CFD Costs are killing me.. is it better with real futures contracts?
-
i cant seem to algotrade on any of the MES or ES or any other instrument i try? What am i doing wrong here? Something wrong with my account or whats the deal..
Okay i was approved for PRT to trade futures but not in IBKR, i am now approved but still same error pops up but im guessing its going to take a day or smthn before the data has been updated with prorealtime.. lets see if im able to do hit “start trading” tomorrow haha…
i have now optimized my algo for futuresmarked, had to readjust some of my variables, i dont like doing it because the “OG” code has been running for many years now on CFD, but ive changed the variables just slightly and its now looking pretty decent for futures marked also
Thats the Before (light blue) and after (dark blue)
Fingers crossed i havnt completly overfit and facked myself going forward ……
