the problem here is that trading is not a job. trading is like sucking in mom's tit even though you no longer an infant. especially if haven't accomplished anything meaningful in your professional career yet. trading is only emotionally and socially viable for those that have already done their...

spelling... "their motto"

impossible, obama is backed by wall street. any attempt to pull that off would face stiff opposition by the big banks while would shift most of the trading oversees, such as to uk, dubai or honk kong. charging FTT only to small traders, while leaving big fish exempt doesn't make any sense as...

i now realize you're the typical multi alias ET troll that don't have anything else to do other than hijacking threads and disinform the readers. keep on with the good work.

market occurrences are fully independent. what IBM stock price has done in the last three days is irrelevant. i am not going to discuss statistical irrelevant samples. just come back with a sample of +5000 price points and let me know how you uncovered price dependency there? then we'll use you...

no autocorrelation whatsoever, especially in shorter time frames. in wider time frames, i.e. multi year, you can see autoregression due to known externalities, such as inflation, quantitative easing, survivorship bias, etc. looks like you still have a lot to learn.

in trading, market occurrences are fully independent from each other, which, i know, is quite the opposite the common perception. the only visible, sustainable, non-random pattern is the autoregressive nature of volatility, which cannot be used in a betting system to maximize positive...

blackjack or any other game of that sort or trading is pretty much the same, as far as expectation is concerned, that is, negative expectation. betting strategies don't alter the expectation of the game. the only way to make money in the long run, is by reverting the built in negative...

hmmm looks like many dont know what expectancy is about. say, in blackjack, if you're NOT counting cards, you've negative expectancy, while the house has positive expectancy. if you're counting cards, then, you reverse the roles, thus the player reading cards has positive expectancy and...

i am able to trade it right now (UK CFD) and it is quoting 5 handles down as i write this. so, what's your take?

all i said was options are priced for perfection and complex exotics required further hedging because the asymmetrical payout scheme they provide, hence market makers have to increase their margin (bid ask spread) on those products. hence, expectancy, ceteris paribus, is always better (yet...

what your take on the ES when CME reopens? i am able to add positions OTC and currently the future is trading just 5 handles below the friday's close? what say you?

i think this guy believes that market makers are in the business of giving money away to option traders... look, the more complex the exotic option is, the more margin the market maker has in it, as complexity implies additional trades to balance out its greek exposure, in order words, it is...

markets will be closed not only physically but also electronically too and tomorrow might well be the same thing. that's why cme is halting futures trading.

well i am not surprised mr hershey dropped by, to talk about his schizophrenic understanding of the trading world. the topic OP has raised is meritless and completely off base in the context of a formal doctoral program at any serious university... a phd in trading? gimme a break. you...

the sheep is always wrong.

I am adding at these levels, this is a 14PE stock growing earnings at 20-30% p.a., with a huge IP portfolio and exceptional customer loyalty. it is a relatively safe bet, given the risk to reward payout laid down at the current FMV. in addition, AAPL missed earnings expectations last quarter...

on a serious note, i believe fb board will agree to an offer to be acquired in the next two to three years by an IT major, i.e. apple, ibm, msft, orcl or goog. most probably, price will be in the $10s area because the company still has a rich valuation now and they don't have any substantial...

yeah most cockroaches in NYC have accounts too. it looks like there is only a handful of humans signed up there.

cut the crap, is not an interview in the sense you allude to. it is an interview/examination of skills that upon approval will lead to become funded by the company. the company is not a charitable entity, so they charge an examination fee to filter out the wannabe and offset the costs of...
