I just signed up to the forum after chatting with technical support who advised me to do so.
I currently have an automated strategy for scalping. It does pretty poorly...
I do not have the source code for the AMT so I have the following questions:
1) What is the best way to copy the strategy in reverse? From Sim account to Live account
2) Do buy and sell orders get filled at exactly the same price in theory? I traded Forex and you had to pay the spread to enter and it made things very challenging for scalping. My understanding is that when trading futures on NT you only pay the commission per lot and therefore whether you buy or sell at any moment in time they would be filled at exactly the same price.
One example for clarification: Say when trading the NQ the price is 8000 and my strategy goes LONG with a $20 target and $100 Stop. The trade ends up getting stopped out for a $100 loss.
With that in mind, in theory - would my opposite strategy going SHORT get filled at 8000 at the same time and end up profiting $100?
I tried searching for something along the lines of this topic before posting but was unable to turn anything up.
Any links or advise regarding this is greatly appreciated.
