Does going 100% QQQ count as beating the S&P?

From decades of personal trading experience, 64 GB of RAM is not going to help you when the live connection to your trading account is dropped while you are in the middle of a scalp trade. There are too many variables and reasons why a network fails, but it is a certainty for anyone trading at...

With annual spend like that, have you looked into banks like Citi? https://citifx.com/electronic-solutions/citi-velocity-trading.html

If you think your computer is an intraday slot machine, then get a vps instead and you can turn your phone into a mobile slot machine. I got a vps from www.ninjamobiletrader.com and installed ninjatrader, rithmic and sierra charts on it. Now instead of spending time on reddit on my phone while...

All US brokers restricted trading HSI, not just interactive brokers. Here's a notice from AMP: https://support.ampglobal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360061778393-Hong-Kong-HKEX-Trading-has-been-Disabled

I think the Fed being in the driver seat now makes any comparisons to the 2000s irrelavent. In regards to the funds blowing up, once their positions come closer to being fully unwound, it should be a really good buy the dip opportunity.

The latest guest on "Real Time with Bill Maher" was a former head of national cybersecurity and infrastructure, and he said that cryptocurrencies are one of the largest sources of cyber threat because they give more incentive to criminals to be paid anonymously. Basically hospitals, schools...

Sounds like max stability for trading is more important than using it for leisure. If so, I always recommend the vps from www.ninjamobiletrader.com Here's a personal experience story. I'm daytrading ES and use market if touch orders for profit targets and simulated stops for stop losses...

I've been trading with AMP for asian futures the past 2 years and overall happy. For ES, long time ninjatrader user. They finally have ACH w/ philips capital for withdrawals. Their transaction fees are higher than IB, but on the other hand the margin requirements are a fraction of IB so it's...

Yes for automated trading VPS is king, but it's also very useful for discretionary chart trading. The VPS is always on so you can place orders on it without worrying about your home internet connection. For example simulated stop losses and market if touch orders live locally, so if anything...

If you want very low latency, less than 3ms or even 1ms, then the only way to get that it to be located at the same place where your broker is. And pick a broker that is located in the same place as the exchange of the instruments you trade. Only real way to do that would be through a VPS...

I trade as a business so write off alot of expenses against the income. VPS, all tech, subscriptions, home office, insurance for the family (which is around 24k per year). Pretty much everything trading related is expenses through the corp. Especially with insurance it's easy to have over 50k...

I mean investing at the high peak now only for it to not be seen again for decades like Japan. For S&P500, the 750 in 1997 became the floor. Or 1500 peak in 2000, not seen again until 2007, only to drop again and not surpassed until 2013, or a 13 year holding period to breakeven. But unlike...

Doesn't unemployment end eventually? 12 months? 18 months? 24 months? I saw a recent John Oliver clip about how the number actually receiving unemployment is a small fraction of the percentage of people that qualify for it, due to hoops states make people jump through. So given that only a few...

Does it mean you are net short and need to buy it back?

US is an a very lucky geographic position because unlike Japan of the 90s, USA asset price inflation is supported by growing population and access to cheap labor. What other developed countries in the world share a border with a developing nation like Mexico? This is why I don't think USA is in...

300ms is very high. I'd recommend checking out www.ninjamobiletrader.com for a fast 1gbps and 1ms latency vps. I use their chicago vps because I mostly trade CME instruments with philips capital, but they also have NY vps which I imagine would be in the low digits ms for NYSE. Depends on where...

If you're total account balance is swinging from up 10% to down 20%, then you're doing it wrong and will be knocked out of this game soon

It depends on the instrument. The best is to become intimately familiar with the instrument you are trading, and then you will know the best way to trade it

Good luck friend! Very doable.
