August 21, 2020, 5:23 PM EDT Dear Fed, Hey there! It’s me, the stock market. I know it’s weird to write you like this, but I felt like I needed to drop a quick thank-you note for everything you’ve done for me this year. I mean, your big ol’ balance sheet is almost $3 trillion larger since...

lindq is right that options stops placed with your broker can execute poorly. I use mental stops especially with spreads and close out with a manual limit order.

Justrade hinted at it but I'll spell it out. GSX is $87.50 right now. By your description if you open a spread by selling the Sep 18 70p and buying the Sep 18 60p the credit will be $160 (I get a slightly different number but close enough) and the collateral is $1000. So, yes, technically the...

If you take the trade and get stopped out, how much will you lose and what percentage of your $2000 is that?

Don't you guys have a containment board for this shit instead of cluttering up the rest of the site? ====> https://www.elitetrader.com/et/forums/politics.27/ ====> https://www.elitetrader.com/et/forums/politics.27/ ====> https://www.elitetrader.com/et/forums/politics.27/

Bitmex works with Sierrachart.

Bizonacci was a legend. Wherever he is I hope he Made It™

Between deliberate practice and Anki, the sky's the limit.

I didn't manage to catch the exact low but I did pick up 1000 shares of SOXL around 125 among some other stuff. Still holding. I'm pretty happy about it.

About 200% (with leverage) on an equity index trend following strategy that trades about 6 times a year. All in/all out each trip. Day trading /ES I usually take on a notional value 1/3 the size of that specific account which is a much smaller fraction of overall net worth, although the amount...

Holy shit LOL

@Sequoia1321 If you keep getting stopped out on the e-mini because your stops are too tight maybe back up and test your entries with a single share of SPY. For obvious reasons, they trade mostly the same during RTH and since you'd be risking a lot less, you can try different entry strategies...

It's profoundly straightforward with the most rudimentary understanding of how spreads work. You sell one thing and buy another. On the chance the short option expires in the money and the long expires worthless, you get assigned the shares then they are immediately sold. The risk is the offset...

Yeah, WSL2 is supposed to be dropping very soon with a huge speed up in disk IO which was a real problem before. I think the new subsystem might have some support for graphical Linux apps too. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it out. Win10 Pro is mostly the same but one thing in...

@HappyTrader I have the same device except I upgraded to the business version with 256GB SSD / Windows 10 Pro and have had a similar experience. I mostly trade futures with the SierraChart software and the experience is virtually indistinguishable from my desktop with an Intel 8700k CPU other...

The following is a funny shitpost I read on another forum. Apparently some people take this stuff quite seriously. Note: this is probably (hopefully) satire.

@KCalhoun I backtest my system to tune my entry and exit variables as precisely as possible then never deviate from that. I never move a stop loss nor take profit and I never take a trade unless the setup is optimal. I don't overtrade because I never trade outside of these principals. Perchance...

"You think I'm gonna read all that shit?" levels of pedantry?, substance-less sophisticated arguing (sophistry) posing as actionable insight?, temerity to step one inch outside of approved opinions, right or wrong? 30 seconds before [flagged][dead], Yep! Must be """Hacker""" """News""". Dang...
