I do not hate it one bit, and no train was missed since I had 0 interest to invest/trade into something I could not understand. I was shocked by its meteoric ascend, but thought it was natural. The picture became a lot clearer once I learned about USDT. In case you did not know Bitfinex fired...

Nothing about supply/demand or buying/selling in Bitcoin or most cryptos. Look up USDT (usd tethers), how they being created out of thin air to support Bitcoin. Had it not been for USDT, Bitcoin would have been below 1K or less now. If you look at the chart, the support looks anything but natural.

My issue with Access is size limit. I think it is like 2GB. MySQL is open source and free, this is where I load all my options data.

Hello, it is too serious to depend on local ISP issues. I have all in AWS cloud. Welcome to ET, looks like you just joined. Tons of great content here :)

I am not sure if you trade live, but if you do, there is such a small thing called commissions. I suggest you watch a movie called “Teading Places”, it is explained there how commissions work.

And how exactly is IB ripping off clients to a tune of part of 25B???? sounds like someone is envious and holding a grudge for whatever reason.

Easy then, just go to higher time frames if the underlying logic allows

Why why why would you go from algos to discretionary? It makes no sense.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Succesful algo trader will almost always suck as diescdtioary trader. They will subotage themselves.

Programming can easily create errors, but that is what back testing and forward testing are for. 1) BackTest 2) Forward test live on sim account (compare results every week to a back test of the week against sim trades - it must match) 3) Go Live on Small account (compare results every week to...

You missing my point. Yes, Edge alone is not enough of course. But it is first and foremost important ingredient of successful trading. If it is not there, nothing else will matter. If an athlete can not run, no mental state will help him win.

The August 7th video was times well. We all recall what happened during late August 2015.

Exactly what I do in my algos. The system skips trades when valatility of instrument is too high/low.

Yes, 10 thumbs up.

Exactly my point, mind misses too much, algo does not.

Hey, to each its own. I learned the hard way pitfalls in manual backtesting. Mind tends to filter/miss things quite easily thus not producing accurate results. Good luck in your journey.

How do you know it is "a hell of an edge", apart from insider trading? You could be fooling yourself, or just catching a bull market wave. You need to backtest, and if you can backtest, you can automate to your exact point.

Not disputing what you are saying. But edge is required above everything else 10x. No money management or mental disciple will help you beat Casino in roulette long term. They have the edge over you. Period.

In order to make $ in trading you need the edge (long term investing is different) Simple as that. Everything else comes secondary. I read most "mental" books out there. Did not help me one bit. People just fooling themselves thinking that if only they get in right state of mind chips will...

Very curious what will come out of this.
