employed) is account growth and diversify profits into gold and real estate with the tax free structure. I might even withdraw and pay penalty if I am net whole at the end of year. That way I just don't have to deal with taxation etc. When I quit, same thing I will do with 401K as well. I think 10 contract / 100K can generate some decent long term growth if the current volatility and 300+ range continues. Still not happy with my risk profile yet. I am risking too much to make more. Need to cut that down further but with IRA, it will allow me to hold intra-day losses and I am okay with that as long as I can turn profit 80% of the time by close of business. I also wired $2K last night to give a serious attempt to Harold's pullback strategy. not sure if I will trade but I dont want to get rusty with not trading :-(

Interesting info on trading futures via IRA account.... https://www.midlandira.com/futures-forex/

The fucking sierra studies...
Don't know if this would be of interest (not wishing you to go off down the rabbit hole). But it's what my business partner would use if he were programming such a thing:

You can just let people who program for a living to do the grunt work for you.

I think he's saying that he can smell bullshit.

J white was in sim in this video clip. Lets see if we can perhaps identify traits in his opponent.

Dunno, maybe he just wanted to share.

All you sim traders on here (including myself) ain't worth a squirt of piss.

Go live, or go home. Hit that like button guys, you know you want to.

that video showed up in my youtube page and I find it related to trading.

i had a strategy launched recently that did not perform as good as its backtest.

you should always forward test with small capital first.

backtesting is where ideas start and to see if their viable.In the futures market you can run simulation and it shows exactly what happened in realtime. Almost everyone here is a live TRADER backtesting is in rearview mirror
