That doesn't really tell the whole story. For example, in 2000 Amazon was lumped in with Pets.com Now in 2021, Amazon employees more than 1 million people. Would you say Amazon is just a bubble? https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/29/amazon-hiring-pandemic-holidays/ Nasdaq 100...

I know there is a lot of discussion of cryptocurrencies on these boards, so thought an update on Chia Coin would be interesting to many here. Chia Coin is here to stay, and the global shortage of SSD in sales channels is very real. Background on the company: Chia Coin was created by Bram...

Interesting article about how if you missed the top 10 best days in the market from 1999-2019, your return was cut in half. If you missed the top 20 best days, you actually lost money. https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/04/11/what-happens-when-you-miss-the-best-days-in-the-st.aspx There are...

4/30/21 +11 ticks, 1 contract ($137.5) Choppy day, not expecting to make any money. I screen recorded the morning session, but unfortunately the file is far too large to post. Saved for my own purposes, need to figure out a better way of sharing recordings (maybe reduce quality).

@maxinger I agree with you. Yesterday was parabolic, and was very good for breakout trading. +63 ticks on an opening breakout is not the norm, but it's important to not miss these because it helps average out the losers. Found some interesting graphics about different types of days. I'm not...

@SimpleMeLike what I mean is the ticks already is the PnL because its 1 contract at $12.5 per tick * 63 ticks = $787.50 - 1 round trip commission

Is this different from typical prediction markets? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction_market

@SimpleMeLike Right now I'm not scaling in/out and like thinking of PnL in terms of ticks because I don't think the $ gain/loss tells the whole story. It's like the youtube thumbnails "$2000 in 10 seconds!", but turns out they bet very large contract size with smaller profit targets than stop...

@traider not natively, but works great over vps

@comagnum Big Mike has a whole write-up about bonding multiple ISP connections here: https://futures.io/tech-support/37669-vpn-bonding-aggregation-redundancy.html For many an easier option is trading over a VPS. I'm a bit biased, but highly recommend it because network redundancies at data...

Starting a new journal to document the journey of trading the ES, mostly around the open (8:30 am CST). I know a lot of traders like to use tick charts, but I'm going to stick with the 5 minute chart instead because it eliminates a lot of noise, especially around the open when 2000 ticks fills...

Careful with using Chrome extensions, because they can be sold by their original creators and auto updated with spyware or worse. If an easy alternative solution exists, go with that over a Chrome extension. In this case blocking websites directly in the host file is easy enough. Can also...

Earlier this year, the entire east coast on Verizon lost internet when someone in Brooklyn accidentally cut through a cable... https://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-fios-outage-cut-fiber-cable-brooklyn-2021-1 At least losing internet connection is a risk that can be minimized.

@Bad_Badness Micro Bitcoin futures are launching next week, and will hopefully bring much needed liquidity to CME bitcoin futures https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/micro-bitcoin-futures.html

@Omer1235 for people just starting out, minimizing expenses is important. There are many brokers, platforms, and data providers to choose from.

Nowadays basic programming for utility is the new "Microsoft Office" on resumes. It is not uncommon for everyone on a desks know their way around Python scripts for web scraping and manipulating data.

@trader1974 One of the most enduring sayings is cut losses early and let winners run.

@bitgooods most of our customers trade Futures, but I imagine scalping and technical trading futures to not be too different from crypto. I was say the most common mistake is being under capitalized, and placing bets too large as a percentage of your bank roll.

Bitcoin has worked well for Tesla, based on yesterday's earnings report... especially considering that Tesla's investment was a contributing factor in the current rally. https://www.wsj.com/articles/tesla-makes-more-money-trading-bitcoin-than-selling-cars-11619517615

@tonyf As Trader200K said, trading can be separated from personal using different computers. I'm a bit biased because I work for a cloud server provider, but I truly believe running your trading applications over a server is a good solution. The server does not need to be remote either, it can...
