I think that is a different game doing this as MM because it is very short term orientated. Doing that kind of scalping is usually for the retailer not profitable because of transaction costs. But this is different when being a MM. Let us not discuss strategies here the average trader cannot...

Are there any post covid symptoms I need to be aware of ? Because I had no covid so far and I am vaccined 4 times now too. I heard you can get easily tired when doing tasks (afterwards a covid infection) and significant percentage of persons who had covid suffer on post-symptoms for a longer...

Make sure you do not trade with a large percentage of your savings. Only use small accounts (or demo accounts) because it takes time to learn everything you need. It can really take many years, so you need to factor in your living expenses for some years (without consistent trading profits) too.

With healthy eating you mean only minerals (enough salt and water) + vitamins or ketogenic eating ? Because it reduces the blood sugar levels and you have more constant energy when you do keto (tried it already). Otherwise you get tired on a heavy meal at lunch in the early afternoon, which I...

Are there any good academic studies on measuring of biofeedbacks or neurofeedbacks of very successful (discretionary) traders (I mean Sharpe 4 or higher when looking at the equity curve) because I am not familiar with terms from the subject medicine here (and do not really know where to look at) ?

For the discretionary traders especially does it help you (or did you ever try it) to measure your pulse (heart beat) when you make trading decisions ? I could imagine that high pulse is a sign of stress and not good when holding a position or entering a new one. But it might be different to...

I have only meant and spoken about pairs based on statistical arbitrage. Of course there are mathematical relationships among financial instruments. But it is a totally different game to profit from mispricings among Put-Call-Parity or Cash-Futures relationships (and much more difficult with...

There is no real relationship (or pair) just based on statistics. If you only look for cointegration you will find many spurious and non stable pairs. You need to look for really fundamentally related relationships. But then you do not need to measure cointegration because you already know they...

Lagarde has no real plan to resume it in short. Because the projected inflation of 2.3% in 2024 (which is way too low because of second rounds effects on wages for example and of course the war could remain for many years here and thus causing high energy prices). Lagarde cannot say if and how...

Pattern in the 1min ES found ? Really ? Did you check out-of-sample meaning rolling walk forward results, are you sure you found something consistent profitable ? And I mean not only 1 trade every (second) week ?

This is also a question how you define Money Management as position sizing and Risk Management as having different kind of Stoplosses. But here it is only about Position Sizing.

12.Margin Target Margin target position sizing sets the size of each position so that the chosen percentage of account equity will be allocated to margin. For example, if you choose a margin target of 30%, then 30% of the account equity will be allocated to margin. For futures trading, the...

Do not bother wmwmwmwmwmwmwmwmwm..., he is just a layman believing that his short term trend-following strategy on the SP500 market will hold forever. The SPX made 10% with a 2% DD in the last 4 weeks, now he thinks he is the king forever. You are right that counter trend provides more value...

16.Maximum Possible This method sets the position size to the maximum possible number of shares or contracts based on margin requirements. In other words, you’ll trade as many contracts or shares as you can afford. For example, consider a futures trade where the margin requirement for one...

Let me know your results here. Thanks.

Look at prop firms especially for Forex. There are lot of them popping up which provide you the extra capital you are looking for. E.g. you get for $500 a 100k account where you can have 12k Drawdown and get a 75% profit split. You need to do some tests to pass before you get this capital on a...

Yep, I know there is also a published index tracking those here. But I am not so much into stocks at all, so this is not something for me. But thanks for mentioning it. It can have some value.

Any poll is limited to maximal 10 options where to choose from, so I had to limit myself here. But you can post in addition to the poll.

I know that expectancy and second, the polls are limited, you cannot increase the number of options over 10, so I needed to create more threads to cover all.

cannot increase the number of 10 options for the poll, so I had to limit myself. But earnings play is among news (you mean earnings for stocks I guess so that are important news) I would suggest. For Theta you can choose Volatility (as proxy for options strategies here).
