The consideration of Price action, free of all indicators or other philosophies mentioned above, is not included in the definition for purposes of this thread. This seems to be one of the few ways that many successful traders use that actually works. As alluded to above, most technical...

That is actually a very good question. I get the feeling by reading these forums that most traders here at the moment are trading counter-trend strategies, at least in regard to nyse/naz stocks. That seems to be what the current market environment favors. By contrast, during the boom and bust...

Who Had A Tough Time Today? My Internet service was down all day. Thanks, Mediacom!

Ask a lawyer, but I think you have to exhaust all adminstrative remedies first. That means following through with the grievance process and getting a hearing from your regulatory agency.

The actual penalties are treble damages and jail time, and the accounting they can use to determine illegal profits is draconian - they don't let you deduct losses, so if you bought and sold a stock twice on inside information, making hypothetically $1,000 on the first trade and losing $900 on...

It's easy until you get caught and sent to Club Fed. Was there a way to sniff this out through technical analysis and go along with the insiders without actually knowing anything? How have other options performed in the days after a suden 8x surge in volume? The article keeps talking about...

How does Maverick run a prop firm and claim that 'the equity game is dead' at the same time? Is it a futures prop firm?

Which puts more wear and tear on an LCD monitor, turning it off and on 10-15 times a day, or leaving it on all day?

Well said. Looking at a simple chart should yield the same information to a practiced eye.

Yeah, how are derivatives not zero-sum?

just graduated from college with a degree in finance Your options depend upon your grades and the prestige of your school. If you got Cs from a mediocre state school, then you are giving up less by not getting a 9-5. For an Ivy League grad, it's a different story.

haha, we are all outsiders competing with insiders. That goes for any financial market. Does insider option trading, assuming it exists as described in the OP, not leave tracks on the tape? Tape reading is not competing with insiders; it's trying to follow them. If the theory of corruption...

Regardless of how the system should be, if call volume surges before big deals are made, doesn't that make for good trading for the traders who buy into the option volume surge? I have never traded options, but if the article is true, then it should be simple to see the insider action within...

Financial stocks were all way down this afternoon.

Trading was more fun from an office than it is turning out to be from home. But I would never open an office and have other traders 'under' me if I were not very profitable myself. Trading with a computerized system, how much work do you put in each day? If you have to monitor the market...

I have heard mixed reviews about the performance of the turtles (and the market wizards) after the books were published.
