Where to Go? Manual or Automatic Platforms?

Recommended Posts

Hey everybody,

 

I'm new to this and I guess i'm the definition of this forum section: wnat to star trading and don't know how to start".

 

I see a lot of automatic platfom advertising, Zulu, Eltoro, Ninja, Tradecopier...

What you guys think of those? Is that a way to go for a newbie?

 

Thanks a lot

I would start with a discretionary trading platform, mainly because if you dont understand how or why this element of it works, then understanding how or why an automated system works might be a lot more difficult.

Then use automation to replicate a successful discretionary strategy. :2c:

Not sure if the OP is referring to purchasing or leasing a platform, but you do have a point Siuya. I think sierra chart is still one of the cheapest paid charting platforms where you can get free historical data. Judging by the username of OP, then they will probably be dealing with Metatrader 4/5, which is free to the end user anyway.

 

Honestly, i don't know how in this day and age how a charting platform would not come with some kind of programming language and be competitive. Too many "free" platforms or low cost platforms already do "charting-only" well.

 

Additionally, there is a tool called ForexTester which would allow you to practice over the weekend with replay (best to have tick historical data). I think openEcry has something similar, but you can only go back 1-3 weeks. Better than nothing :)

 

Thanks guys, that makes sense!

And what about signal providers and EA, can we trust on the "top 100 charts" we can find in those sites (etoro, tradecopier, whatever)?

 

Thanks

 

It's up to you to evaluate and make decisions.

Thanks.

I know that is up to me, I was just asking the terms to make a decision, ways of better evaluating experts. For instance, not following traders with less than six month trading seems smart, won't you think?

 

Anyway, I'm trying tradecopier demo and doing so-so for the time being...

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
