Any exam prep material recommendations for the Series 3, Series 34, Series 63 and Series 65 exams (one for each)? Lets throw in the Series 7 to the bag, even though that's a different animal. I know of Kaplan and others. Not looking for just names. I would like to hear from people who took any...

As clarified, it was a parody in response to another thread. I trade managed accounts. Size reduced with increased volatility. No pyramiding. I will thus never achieve dreamlike returns. Which is fine. Though a highly levered 3k punt do or die could be fun to do and write about. Hey, maybe the...

Trading = Gambling. Try to disassociate gambling from its stigma. It does injustice towards professional gamblers. There is average gambling (for fun, addiction, stupidity, etc) and responsible gambling, with favourable odds and appropriate sizing.

Nice post. But it should not be a dreamers game; herein lies a fundamental problem. Most people who devote a lot of time to playing basketball are happy with improving and staying competitive ... no dreaming of replicating Curry (or Messi if talking football). The sports industry does not...

I saw this other thread titled "$10k to $100k in one year challenge " and found both the idea and the poster's attitude (condensed into the statement "please provide feedback and critique but if it is not encouraging it means you are a loser and take your feedback somewhere else) so incredibly...

For those who did not get it, this is a parody thread (seems like almost no one did). Though the idea of shorting VXX in the way laid out on the initial post is very good - it be would be extremely profitable until one day it would likely blow off.

A good intermarkets system would use fuzzy logic for scaling in and out to account for changing correlations, and have a lead-lag component to determine which leg to spread against. I Why SPX-DAX? I'd rather do SPX-QQQ than SPX-DAX, think higher odds of a fundamental disconnect between...

This is a great response. I do think trading ZB-UTY divergences is nonetheless a horrid idea. But I'm not and won't be your client, so who cares. Indeed selling systems and newsletters and anything makes a lot of sense, even for traders - it generates cash flows uncorrelated with trading...

Because traveling the world and/or selling newsletters is proof of trading success. Proof attached!

As soon as I crack a certain adobe program! Acrobat of course! I need to setup a Python script to automate the process ;) Otherwise you will have to just take me for my word, as if I were a guru. I bet I'll be one if I succeed. So if I fail I loss 3k, if I succeed I become a millionaire and...

Please provide feedback and critique !!! But if it is not encouraging it means you are a loser and you should then take your feedback somewhere else.

I have devised this advanced strategy by employing statistical analysis via R on S&P futures, 30 year treasury futures, VIX futures and VXX, and deployed it on a C++ trading platform, it consists on selling VXX when certain conditions are met. The execution shall be based on establishing a small...

You can try such wonderful trading strategy trading the wheat-bitcoin spread, very highly correlated, obviously for very fundamental reasons, yet please first figure out which one leads and why.
