Please be careful about in what context you use the term "trend". It's a powerful term that very few understand correctly. We would have much more work to do on the downside and on a sustained basis before you could legitimately state that we are in a long term "down trend". Short term, yes...

Just to echo Patrick's post - I've personally always put tight control limits on my order settings. But hey, if it were a legit situation I'd be the guy to place an offer at ~ 4.5% above the last price print :D

Please have mercy and kill this thread. Just a thought. Carry on.

IMHO it was derelict that the proprietary trading firm's principals or risk officer didn't catch this right away. He was buying the options at a price point far cheaper than the settlement marks. Just very basic options knowledge and common sense would have caught it - a way, way-OTM option is...

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2018/10/large-scale-wind-power-has-its-down-side/ In two papers — published today in the journals Environmental Research Letters and Joule — Harvard University researchers find that the transition to wind or solar power in the U.S. would require five to 20...

I was contacted several years ago by SMB and was asked to teach spread trading for them which I declined to do. Their roots are in stock trading courses and stock trading. I am not at all sure if these are the same firm principals. As a general side note there was in the past regulatory issues...

I’m not aware of “tryouts”. But track records and references will take you very far. If by “legit” you mean a CME registered electronic proprietary trading firm that only risks the firm’s capital and traders are treated as employees - maybe call the CME and ask for a list of CME Rule 106.R...

Apparently Mexico can but Canada cannot. And as a side note Mexico has some common ground qualms with Canada as well. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nafta-canada-mexico-dispute-1.4817612

My sense is that Trump is finding that Tariffs are NOT the unilateral bludgeon he had hoped for; likewise Trudeau is finding that his theatrical platitudes to the Canadian and US liberal base count for nothing in trade negotiations. It is the Executive Branch who negotiates trade Agreements...

Not my pun, the author’s. Hopefully the quotations around his text and the link afford him appropriate reference and salutation.

https://legalinsurrection.com/2018/09/fun-new-texas-law-allows-the-open-carry-of-swords-and-long-knives/ “The phrase “everything’s bigger in Texas” is about to become even more clear-cut. On Friday, Texans will legally be allowed to carry blades longer than 5.5 inches in most — but not all —...

I have to admit - it brings a wisp of sentimentality to my eyes.

An "edge" is the system or methodology that allows you to consistently take money out of a market. From what I've seen "edges" are rarely durable and are usually highly personalized or unique to an individual. On the floor - an edge could be standing next to your brother-in-law who is filling...

And John Podesta's progressive Center for American Progress seems to think that American manufacturing is very important: https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/economy/reports/2011/04/07/9427/the-importance-and-promise-of-american-manufacturing/ "First, jobs in the manufacturing sector are...

The St. Louis Fed doesn't really agree with your assessment at all. In fact, in a March 2018 white paper the first sentence recites how important domestic manufacturing is to the US public. The Fed makes the case that US manufacturing is fundamentally strong...

I agree with you sentimental likeness towards Canada. Trudeau has for his part made a big mess for Canada with regards to the NAFTA negotiations, however. He needs to slowly wean both the US and Canada away from agricultural subsidies and save his auto industry IMHO.

Have you seen the salary, retirement, and insurance bennies that Federal workers get these days? It’s better than most comparable private sector workers in the US.

If that were the case Canada’s Trade minister wouldn’t be spending the weekend huddled with her staff in Washington with orders to show up outside Robert Lighthizer‘s office promptly at 8:00am Monday morning. I realize that you said that you personally were well situated for an economy...

Trump is doing exactly what he told HIS (emphasis) voters he would do pretty much. He’s been stymied with The Wall but I’m sure he’s not done pushing for that.
