    How much longer are we going to tolerate this shit?

    I would also add himself to the list of fronts he is fighting. It is over folks. Some still have delusions, but come Nov 8, we will have our first female president.

    Tremors through the Republican Party

    If Trump drops out now, and Pence gets moved to the top with right VP, anything can happen. Out of all the candidates Trump is the only one against whom Hillary is not really vulnerable. If Trump stays, it will be a blood bath for GOP everywhere.

    One In 14 Americans Has Lost A Friend Over This Presidential Election

    This is exactly why there is so much hatred. My close friends are about 90% republicans and 10% democrats. But we are still friends no matter what, and can have rational discussions to express our views. I personally would never loose a friend or family member on the fact that his political...

    Live trading room with DOM view

    Lukas, For the most part, DOM can only be traded with automation (not saying it impossible to do it manually, but not likely). I have spent years trading it on KOSPI futures. Here is the tread where some concepts are outlined...

    SEC charges hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman, Omega Advisers with insider trading

    Majority of big guys belong to "expert networks", insider trading is very much alive and thriving. Nothing really surprising here. Some whales occasionally get a slap on a wrist, business as usual.

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    Very well said. Valid points that's why our futures are fully automated. They kick in before the storm, and like an insurance company many times we get stopped out and loose a bit. As far as rolling (PUTs), when VIX really spikes, rolling gets quite interesting if original position was entered...

    Take a look at LJM. They are just fine, there are others as well. Apart from death and taxes nothing is 100% certain.

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    Hi Mav, Totally understand. Our model would make us easily survive 2008, with big paper losses, which just as quickly were reversed by the end of the year. The is is theory of course. If such event happens (more likely when), I will post on this forum what happens. Having a right instrument...

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    I think most options sellers that loose suffer from 2 main flaws: 1) Wong Instrument 2) Greed, aka high leverage. I only have 2.5 years under my belt, and have yet to go through major crash. All back testing shows that we will be just fine, but living through it will be a true test.

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    I have been doing it since December 2013. So far, all is well. But like you said "come after 10 years". Though our strategy is a bit more sophisticated. We hedge (when needed), with 100% automated algo that trade futures. The only instrument that we trade is ES.

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    Tell it to Tony Caine from LJM, who have been doing it for over 12 years managing 100s of millions. He is doing just fine. Not all naked options selling is equal.

    Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

    This really sucks. It was such a great and inspirational story. Knowing how hard it is to raise assets without decent pedigree, it is still amazing she was able to raise such a bug AUM pool.

    Buying a Trading System/Indicators

    No one will ever reveal a method that actually works. I can only think of 2 exceptions: 1) Close friend or relative bringing you on board. 2) SOES bandits were having seminars where they were educating others to get more people involved. if anyone knows others, please share.
