    "streak" indicator - anyone ever back-test this one ?

    I think that would be called a pattern, not an indicator. Good question about its application on smaller time frames.

    Can someone please explain why this trade is going wrong?

    I have noticed that the spread really widens on some poorly liquid options when the strike price moves away from the underlying rmorse it so right...playing illiquid options is for suckers; stick with options with high volume only

    Is it possible to make >=20% expected geometric mean returns per year with options? Why?

    Buffet does LOTS of selling cash-secured puts on stocks he wants to own. So there is one options strategy. Either he gets the stock he wanted anyway at a juicy discount, or he gets the premium, maybe a tidy 10-20% (annually). Good method for investors who want to load up on dividend aristocrats...

    considering a switch to equities

    I think the props will charge you like crazy but you will get much bigger leverage than 4:1. Unless you are a super day trader, 4:1 is plenty. Plus futures is closer to 30:1, and you will have that available in the same account with IB.

    considering a switch to equities

    I would go with a brokerage that charges little, like IB. I am so happy with the $1 cost to buy 100 or less shares. Some of the volatile triple-leveraged ETFs are almost comparable to futures per leverage, and maybe a bit safer, imo. Take a look at LABD, for instance.

    Is it possible to make >=20% expected geometric mean returns per year with options? Why?

    Your 3. The markets are just people, or computers controlled by people. Are people completely random? If someone yells in a crowded place, "Bomb! There's a bomb here! Everyone get out!" can you predict that people will panic and run? Is that random? So people are not entirely random. Neither...

    How To Spot A Con Man

    I was conned once...guy had laptop computers he was selling out of his trunk that had "fallen off the truck." (I shoulda thought that meant stolen, but wasn't thinking anything except SUPER CHEAP LAPTOPS!). I opened my wallet and said I could only spend $80. Lickity split, he unburdened me of...

    What are your best stock daily trading strategies?

    Go long all-in with deep OTM options with very little time value. Weeklys are best for this secret technique. Buy options with only a few hours before expiration, if you can. Or minutes even. Choose any stock at random; it doesn't really matter. Buy as many options as you can for a buck each. I...

    Why can't I pull the trigger?

    Teach your Dad some trading. Then when you have a good entry, have him click the buy or sell button. That way he blew his own brains out, and you didn't do it to him. That should take a big weight off your shoulders. Just kidding!

    Why can't I pull the trigger?

    But we all have to evolve our own way. You have to grow your own way. I don't want to hamper you if you gotta do pennies or low-volume/high-spread stocks.

    Why can't I pull the trigger?

    Sounds like maybe penny stocks. I hope that is not what you mean. I used to think they were okay, not anymore. Why trade pennies when you can get great bang with 3X ETFs that have big volume? Or if you are trading stocks with really poor volume (and big spreads), that is a problem too...

    Why can't I pull the trigger?

    Who is your broker? You just need to ask them about the odd lots. If it is IB, no prob. PS, what is this pattern that always works? I want to know! Oh, it's secret. I see.

    Why can't I pull the trigger?

    When you say 1-2 patterns, you mean that particular set up, right? With those you need to grab profits fast, it pays a 1 to 1 risk ratio. Is that the one?
