You just trade very little, apparently. That's why you don't care about trading conditions. And for practitioners it's a priority.
 
Maxim Dmitrievsky:

Ah, well now I see that I'm communicating with a totally ignorant in trading, byebye :) The cure and sobering for you will be the constant losses, which are half caused by the trading conditions.


a professional trader? well, well...

Not pulling half a pips out of the market, trading conditions don't matter much, much less a miserable 1-2 pips

drumming with frequent fractions is your practice.

Not yanking half a pips out of the market, trading conditions don't play much of a role, much less the unfortunate 1-2 pips


Ptz... calculate your spread and commission for 100 trades. (If you have not traded for $100 it is very significant. And it's just about scalping in this thread.

 
Maxim Dmitrievsky:

Ppc... calculate your costs for spread and commission per 100 trades. (If you're not trading on $100, then it's very tangible. And we are talking about scalping in this exact topic.


The important thing is the profit/cost ratio, not just the absolute value of the costs. If the profit is many times the cost, that's OK.

Doesn'ta professional trader understand that?

And if most of the profit goes to cover the costs, then what kind of professionalism are we talking about?

This quibble is about nothing. What matters is cost minimisation, any cost. Just write a script for the bot to take into account slippages and spread/commission costs and wonder how much you lost because of such illiteracy, add it to your losses and then powder your head with ashes. Even minimising the ping from 200ms to 10ms will give you a slippage reduction comparable to the spread per trade.

You're just showing a blatant illiteracy in trading.

2p extra cost per 100 trades equals 200 points of missed profit, and the latent slippage cost is usually more per round... you just didn't know that, did you? And add 10 quid commission.

This tweak is about nothing. Minimising costs is important, any cost.

Even minimising the ping from 200ms to 10ms will give you a slippage reduction comparable to the spread per trade.

You are just showing a blatant illiteracy in trading.

2p extra cost per 100 trades is already 200 points of lost profit


As I recall, your "blatant trading illiteracy" should be defined by a 52/48 ratio.

That's not what you're thinking about... "lost profits" -- ridiculous

It's not what you think, I'm writing strictly on topic. You may laugh if it's funny, but it will not do you any good. You can just give all your money to DC and he will gladly take it.
