"What do you guys think is easier (easier to learn, less risk, more profitability etc.) to trade?" 100% Options is harder than futures, there are a ton more variables to learn/watch and the spread/liquidity can be terrible especially in volatile times. But because of it having more options, you...

Assuming that is all to it, this is pretty much speculation. Just because something made lower lows or higher highs doesn't mean that will continue. Not saying you can't make money speculating but just not my cup of tea. Best of luck, I think its required with a strategy like this. However...

Yea I think the closest thing is to look at the current 50 delta option and then set a sell trigger when it hits that 50 delta option strike price. However, I dont use IB so unsure if they have it, IB does have very attractive margin interest rates tho, Anyone knows if those apply to stock...

This sounds like it will just leave you net short the other stocks you didn't long in the dow index, as obviously the longs will be canceled out as you are shoring them in the dow index. Also as far as the dividend yield its price in the stock, so normally when the dividend is paid out, the...

The cash session has better spreads due to arbitrage with the underlying stocks. I personally wouldn't trade that thing during cash close

yea if you are good at deciphering unusual options activity then its amazing. As they say, "follow the money" :D But seriously, I would rather risk money based on the fact that if im wrong, someone is going to lose a ton more than me. Unlike using just TA where if you're wrong, nothing else in...

Fundamentals and game theory. If possible, relative value too

There is different kinds of C waves, which is why I dont really rely only on EW. It can be a truncated C wave in which case GE goes up. Or the more common "zig zag" correction in which case c wave dips below A wave in which case $5 is on the table

I just hope there is some liquid options on this.

Your count would be invalid because wave 4 can not retrace passed wave 1 This would be my count, Now I would never take a trade just based on EW. but it seems $5 range is on the table

People with information overload do not have a profitable system. Once you find a profitable system that you KNOW works then "information overload" should end, unless of course you are a masochist in which case maybe try therapy. But seriously, I used to have 50 tabs open too, why? I had no...

I like spread trading the indicies but just got to be cognizant of the underlying, like 5 stocks in the YM and NQ make up around 50% of the entire index. Curious how you are calculating the spread? you mention 2 NQ for 3 YM. Is that just the notional value? the micros could probably get that a...

Sorry but you are wrong, wealth comes from how much you make. As you can only save 100%, you can make 1000%+ Thus its wise to spend the majority of your time on making money and only a small amount on saving.

Its great there is more competition but we need that in futures so we can finally get free commission future brokers

Interesting, my thoughts are as interest rates drop, obviously banks profit margins will drop too. So im guessing they need to cut cost and cutting speculative traders seems like the way to go. Also volume in the markets seems to be low so im guessing they can't put on the size they need...

Both insured up to $1 million Put a milly in both and retire, that would be the most risk adverse & conservative plan ever lol But in all seriousness, there is a 100% bet going on that the FED cut rates next weeks, these rates will fall with it.

Could you share your discount and last 30 day volume that got you said discount? I am surprised TD still did not lower commission for micros $2.25 per side and that doesn't include exchange fees is ridiculous

The gov investigate them? CME/ICE duopoly is clearly the gov puppet to limit up/down the market whenever they want. That is why there is no competition as competition would remove gov control. With stocks/options there are FREE commission brokers. There should be free future commission brokers...

There is a free Master of Science, financial engineering program here https://wqu.org/programs/mscfe Get this and your CFA and you should be able to stand out. Maybe write a blog too to show you're knowledgeable and maybe you have to start off interning, however, a job should be more probable...

hmm not sure if the reset happens till the next day? As far as funded trader, Kris, curious if you know if his orders show up in the live dom? and does he have explanation for why speedup took 9 weeks to pay! that is terrible
