And some update on the recent saga on whether Harold is using SIM or live. Can't say one way or another but here's what clunky Sierra does when you have more than one sub-accounts with the broker.

If you are running Sierra in two instance mode, The PRIMARY instance is the master instance and controls the data connectivity with CQG or whichever service you use. The connectivity logs etc is all jumbled up between the two instances. The Primary HAS to be connected to Live in order for 2nd instance to trade live. It will NOT allow you to trade in SIM in one instance and Live in another which is retard. So, if primary is connected to live and 2nd is connected to sim, the log will show attempts to connect to SIM server as well as Live server.
If only one instance is running then there should not be any attempts to connect to SIM in the background... atleast not that I have experienced BUT this is Sierra Charts so my experience using this tool tells me, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. It's clunky at best.

EDIT: I finally got my fucking 13T for the day. NQ sucks!!!! Trading Sucks!!! Forum Sucks!!! With that said, I still love you all :-)

EDIT1: And just to say it, any popup message between the two running instances of Sierra does NOT tell which instance the message is being generated from. I am not defending Harold... just stating my observations from my own fact-findings.

actually full disclosure. my plan was to run my automation in demo and then manually trade the signals in live. That is why I found this out today. Love and hate with Sierra will continue for a long time I guess.

Even on the one minute you can collect a few eggs

Edit: That last big bar was a short that looks like it's going to be stopped out for a loss around 7300 ( IG UK chart).

would you still trade if you found out that NOBODY is making money here?

it's a question for anybody here. Do you require proof of live trading to continue in your pursuit of profit?

at one point should one give up?

YES. I WILL give up trading and move on if I am repeatedly unsuccessful and no one is willing to share their trading stats as evidence that success is POSSIBLE with 10-15T SL or whatever their strategy might be. that is just me and my experience telling me not to suck into an endeavor or a strategy that offers no proven merit to replace my income. It's all good for pocket change and coffee money to kill our loneliness but to generate decent consistent income from trading is damn hard!

I made my usual but i don't post about it since i don't have the time to markup charts. Seems a little self serving to just say i made x ticks without a chart showing where or why.

dude... there is literally no need to explain anything. Just a chart with actual FILLS serves the purpose and yet no one is willing to show fills. I just don't get it. Charts with lines are well... I will stop saying something that would offend anyone here.

Like this.... just use the Snipping tool that comes with any windows machine and then Control-V into the post as you type it here... there is no need to even do an upload... 10 seconds per screenshoot is all it takes !

EDIT: And there is nothing hidden on the left side... so it IS live account. if you have multiple sub-accounts, the account number shows up on the left hand side. If you are trading SIM, the "SIM" tag shows up by default always.

Is this your way of saying don't post about making ticks unless you post executions? Is this a round about way of saying prove yourself?

Lets just say i put that up. Whats next?

I would still trade. If the persons approach to trading appealed to you then you would eventually try it yourself but since you are not a clone of the person mentioned, it would be your approach alone. Since no one ( to my knowledge) is selling anything here then proof is not necessary since it is up to you to experiment and eventually demo trade before going live ( saves a broken heart and empty wallet). This thread, and some others, are "discussion" threads,: not a free hand out to riches for the idle, stupid or simply ignorant. It matters not what success a person claims - it is down to the reader to put in the work to achieve any success.Maybe take a bit from this or that thread and create a system that suits you. And keep a diary.
I am also aware that my approach could be simplified further by dumping some lines and concentrating more on hh's and hl's and levels/consolidations etc but I will research that separately - not an original idea but a collection of observations from this and other threads. The point is I work at "it" and prove the veracity of such trading to my self by observation rather than relying on statements from others.

There is no roundabouts I take in my life. I just say the way it is bro. Posting charts with lines and ++T means nothing to those following a strategy religiously. I WAS one of those followers not for months but years so I have concrete experience in this space. Trade Fills offer legitimacy to support claim of successful trade otherwise it is just another post among the ocean of uselessness found on forums.
