On the eurusd thursday afternoon my singular contract was the top for four hours till it reversed and I stopped out. Yesterday on a single WTI contract my pending order for a breakout just below the previous low in WTI executed and held the price up all the way to close. I can't recall how many times my positions have done this. Are you sure about that?

So, to be clear, you truly believe that your one oil contract was the reason the market behaved as it did? Just asking because I thought maybe you were being sarcastic or humorous.

I know thousands of traders that have backtested and it did not work for them. The numbers show it. The market is not a static environment. If you feel otherwise then more power.

I don't think I even know a 1000 people, never mind 1000's, so very impressive that you know that many traders. But even then... you only need to find that back testing worked for one to disprove your statement.

Congratulations that out of the 200K+ contracts traded, your one contract was the one to change the market. Again, very impressive and very fortunate perhaps that the algo's didn't zone into your one contract.

If you don't believe why not try it yourself. Don't just execute and leave the screen. Try it on a live account and watch how the price action reacts.

Do it in a low vol market and quiet times. Don't just spray your execution in the middle of the range do it past the tops and bottoms or during a low vol trend near the close.

Do it in a fast market such as a red US dollar-centric news release on any currency or commodity....Watch what happens.

If you want I can give you the time as sales of the contracts I just spoke about.

Don't go by my word, try it yourself.

Maybe there's a side of you that want's to learn about the subject matter and is scared to face the reality.

I've been watching the bot market for years and have seen all the reviews and long-term results. The reviews are the most revealing. It's neither here nor there all these back-tested strategies don't work live and do not have staying power in the market. They all have parabolic equity curves, but when put into live work they fall flat.

To all the people with genuine curiosity this the reason Demo accounts don't represent live trading. They couldn't be further from reality of trading - everyone seasoned knows this.

You want to believe the fallacy of more buyers and sellers driving the market than that's your prerogative. You'd be able to see it in your own trading unless you just execute without studying the price action. Good luck

I'll do you one better...Where did I say that "we(futures.io) has a pattern of behavior of censorship without fairness"?

But you and your mod are doing a good job of derailing the thread.
