    Yes, that's two of the things you should watch for.

    Bye bye IB, hello Schwab

    What, you think that's some sort of burn?

    Bye bye IB, hello Schwab

    I don't think you should be concerned about that. If as you perceive, you're talking about "tics" on execution if at all. Not much you can really do about that and even if so, small potatoes. You need to get the "swing or bigger" play correct to be a success. If someone scrapes a few pennies...

    Bye bye IB, hello Schwab

    I'm a KISS guy. Both in my former business activities and trading. Early on, I wanted to possibly be "all things" to potential customers... you know, "widen my net of possibilities"... so that every service/product I could supply a client was a potential source of income. Come to find out...

    That'll buy you some burritos!

    Haven't seen this much bullishness since 1999. Most bears have thrown in the towell

    Markets can get to the point where they rationalize, "to the moon". Sensible players should not be too aggressive about fading that psycho. Let's not forget, "Market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".

    Haven't seen this much bullishness since 1999. Most bears have thrown in the towell

    He might be forced into capitulating too. Story over the weekend about "Hedgies (who had been negative/skeptical) Tossed In The Towel and (forced to?) Chased". "Overbelief in the Fed"... likely the final straw that breaks the camel's back... but it may be from much higher than we can imagine...

    Democrats want to defund the police

    I said it years ago. The Democraps want to rule so badly that they are willing to "burn the country to the ground so long as they get to rule over the ashes". We're seeing some of that now! :(

    candlesticks

    I read Nison's candlestick book years ago. Have concluded the only value is in the "range extreme reversal" patterns... stars, engulfing, maybe dark cloud. Nothing special about these even... you should be seeing the same from other sources. As for "indicators to supplement?"... I presume you...

    Please read carefully before choosing a Broker!

    So.. you make a play with a "1-tic profit target" executed with a stop-limit? You call that a "win"? Not to mention of course, you hold-and-hold-and-hold as the trade goes against you... waiting for the market to reverse so you can capture your "tic"? And then sometimes have to toss in the...

    NFL players send video telling league 'We will not be silenced'

    Difficult finding sympathy for the NFL/NBA. After all, "black guys making BIG MONEY playing sports and complaining about it?"... gets more tiresome by the day.

    Calls to defund police?! Wtf epic fail

    Criminals smacking their lips, aren't they?

    Please read carefully before choosing a Broker!

    Guess I should qualify and eliminate "writing OTM options". If writing covered, doesn't really matter if you win because the win is small. If writing naked, you could have lots of "picking up dimes in front of a steam roller" wins.... to one day to all come-a-cropper. None of that really...

    Please read carefully before choosing a Broker!

    Every noob wannabe trader likes to envision some "80-90% win rate is out there somewhere". That's just ridiculous! (It's IMPOSSIBLE for there to be 80-90% winners... anybody who brags otherwise is a LIAR!. If there were a 90% win strategy, it would soon become known to the marketplace and...

    How I Made W10 Livable... perhaps something here will apply to you

    I don't like W10, but acquiesced to using it like most everybody else. It's invasive, intrusive and other nasties and tries to do all kinds of things I don't want nor care about. After I made the changes below, it now works more like I want it to... like W7. That is, just run my software and...

    Eliminating Bing and Cortana

    I used Revo to delete Cortana et al from W10 V1809 and 1909 (different machines). I'm thinking MSFT might put Cortana back on my rig when I update to 2004. Will have to see then if I can still uninstall "things". (That will have to wait. I've got "2004 upgrade" on delay for 1 year.) In...

    Eliminating Bing and Cortana

    Pale Moon is an offshoot of Firefox. You can go into the Group Policy editor and disable Automatic Updates.. and then delay/control Windows updates manually. You can delay new versions of 10 for up to a year... give them time to fix things before they get onto your machine.
