You are a funny Forker. The internet is optional. If you get bored, you can switch if off.
There are a host of advantages to trading micro size instead of SIM. Forgive me for not listing them all in post 1.
Let's get this right:
SIM trading is better in your opinion that trading for a total risk of $1 per trade?
There is absolutely no amount of money a new trader should trade instead of SIM trading? Is 10c per week too much to risk?
It appears also that you think someone should start SIM trading before they have any clue at all about where/when to exit?
In my opinion - the process should be like this:
1 - Figure out how you want to approach the market. (months at least)
2 - Get yourself confident with a platform by SIMing. (1-2 days)
3 - Trade your system with small size for an appropriate period (20 days for day trading minumum)
4 - Review at the end of 20 days
5 - Adjust (if necessary) and repeat.
Either way you do this - the moment you go from SIM->Live you WILL lose money.
With your approach - you will build up a load of false confidence in terms of fills and how you personally react to being in a trade. You are more likely to go in size when you leave SIM. Your chance of a blow up is much higher because you have confidence but no proven ability.
With my approach - you won't blow up. You may lose a couple of $200 in a few weeks/months and lick your wounds and have a re-think. Overall - that experience will be much better than a year of SIM trading.
Sorry if this was a bit boring for you.
The fact that you did it my way, claim to be profitable but are claiming another way is better is somewhat ironic in my opinion.
