    Honda/Toyata all-electric vehicles? TSLA competition...

    You'll get a pretty biased opinion from a dealership. TSLA is bypassing the dealership model and using online sales only. No haggling with a dealership on price. Same for everyone. That's business away from dealerships so they're not too happy with TSLA. ICE was in denial about EVs but they're...

    Pattern Recognition -- Any Good?

    Do patterns repeat? Is it all random? If you spend enough time in this thread (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=420159), I think you'll see that patterns DO repeat and it's NOT all random. That thread & author are very controversial but if you focus on his material I think you'll...

    Bull Call Spread

    I don't use Thinkorswim but "max profit" = "net profit". They get "max profit" the same as example I used above. Post the trade you used to get your example if you want an explanation.

    how can I fill at bid and ask while not alone?

    If your strategy edge is so small you need the spread, might want to modify the strategy? Unless you're a HFT, spread shouldn't be so important to P/L IMO.

    GUNS!

    We had a about 10 muzzle loaders we used for target shooting. Flintlock the most difficult (hard to keep focus after the puff of smoke in front of face) though none were too accurate, or maybe it was the shooter. :p

    Texas Church Gunman Killed in 6 Seconds

    Too many guns isn't the problem IMO. I grew up around guns my whole life and only recently (last 7 years) have I ever felt I "needed" to be careful about living in a community where I might get shot. IMO, it's the type of people in certain areas that have a certain "lack of respect" for human...
