Hello, From time to time I make a swing trade or day trade if I see an opportunity . I was thinking if selling a covered call at the same time would be a good idea. Let say a stock opens at $100 . You not gonna hold overnight. You think it might go to $104 today and you are setting your stop...

There also was no movement of the underlying stock during my bidding or shortly after I was filled. How often do you see this kind fills? I still don't get how was this allowed to happen with all automated trading MM use. It almost looks like a programming bug as they basically gave up $24 a...

Hello, Do you think VZIO is a buy at around $19?

Like I said It was just a thought experiment. If you need knowledge to be a successful trader then random picks must result in a loss. So taking the opposite side of the trade must result in a profit. The conclusion came from the thought experiment itself , It is not my view of the traders as I...

You can pick any criteria you like. You can create your own stop losses and sell signals .I don't think it matters as you are simply testing a success of a totally random trading system. Your choice of criteria. You can just randomly pick a stock from sp500 to open the trade, then after 1 week...

I agree that some random trades would would identical to the trades made by knowledgeable traders. We would see some profitable month made by random traders but the more trades random trades would make the less of those profitable month we would see. I wish somebody run a simulation and show...

I think backtesting is the only way to find out and we can have only these outcomes: 1) random picks made people lose money on average. so doing the opposite would make you money . Conclusion would be: You don't need any knowledge to trade just take the opposite side of a random trade. 2)...
