That’s called an indecent proposal. Either way, I wouldn’t place that much value on one vagina, when I can have a bunch of vaginas for the same price, and potentially all at once :)

Yes. That’s the idea. Take long-term trend following, or even swing trading for example. By the time you gather enough samples to build statistical confidence, you’ll be taking a dirt nap. The goal of trading IMO is not to grind away at it your entire life, but to exploit anomalies, and...

Systematic all the way. If I knew with 100% certainty that I could quadruple returns at discretionary level, I still wouldn’t do it. The stress isn’t worth it. Beyond the mental toll, I’d have the insides of an 80 year old by the time I’m 50.

Exactly. Ranges and volatility change, and I assess every month. The variations I choose many times are identical month to month, and if not, they don’t drastically differ. I don’t have a need to store over six months historical data, and only collect real-time data

Sure. As much as I can. While I actually trade monthly, what I perceive to be the most optimal inputs for my algorithms, using my pricing model, I simultaneously run thousands of trade simulations across multiple instruments and time series. I choose the most optimal variation at discretion to...

Not HFT, but frequently trade on same instrument allowing large sample size to analyze. I generally do this monthly in regards to statistical signifigance. Just collect real-time data until that point

Yes. DTN IQFeed. No more than 6 months back, but high trade frequency and sample size. All intraday

Go to Southern Albania. Tirana is nice. Nowhere else in Europe will you see so many beautiful women for such low cost of living. It’s perfectly safe.

Most people think the grass is greener somewhere else. It's one big fallacy. Wherever I roam, there is a six foot hole waiting for me, whether it's in Iceland or Fiji. I always prioritize lifestyle over location. Might buy me some time.

You forgot to add one complex variable. It’s called volatility. Not that simple, as it constantly grinds away at your win rate.

You don’t truly know a woman until you get rid of her. Don’t kid yourselves :)

I’d stick with Vienna, or perhaps even Switzerland if possible, but its pricey.

Anytime you hear guarantee in this business, run the other way. The OP can guarantee you a big fat shit with 100% certainty.

My opinion. Read a Playboy instead

Maybe you misread, but I meant a variation of my intraday system to swing trade options. I’d never trade options intraday, especially on stocks. It’s hard enough to generate alpha (after slippage/commission) on the underlying.

No options. Trading momentum pockets in mid-large cap stocks, primarily around news/high volatility cycles. As an experiment, I recently morphed my pricing model, and algo, to backtest trades (big caps) that enter at start of month and exit (OCO) based on multivariable R:R levels, or time stop...

I know for a fact, with my approach, the opportunity cost in the form of missed trades outweighs cost of filtering trades toward midpoint. Tried it years ago. You’re not the only retail trader with this brilliant idea. It’s a pay to play game, and you’re playing in someone else’s backyard. Don’t...

I’m with @qxr1011 on this one. A retail trader getting filled at midpoint usually means an instrument crossed that price point and is retracing opposite of intended direction. Also, a retail trader usually won’t get filled at midpoint if price is moving fast into intended direction. This is...

Calling bullshit on this. You can’t legally execute a new lease without a finalized eviction.

Without the need for speed, I’d have zero desire to implement algos. All my calculations are done real-time on portfolios
