Funny how left calls Bush the worst and right calls Obama the worst. And the right answer is???

NinjaTrader satisfies most apart from multiple instances of the software. You can have as many windows but it is a single instance of software that can run on the same machine at the same time. It is free until you need to trade live. Fantastic software.

Was planning to go this year, missed last few, but it did not work out. Like meeting NinjaTrader team in person.

Wrong, the best mentors (unless friends) will require you to pay. But they will not ask for the money to themselves, they will direct you to pay to some kind charity. Many people do no appreciate when things are given freely. This way both parties contribute.

The devil as usual is in the details. I stand by what you say when it is applied to a healthy adult who can work. What if one is born disabled? Very serious work injury or very elderly/sick? And the list goes on and on. Like everything else all things are good in moderation. Pure capitalism is...

"Critics also contend that a financial transaction tax would have damaging effects on trade volume ..... That is debatable ..... " What the hell are they smoking????? Did they look at what happened in Sweden??????

Know exactly what you mean. The solution is simple and complex - automation.

Do you seriously think someone will give you this info??? Why not just wiring you $. If you do have a system, and need to automate it, I can provide you feedback.

Agree

Just to clarify, I am betting on outcome of Trump vs Hillary. If you agree, it's a bet. My charity would be Make a wish foundation.

When betting on the winner in beauty contest, you do not bet on who you think is the prettiest, you bet on who the judges think is the prettiest.

Be very mindful what you wish for... Like I said I am willing to put a wager on it.

I am willing to put up a wager that if it is Hillary vs Trump, she can start victory dance as soon as he gets nomination. The only way to defeat her is some kind of smoking gun (email and Bengazi do not matter). Trump is popular with his base. Candidate needs more than base to win general election.

Hi KTM, Let's use options in S&P eminis as an example. In order to get any decent premium the spreads have to be at least 50 points apart, and if a large sudden move happens, losing 50 points several times will wipe out spread traded as easily as naked trader who will face a large loss once...

Got it. I missed max draw down. Tough for sure, and most investors would be freaking out. But they knew what they were doing and survived. The strategy is called Aggressive after all.

Mav, where did you get 67? It was actually 47. But yes, I heard that large chunk of the fund was their money.

Risk/reward go hand in hand. I always use them as an example when I hear that ALL options sellers are usually gone within max 7 years. They are still here and managing 100s of millions.

Mav, Not sure where you got 67% it actually was 47% in 08. Obviously steep, but survivable if ones knows what they are doing. They actually are a great case study how an option seller can steadily make money and survive black swan events. They have been in business long enough to prove it.

Not really. That's actually their bread and butter. The key is how they select their options and mange risk.
