    What risk management mistake did optionsellers.com fund manager do to blow up his fund and clients?

    No, I don't do options... so I'm foggy about what "net short gamma" actually means. What is not in my bag of tricks... is "allowing any position to run against me with the hope of it reverting to the mean to save my bacon". Many times it does. Sometimes not... and can have catastrophic...

    Why is everything about being Black ?

    Personally, I think Trump deserves praise. I'd like to see an list of honest, genuine complaints about Trump for things he's done and his policies which harmed citizens and made our lives worse off. And no, "Hate Trump" ain't gonna get it.

    Will the Fed Decide Not to Raise Rates After All?

    Trump is right... about rate hikes "hurting things as they've been". (Trumpy laments, "Obama had zero interest rates, why shouldn't I?". "Not fair to compare my administration to his". Well... Odumbo should NEVER have had such low rates for so long... and it did a TON of damage to the economy...

    The missing feature from every back tesing platform

    "... And I still manually trade new ideas to see if worthy to get programmed. But generally always working on ways to lower drawdowns of intraday and longer term, if you not losing much, profits take care of themselves, all we can really do in trading is control losses and not profits..."

    Optionsellers.com goes bust and the apology video is painful to watch

    This is a classic example of trading without stop discipline. Some on ET argue against stops... " Stops just create losers. Stocks always come back if you just hanging there". Until one time they don't. Similar thing is going to happen to some leveraged Nasdaq players in the next real bear...

    What risk management mistake did optionsellers.com fund manager do to blow up his fund and clients?

    Guess I won't be getting any more email solicitations from them guys.

    Why is everything about being Black ?

    I hope you're right, but we've had plenty of time to do all of that. Yet the Left/Democraps keep amping up with their agenda. I'm afraid that after the 2020 election, America will once again have DemoCraps in the WH and both houses of Congress.... and all they bad they can muster. What do we...

    Why is everything about being Black ?

    It's amazing to me. Whites make up only about 8% of the world's population (mostly in US, Europe, and Canada... maybe another 2% in Russia?)... yet we are the "evil" ones. If we're only 8%, then why is the world so dead-set against us? Is it because we have been the most successful...

    Syrian migrant, 20, is arrested for ‘raping three-year-old boy’ at Greek refugee camp

    No charges to be filed. The 3-year old "consented" to being ass-raped! And besides... it's "their culture". https://www.infowars.com/syrian-migrant-20-is-arrested-for-raping-three-year-old-boy-at-greek-refugee-camp/

    Paul Tudor Jones: Corporate Credit Will Cause the Next Crisis

    Fairly likely. Unlike the US government who can effectively "print money" to cushion themsleves out of self-inflicted credit woes, corporations cannot.

    Why is everything about being Black ?

    It's all about "playing upon the guilt" all of us whites are "supposed" to have. BULLSHIT! So..way back when, the world economy and culture cultivated blacks as slaves.... wasn't just the US, it was world wide. And American wasn't even the worst player. In retrospect, not a good thing. Buy...

    Feels Weird to win ?

    I've often said, "once you get it, trading the markets is like finding money in the street" (I know what that's like. Once while in college, I found $4 in a gutter... just "bend over and pick it up".) :) Trading the markets, you're SUPPOSED TO WIN! And the only way you don't is because either...

    Feels Weird to win ?

    Some day you may have an ephinany. That is, "I get it. I'm supposed to win... almost every day... and I understand why". The big deal is the "understanding why". Once you get that, you can just bag up the money and take it to the bank! Instead of it feeling "weird to win", it will feel...

    If such is the case, you should stick to that and forget about everything else.

    Commission costs for scaling out?

    Speaking of "scaling", an anecdote. Years ago when I ran my mutual fund timing service, I had a customer service person at some fund tell me about one particular shareholder... who called up and "moved 1% of his money EVERY day". Like he was accomplishing something.??

    Anybody Running Sierra Chart on 4k Monitors?

    Well... with 3x, 4k monitors, I'll get 6480 x 3840 res... (portrait mode), which is the objective... to "display more bars". With the TV as a monitor, the res is 3840x2160.

    The Democrats Are the Threat to Democracy

    "Threat to democracy"? Of course they are. They disdain the US Constitution. What they want is big government, dictatorial power and control. And the stupid sheeple hoi polloi support them like "hungry fish drawn to the chum". Sad.
