I dislike politics tremendously, but it's something we have to put up with. I don't play biotech stocks so I have no opinion about them. Regarding medicare for all would not work and eventually be disbanded just like Obama Care. There are not enough physicians in our country to handle medicare...

The OP needs to address the issue of what type of order was entered and for what market. It's possible the same experience could have occurred elsewhere.

What type of order and market were you trying to trade?

A few comments from Nassim Taleb on Garch. For silver, in 46 years 94 percent of the kurtosis came from one single observation. We cannot use standard statistical methods with financial data. GARCH(a method popular in academia) does not work because we are dealing with squares. The variance of...

Injured parties do typically file civil lawsuits, which won't allow him touch any assets. When people do things like this they're finished, he won't be able to reap rewards for such behavior. The reason why these things take so long is because they leave nothing to chance and make sure there's...

I doubt very seriously this guy gets to keep any funds. He was convicted of a crime in Federal Court and that court imposed what they could against him. But now he will have to deal with all of the Federal and State Agencies that will come swooping in to seize everything else now that he is...

I think it's a done deal. But both parties are being very quiet about it, so I can't be absolutely sure. The only information I received from TDA was that no changes would be likely occur until June 2020.

My thoughts are what is the risk/reward of buying shares? If it goes bust so what, no surprise, but what if it doesn't?

Great! Happy for you!

There's all kinds of news that comes out routinely from any number of sources. Getting hammered on a trade sucks, but the reality of it is, anytime you enter these markets you are playing with fire, you either have to accept the risk or not participate.

I'm sure their are exceptions but in the majority of the cases non-competes are not enforceable. A company attorney may try to bully or intimidate you but that's usually what it comes down to. I speak from experience from dealing with one of those high flying attorney's from Chicago who tried to...

Couldn't agree more...I think many individuals like to use the term hedge as a big ego boost for themselves or to impress others.

I'll pay a higher transaction fee for the safety and security of my funds. Besides if you do enough business and have a significant amount with a firm like TD Ameritrade, you can negotiate those fees down. Some of these smaller firms are very vulnerable, can be here today and gone tomorrow. No...

I agree, and it's just a matter of time before they dismantle TOS and eliminate any futures or forex trading.

What was interesting for me is that it hit an intraday resistance level on a certain chart I use and then went right down to a Daily support level and bounced right back up. After that I thought well nothing to do now until the report comes out. So now if it breaks 37.50 or 28.50 it should be a...

Do you really think a true Professional is going to consider anything you have written in the original post? I'm flying in a developer this week at the cost of $250/hr and then all expenses, flight, meals, hotel, transportation for 3 days. This individual has done excellent work for me in the...

Not sure about scaling out, yes 5% is too much risk. You can backtest but the results can be misleading.

Too much risk to begin with...Have you done any real time trades with real money on the line?

After opening and funding an account, then getting all of the approvals to trade any market I want, one of their brokers scheduled a one on one seminar with a staff member to cover every aspect about the TOS platform and answer any questions that I had. And of course now I can contact that...

IB has always been about getting their vig off of your dollars and they do that by increased margin rates. Also it does help them protect themselves from "rogue trading", but that isn't much of an issue nowadays because technology allows them to monitor everyone and liquidate anyone who violates...
