I don't have a screenshot at the moment, can get one later today. In my prorealtime, auto trading does not appear anywhere. I have programmed a trading system, pro back tested, i have the code, but no "auto trading" button in the window. Even in the settings, under trading, I only see Manual trading, not Auto trading like I see in the manual and tutorials. Can someone tell me how to get it? Or why it's not appearing? Im obviously missing something. I seem to have the latest version and all. I just want to start using the trading system I coded. There's just no option for it, surely someone know's what's wrong or has seen this before. ? Thanks in advance! -David Franco

I am a beginner, and I must say, there are a lot of rules to the trading game that one must abide by if they want to be successful. Here, the writer mentions several basic rules for day vs swing trading. However, I find that often times, the reasoning for these rules is not as obvious for a beginner as it may be for an expert. The 'why' factor if I may. For example, why must you have a large capital to trade with as a day trader? Because your positions must be large so that a small change in price will be augmented and turned into a large profit. Also, with such high risk, the margin will be specially high, given the trader is taking up large positions at a time. Without a large amount of capital, positions may be forced to close due to funds being below margin requirements. When this happens, you can expect to lose tons of cash, fast. I learned the hard way.
