    Rookie Trader Racked Up $700K In Debt

    You realize he is dead now, right? You realize a mother and father lost their son here, correct? This is tragic, have some compassion. He was a human being, let him RIP.

    Question about my 65% win rate and 1-1.5 RR ratio

    Hundreds is not a lot. Especially if you have only traded with one or two specific market "personalities". Not sure how long you have done your strategy for but I am assuming not too long if you only have hundreds of trades (this is why I assume you have only traded in one to two market...

    Never trade against the trend

    Please, please keep teaching this. I appreciate how you trend timers create inefficient markets, which the ones who have the courage to think for themselves gobble up, haha.

    I m looking for a mentor

    If I were getting a trading coach I would focus on someone who could help me with managing expectations, risk management, bankroll management, and most importantly, the psychology of the game. I personally could care less if they ever traded a day in their life. If I need to speak to others (or...

    I m looking for a mentor

    Very, very few people will be able to beat the S&P 500 on a risk adjusted basis over a multi-year period. There are almost no gurus and not many more elite traders. Beating the market on a risk adjusted basis takes years and years of research, lots of psychological pain (and growth), and if you...

    Why trading educators talk about entries 95% of the time?

    There are plenty of great setups, but a trader needs to find their edge. I don't FULLY agree that the magic is after the entry as my guess is most people's entries are sub par, so most people should still be on Step 1. If someone has not defined what sets them apart from other traders, then they...

    Can i Log into IB TWS on from two device simultaneously ?

    Great to hear you can login from 2 different devices at once, I didn't realize that. Chat support told me without 500K I always need my phone to login so if I lose it to call them, :rolleyes:. The person said there were no devices available for under 500K accounts. It sounds like this may not...

    Can i Log into IB TWS on from two device simultaneously ?

    I didn't think you could ever login from two devices at the same time, but perhaps with the security card you can. As an FYI, you do need an account value of 500K+ for the security card.

    POLL : Which IB template you use? CLASSIC TWS or MOSAIC ?

    I think I'm doing it wrong. I started with IB just a couple of months ago and the learning curve on Mosaic was not fun. I finally learned how to easily place OCO orders, among many other basic things in my setup, but it certainly took an investment of time. Sounds like Classic was the easier...

    Selling Future Options - Impact of Exercise

    Thank you. Do you know how they handle sold options if someone chooses to exercise or if a sold option is ITM at the option expiration date? Thanks.

    Selling Future Options - Impact of Exercise

    OK, got it. So on the long side there is no fear of delivery. That makes sense. What about shorting the options. Can someone exercise the option before the fact and force the seller to deliver contracts or does that just make no sense that someone would exercise? Also, what if I shorted puts and...

    Thanks for the reply. I'm referring to options on silver futures. Not sure if there is another silver futures, but I was thinking about SI.

    Selling Future Options - Impact of Exercise

    Hi. I have a basic question on how selling calls and puts work when exercised, specifically as it pertains to futures. If I sell a call or put option I understand that the option needs to be closed out prior to settlement to avoid delivery. Could someone confirm this? Now, what happens if a call...

    COVID-19: I’m Treating Too Many Young People for the Coronavirus

    How surprising....a western medical doctor spewing fear and ignorance without any facts to back him up whatsoever. They should lose their license for their ignorance, but they never do. I just choose to make healthy decisions so I don't need to get near their ignorance. Why is it that doctors...
