I attached their trading parameters. Seems straightforward.

I did look at them and received an application. I could do with them but they don't provide much capital or leverage for options held overnight. I swing options, that's my bread and butter.

Everything is in the charts, so we should become multi-billionaires. Just read the charts. It's all there and predictable.

Except for FOMC days! When the markets go crazy because two lines crossed or because of super-excitement over a change in Fed policy?

I'm not into price action (candles) alone being sufficient. You aren't saying this but I am leading up to my point. I really think the best TA involves a points system of indicators and signals. I created an 11-pt analysis that I call a diagnostic that I use to guesstimate price action (I trade...
