Lol, at buying a massively leveraged contract and thinking you are paying 0% interest. Lol, at talking trash while providing 0 facts or understanding. Why don't you buy an ES futures contract, invest ~280K in bonds, and come out ahead of all those idiots buying SPY directly? :p

I think this is a good question and you are thinking about this right and there's a lot more loss in commissions, storage and insurance if you trade commodities other than index futures, and huge will be your cost of borrowing. If we breakdown the cost to breakeven for ES you have the 1)...

So agree with clubber lang and maxinger. I was thinking completely the same. I remember a couple of years back I actively traded crude oil and I remember looking at the big buy and sell orders at key support and resistance and saw the orders get pulled right before the market ripped through...

Technically, I think you are supposed to take into consideration all the derivatives on an underlying when doing taxes, but not sure how you'd even do it here and no way the IRS will sit there and say, hey, he has qqq with 2 year maturity and he's hedging with short term qqq options, that leap...

This is so stupid on so many levels. First, apparently he doesn't understand he should be compensated for risk. There's a thing called a drift, no? The market expects you to earn the risk free rate + be compensated for risk. So if you hold stocks you will generally always be making money. If...

I don't fully get your example, but how possibly could you buy an ITM call for cheaper than the stock? A call is essentially a stock + put (ignoring interest, dividends, etc.), so your put is essentially negative if the ITM call + strike price is less than the current price. So yes, definitely...

I don't see the divergences personally. Are you looking to go long or short based on this?

Doesn't make any sense. I assume it's a glitch. If you email them they'll eventually get back to you. Futures and futures options (which is considered futures) should be exempt from PDT

The only way I can guarantee I will get NO work done is to go into an office. I'm about efficiency and productive. Before covid I had team members that asked if they could go home so they could actually get work done. I could care less as long as work got done. People working from home were...

I think of wealth in terms of cashflow, not net worth. I consider someone wealthy if they can buy what they want when they want without worry. Everyday is Christmas if they choose. If you have a 500K house and make 300K a year, you can buy whatever you want when you want. I consider this...

If you need a 2nd response on this, I'm not sure you are ready for this adventure. I googled what he said and in under 45 seconds I had multiple examples. I would focus on taking the time to research online and figure out how best to present the information.

Volatility can stay high for a lot longer than your bankroll can allow. Often you'll profit, but when you don't you'll get hit bad. Also, you suffer backwardation at high levels, so the times it sits up there longer, the more money you'll bleed. I agree most often it works, but when it doesn't...

Just unbelievable. That merge has been so disappointing and awful. On multiple levels, Schwab even with the ToS platform is inferior to Ameritrade.

/NKD?

lol, at making money by scalping in 2024. I waited for the part where I see how he really makes money. It's not from scalping or from other trading strategy, it's in you buying the workshop. If the strategies are that profitable, why give them all away and why supplement income with workshops...

In other words, as a successful trading strategy why don't people short the VIX when it reaches 40, or 50, or 60, etc.? I'm sure many tried that in March of 2020 and got burned horribly, despite it eventually turned lower. It can continued to remain at that level of volatility or increase for an...

I like ninjatrader alot. Has good customer service and I like their charts alot. You can do a free demo trial to check it out.

Why is it an edge? Do you have a strategy or method that isn't written in books? Do you have information that if you shared with others you would worry about your strategy being less effective? Do you have a way of looking at markets that few others do? If you read books or listened to others...

Everyday? No, I think that would be absolutely impossible. I think every year is extraordinarily hard (over say 10+ years), let alone every month, week, or day.
