Austin, I give you a lot of props for putting yourself out there. I've said that before on here. But you are a good example of what I'm talking about. You've been trading futures for 10 years and to my knowledge, have some sort of a vending business which is fine, since you disclose all...

Actually, it's 30 days and 60 days to do a 10 and 20 day combine respectively. Any there is no luck because they have to duplicate their act. Again, I've voiced my criticisms of TST on here loudly. But just because something is hard, does not make it a scam. And btw, let me very clear about...

Seriously? Dude, I paid out the ass for a college education. Yeah, those "real" firms kind of like that college thing. Nothing in life is free. Everything has a cost. TST will actually let the avg high school educated ET'er with no quantitative skills to speak and no proven ability to...

Six month track record? Where the fuck are you getting this drivel from? Name one firm anywhere in the world where you sat down for an interview? A real firm sits you in a room with scratch paper, TI calculator and a two hour exam testing your mathematical aptitude. Where are you getting...

Dude, enough OK. You obviously have never been employed by a trading firm. If you want to be a long term investor go invest grandma's variable annuity.

I know the firm. You need to live in Chicago and work in their office and you better have a hard quantitative edge that you can "prove" to get funding. If you mention squiggly lines on a chart with pretty colors they'll toss you out of the interview.

Not if he wants to keep them.

If you kept on reading he corrected himself and stated it was a different person.

I'm not sure where you got that from but I have no relationship with them. Surf and I in good spirits did a combine two years ago with them for the purpose of showing how the process works and there is a quite lengthy thread on that as well as several others discussing TST.

One has publicly discussed it on here: Crispy. The other has not so I'm not going to provide his name.

No, they are not real. For example, say the April 1900 call in SPX is 15.00 bid at 16.00 offered. And say I, a retail customer come in to offer to sell at 15.50. And let's assume for the sake of this argument that the so called "market fair value" is 15.50. Well, TOS is now going to show...

That's a pretty easy fix. You can customize your own columns on the watch list with the thinkscript and create whatever you want. For example, I have my own relative volume bars that actually give you the level of volume on a product at that point in the trading session compared to some...

There are a few guys on ET that have passed and have been funded with TST.

Yeah the irony here is, had the guy left out all the fake posts on trading and just talked about current events or big picture macro stuff, this could have been an interesting thread with interesting dialogue. But by sprinkling the thread with these "short two more units of SPX here" posts in...

When most posters ask the question, usually (not always) they are looking for places with small deposits. THAT you are not going to find. Most the "reputable" firms I know would want 50k to open an account. And to be honest, any firms that take less, you probably don't want.

It is trading related and I prefer not to talk about it. There are plenty of other things I have been talking about for the last 1400 pages though. :)

Nice job Crispy! I don't think the detractors wanted to hear that. Can you please change your answer to "it's a scam!" :)

It holds. If one doesn't earn a favorable enough interest rate on the short stock then you early exercise.

It IS put to call parity. The ITM call HAS to trade synthetically with the OTM put due to the "no arbitrage principle". This is why I had you google BOTH terms. The arbitrage principle is the foundation of option pricing. It allows you to price synthetics on the basis of put to call...
