Only reason to do math in my head fast is to quickly convert $'s to shares. However, I suck at it so much, i end up doing it in excel or typing in random share amounts in the trading app to figure out the dollars.

how old are you? What school did you graduate from?

being emotional doesn’t mean being a girl on her period. it’s part of the contradictions that make a good trader. if you are really confident about a trade, you are missing something. If you are really scared about a position, then perhaps your hand is weak in the event you are wrong. one of...

the most successful are highly emotional about their pnl. Gains give them significant pleasure and losses significant pain. Many of them have neuroses that make them extra sensitive to the pleasure feelings. They work extra hard to get their hit. That’s why so many of them are cocaine addicts...

no because it’s not strictly free float market. They make adjustments.

Selling puts is not the same as selling life insurance to millions of people with actuarial edge, fees, and favorable tax regulations. Especially when your goal is to use those proceeds to buy stocks.

No. 1. He makes a lot of money on private companies that he purchases outright. You can't do that. 2. He gets a lot of insider phone calls - especially in times of distress. He can sell his brand for lucrative deals. 3. His model has evolved over time with information getting faster and with...

First, you have to pay for the weights. They aren't even on the bloomberg terminal, though its possible someone has pirated them. Second, why would need a faster calculation. You can't exploit it. Even half the program trading desks can't exploit this. If its to get a faster calculation of the...

Of course you want lower Commissions, but far more money can be made (or not lost) with good customer service.

I think the stimulus was so strong that it is still carrying. We printed 4 trillion dollars (20% of our GDP) for not 20% of our economy shutting down for the whole year. And that doesn't include other soft things that were done. And to make it political: Can you imagine where we would be if we...

Government stimulus. They have poured so much money in its masked a lot of problems. Question is can the economy fake it until it makes it? I believe it can and you won’t see fallout beyond your favorite restaurant location will change owners.

that trump is batshit crazy and republicans are walking a fine line of managing their careers in a post Trump world (where it is unclear how much influence trump will have)

Precedence says that the underlying has to be the same. So selling spy to buy qqq won’t trigger a wash sale but selling spy to buy vanguard sp500 mutual fund would. And selling CCL to buy RCL would not trigger a wash sale. for options: long calls and short puts are considered the same...

one man is to blame. that one man has you using “statistics” to justify a belief that our democratic process doesn’t work. under any other president, Republican or democrat, this wouldn’t have been a political issue.

Maybe the ram is affecting it. side note, I just got ssd drives installed on my trading desktop. What a difference from the HDDs! processing 150k rows between excel and Sql server would take hours, now takes 15 min.

as a descretionary trader for the last 20 years, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to succeed isn’t to set up rules. After all it’s easy to break those rules with a flippant “just this once and never again,” but rather to understand your emotional state. Like a human soul floating...

they don’t actually believe in democracy or the republic or the constitution. They only believe in power. On

im tired of you polluting threads with your condescending tone. goodbye.

It’s a big tech conspiracy.
