I know yer not 'sposed to trade on zillion witches day, but I did.
The first trade was good, a long. But I just COULDN'T wait for 610 to confirm. So therefore I got stopped out on a pullback. Meanwhile 610 confirms two bb's later...and off we go. I caught the second half of it.
Then I clicked the reverse button...one of my favorite things to do in the whole world!!! It worked. Yee Haa.

SIM is bologna and a complete waste of time...as is more than a little backtesting.
There is no way to simulate the emotion of a real situation in a pretend situation...none. Nor can you create an adequate view of how actual orders would have been handled in a live versus a sim condition.
Trade live money and adjust your size to a level that worst case scenario outcome is worth the education received. If your product does not decrement that way then trade something else that does until you have reasonably mastered your idea or method.
The only way to get better at trading is to trade. If you have access to a legit mentor allow yourself to become a complete and true apprentice. Master do, apprentice watch, master and apprentice do together, apprentice do, master watch.
I firmly put forward that SIM especially unsupervised unmentored SIM does way way more damage than good.
Thanks Wldman and Bluemele. I agree with what you are saying. Didn't see any trades all week...in time to take advantage of them. Today I didn't take sim either. Kind of frustrating when there's mostly chop and lightening fast bars.
