No matter what strategy you choose, it'll always end up in the 40-60% success rate long term. Unless you're scalping, but there's no real edge in that. Success comes from risk management, not some strategy or Mark Douglas psychology sheeple.

It depends on the margin as well. NinjaTrader's account minimum is $1K. But a contract like crude oil is $1K, which leaves you with no room. $2K account could be pushing it even on $500 margin products like /ES.

Lol, better diversify your futures investments! That 20 year plan in Futures dawg. You shouldn't be paying more than $5 round trip for a futures trade. I can make more than that in 1 tick in 99% of the Futures instruments. Do you have any clue what you are talking about here? You copy and...

If you believe in the Illuminati and "the market is rigged!" and "the pro's are out to get me!" then you aren't in the right state of mind to be a trader.

By now, I seriously can't tell if you are one well programmed troll bot or some stupid kid. "Nothing is ever free." Apparently ****posting is.

I daily drive a 1981 Datsun 280zx. Was the first car I ever owned (with my own money). I also own a 2008 Ram 1500 I tow my boat with and whenever I need trips to the hardware store.

I'd recommend the margin should be no more than 10% of your account. So if you are wanting to trade /ES in 1 lots and the margin is $500, then you should have at least $5,000 in your account. Of course this applies to day trading. If you are a swing trader and plan to hold over the 5:15-6:00...

Deferring to grammar and then talking about generalizations. You'd fit in well on 4chan. I think they have a business and Finance board. They'd love you.

Yeah IB is a great broker. Didn't know Trader Workstation offered automated trading though. Thought you had to buy a NT licence to auto trade with them? And NT does allow stocks on their software, but yeah the broker is Futures or FX. If you're looking to trade stocks or ETFs, then yeah I...

He said above "Additionally, futures are regulated separately." yet in another thread he was saying the complete opposite, thinking the FINRA has regulation over Futures. Didn't know kids trolled trading forums.

So basically hhiusa's attitude is if you aren't rich and American, you aren't a successful trader.

Oh I'm American. I'm just not proud of the level of stupidity our people withhold. Like how you are completely ignoring the fact that you are wrong and jump into an argument over grammar. Are you a 15 year old girl on Facebook? Get over yourself, and just move along. Americans hate being wrong.

The most popular platforms that offer automated strategies that I know of are MetaTrader, TradeStation, and NinjaTrader. NinjaTrader has a 3rd party program called Bloodhound by SharkIndicators that makes strategy building very simple with a nice GUI interface, sort of like mind mapping. They...

He probably watched a 15 minute Webinar by some "guru" saying all markets are random, and he took it to the heart. Americans are gullible like that. We love our media.
