    Common Traits of a Good Trader

    A good trader will always work according to the trading plan and would stay away from overtrading in the market. I feel a good and successful trader is the one who learns from losses and then recovers them with good profits.

    Short Oil? I'm buying SCO

    Well, that’s great that you are taking the risk. But, if you ask me, I am afraid of highly leveraged ETFs and don’t recommend these to others as well.

    Why is Gold down with inflation at 5%?

    That came as a surprise to me. Till the time this situation persists, I will wait until Gold gets back to the position that it was at.

    Platforms for creating Options BOTS?

    Like you have said many brokerages offer API and VPS servers to upload bots and algorithms for trading. If your requirements are custom then try with individual bot platforms available on the internet. In my experience many platforms have python compatibility too.

    When a model becomes extinct

    How do i know, which broker is the best?

    Consider things like the broker’s trading platforms, regulations, commissions, and spreads in the beginning. Like it’s important to use a low spreads broker like fxview or pepperstone to save up on the trading cost.

    Options noob, but why does IB want nearly 3700$ for a 25$ option ??

    The best way to get some answers here is to directly contact your broker and ask them why they are so keen on this. You can reach out to their customer service easily.
