I made no call. Simply asked a question. You apparently don't read well.

If that' what you believe, you're literally FULL OF CRAP!

Disagree. You're advocating that the person who got the benefit of the debt and spent the money is absolved from the responsibility of repaying the debt... and involuntarily forcing the payment of that debt upon somebody else who did NOT receive the benefit of spending the borrowed money...

Revenooers will do what they're gonna do.... often trying to "protect investors from themselves".. assuming we are stupid and innatentive. Until they decide on changes, if any, keep trading them as you will... always congnizant of the "leverage factor". Keep in mind that many brokerage houses...

ABSOFRICKINLUTELY! KISS, as always.

I don't know what you mean by "trade static". I don't trade "pre-determined levels", if that's what you mean. I trade "chart indicated", as should everyone. Of course I have draw downs... just try to keep them minimized. Overnight? Depends upon the margin I have for futures. Overnight is...

LOL! You aint' HFT. That's an exclusive, expensive club... and you ain't in it.

Nanni?

Exactly what you should do! Nothing else.

That's BULLSHIT! you can make a THOUSAND PERCENT RETURN on a tiny amount of money... big deal... if you lose it all, it doesn't mean anything to you. Risk significant money.. like "all of what you've got + all of your mother's money"... and if you lose it all "you and your mom will be living...

Well, you tell me. Can you really "jump through hoops to save a tic"? I dunno, never tried. Figured getting my play right was waaaaayyyy more important and bigger than gnashing over the minutiae of "the fill". (I know of this because I once missed a $600K move by missing the buy price by...

Oh gee... that's news. Somebody wants "too much" for little input. :)

True, but (1) you really can't avoid it, and (2) insignificant compared to what you are playing for.

If commish has a significant impact on your P/L, you're doing it wrong.

The ES is "too noisy" to be concerned about "2 tics". You should have the mind set of "trying to risk a few points (not tics)" to make 3x or 4x of what you risk... something like "risk 4 to make 12 or more".... or even better, "risk 4 for 24".

Not only "first"... but KISS, ALWAYS!

EXACTLY THE POINT! Proper trading is like counting cards in black jack. As a card-counter, you KNOW when the deck is in your favor... and that's when you bet. Doesn't promise you'll win on the next bet... just that the odds are in your favor at that time and you know it. Rinse and repeat.

Doesn't mean you do it every year. Doesn't mean it was "easy". I've trade a long time and have made >50% in a year only 4 times. (And I'm smarter than the average duck. Don't believe it, just ask me.) :)

Damned incite-full of you! :)

Disagree. If "50%" were easy, lots/everybody would be doing it. The market gives plenty of opportunity to make a "modest" return. It does NOT easily give the opportunity for "50%".
