    Historical data for futures needed

    It all depends on the time-frame that you are after, if you are looking for daily candles you might be just fine with free services like Yahoo, but if you need intra-day data you are going to have to pay for it.

    European options are illiquid as fuck

    They are not as attractive as the US ones, they force you to keep them until expiration most of the time, so that doesn't attract many traders. https://www.cmegroup.com/education/courses/introduction-to-options/understanding-the-difference-european-vs-american-style-options.html...

    Please recommend a Futures brokers for the European region

    Britannia looks out of my reach, just by noting the fact that I can't see any way to open an account. They look oriented to professionals. :D https://britannia.com Marex Spectron looks pretty good, I will definitely check them out. They allow me to open an account straight away, so that is a...

    Please recommend a Futures brokers for the European region

    I am with IB at the moment and I can't hate it more. I know you guys have plenty of options to choose from in the US but in Europe is way limited, I am struggling to find a broker that offer these bullet points.

    final keyword error Java

    Final does not mean immutable, you still can modify the contents of the collection. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_%28Java%29 What it means is: "A final variable can only be initialized once, either via an initializer or an assignment statement". You essentially can create only one...

    FTX has recovered 7.3 billion in assets and considering reopening...

    FTX did something clever, they involved American politicians in the scam. So that is something to jot down. If you want your scamming scheme to be successful make sure that you attract politicians. Pretty much the same way it has been working through history, nothing new really.

    Anyone have any experience with "Landshark Capital"

    You don't like contrarian opinions, do you? I read my comment a couple of times to find out where the toxicity was, I couldn't find it. If you are complaining about a trading course and don't know basic concepts, I repeat myself, do not even try scalping, that is not for you. You have so much to...

    Roulette is predictable

    Games at casinos are not fair. Simple and obvious, but still we have to remind it to gamblers from time to time. The odds are not in your favour. Do you want to lose everything? Just keep playing, it is a matter of time before you wipe your account...

    Anyone have any experience with "Landshark Capital"

    Those parameters are always based on the market's volatility. If you set your limits on stone they will not work as you are expecting. 4 points might be ok for a slow market but try to scalp with that during the rush hour on ES, you will be stopped most of the time. You said that you got down...

    "Technical Analysis Doesn't Work... TA Sucks", you say?

    Good point, still those $2 seem to be a bottom for the whole market. Now is when I enter at 2 and it goes to -10 , I can see it happening to me :D

    "Technical Analysis Doesn't Work... TA Sucks", you say?

    I guess you can always justify any line you draw on a chart, but my point is that you can get to exactly the same conclusion without drawing any line, as you said it is obvious. So in this case TA is just something that you like to add, but it is not needed.

    "Technical Analysis Doesn't Work... TA Sucks", you say?

    I know, I was asking the question to point that those TA lines won't add anything to your analysis. You just know that $2 is a price that you will be willing to take, like everyone else. And you know that by looking at the past behavior of the market. That's it.

    "Technical Analysis Doesn't Work... TA Sucks", you say?

    What if we remove TA all together and ask ourselves a simple question? Gas will never be free (0), so is it 2 the point where everyone thinks that is really cheap so it is a strong support for the whole market? I think it is, from what you are posting. Now, what are your TA lines doing?

    I'm seriously thinking of giving up on technical patterns.

    27 years of trading 10 years of backtesting It will be hard to find someone with that background that hasn't either quit or found an edge already. Would you share the specifics of those patterns that you are sure that don't work? Since you are not willing to share your hard earned strategy...
