I was testing out the trial... And there is one thing that bugs me a little. I placed a bid on the L2 and watched price push the size down to 6 at the price level, then size went back up around a hundred, and it came back and pushed down again to near ten before moving up and away.
In a live environment that order would have filled. Not complaining. Just noting your combine is slightly harder than live trading. Once volatility and range picks up a little in January that handicap will decline.
Have you considered improving your simulator to use simulated fills?
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Is the ninja trader free or fees will be deducted monthly from my account/or do i have to buy from vendor separately.
Suppose i am long at 100, 1 lot . market is at 99.80, i cut my 1 lot at 99.80 and hit 2 lot long again.
would you consider this averaging? or is it acceptable
Commodity- NinjaTrader is currently only available in the Combine and practice. We do not offer it for new recruits (trial). As for the new site, I am sorry you are not happy with it. We are making improvements both on the back-end and front-end daily. I can assure you we are fully invested in making an incredible user experience for our traders at TST. We had to strip many things always and start building with what works and what the trader likes when we relauched. You WILL see improvements continually. That I promise you.
Commodity- Currently EUREX is only available at the funded level for T4 users. We are working toward getting this available to all traders. I will keep you posted if we have any changes.
MedianVelocity- It does not matter. The Combine gives us the ability to find traders that can perform with the style they choose. It also allows you to create or develop your style. The main goal for anyone entering the Combine is to find a style that works. Having accountability in your trading allows you to hone your strategy and put yourself in a position where you are consistent profitable and disciplined with that trading style/strategy. When a trader does this in the Combine they put themselves in a position where they get noticed as they are meeting the rules (the Combine rules or their own custom rules) and profit target. Those that get noticed by meeting the objective get called up to trade at the funded level.
Basically, we have recuits that use the Combine for many things besides getting funded. Creating, testing, and tweaking their strategies is very popular. These traders are learning and growing as you learn the most in trading by DOING.
do you have a volume/profit based criteria for senior traders for commissions.
the 2.50 $ per side commission is significantly more than what i was being charged by my previous fcm.
maybe you dont have high volume traders. but shouldnt you lower commissions as volumes go up
( they are also higher for low volume traders compared to other fcm's)
Also can i trade Brent- wti spread at topsteptrader, after getting funded? (viz energy spreads)
MedianVelocity- This does not push a trader towards scalping. It is a rule we have for Junior Trader (newly funded traders) to help them build their account brick by brick. The goal of trading is to build your account. This rule lets the trader know to shut it down. Keep the profits they have built for the day and live to fight/trade another day. We want our traders focusing on keeping the money in your pocket. Once you have graduated past the Junior level these (Junior) rules are removed.
nemeis45- I was just informed you emailed [email protected] with these questions. I hope they were able to help you. Feel free to post their reply if you would like.
MedianVelocity- I like thorough analysis and I appreciate what you have noticed. We probably won't change this. We believe that if it is a tad harder at the Combine level this makes for better traders at the funded level. I would rather this be the case then the opposite. Trading at the funded level is difficult no matter where you go or if you fund yourself. Practice harder than you play is a motto in a lot of sports and professional fields. We believe the same.
nemeis45- As a funded trader at the Senior level you are able to negotiate many many things. Seniors are proven talent and proven talent has negotiating powers. I hope that answers your question.
