    if i had 10 cents for every arb I've seen...

    Not necessarily. You need a niche that you can exploit for more than your costs are for doing it. If you can get a comsumer loan for 2% which you convert into ETH, stake that for a 4% yield and hedge the position with a futures contract at a 2% premium, you don't need a prop shop for doing so...

    if i had 10 cents for every arb I've seen...

    Ok, first of all just discard anything posted by @JackMorgan The guy has no clue and all he does is brag and shitpost. He couldn't execute an arb even if you wrote him a detailed manual. If he had 10cents for every arb he's seen that he was to dump to exploit he'd probably have 1$. Second...

    Edge or Luck?

    The mindset of a loser. If you lose 11$, you lose 11$ not 1$ There is no such thing as playing with the houses money. 100% luck OR he picked lotteries with a positive expected value.

    How to trade like a retarded genius - an actual strategy that works

    that again is utter BS. You don't need liquidity and you don't need a lot of trades. You need to be the liquidity others execute against because then you set the price Why would you prefer a random price movement over a a position that is worth 200.000 US which you can get for 190.000? Are you...

    How to trade like a retarded genius - an actual strategy that works

    you. are. not. a. multi. billion. fund. Repeat that every time you switch on your computer. Write that down and stick it to the wall where you can see it when you're trading. A multi billion fund employs a horde of the best analysts and has their ears everywhere, you have not and that's why...

    How to trade like a retarded genius - an actual strategy that works

    That's how you properly dunk on someone, that loser @JackMorgan should write that down as an example. Really, I had a good laugh XD But you know, when markets are slow I'd sometimes like to drop some wisdom for other guys instead of just shitposting

    How to trade like a retarded genius - an actual strategy that works

    thats so much BS. Really, I'm not interested in a pissing contest here but betting on intraday direction in the most competitive market with the most crossflows you can find in any market is definitely the road to ruin for retail. Pick a niche market that nobody cares about, learn it inside out...

    How to trade like a retarded genius - an actual strategy that works

    I'm not saying that this is easy. But you have to decide whether you want to be the customer in the big boys casino or if you want to be the casino yourself. The moment you stop gambling on price action and start to properly evaluate risk premia or mispricings you will arrive on the other...

    How to trade like a retarded genius - an actual strategy that works

    how do you come to the conclusion that you will be moving markets once you're the biggest trader in an asset class? Does Blackrock move the markets? They have a share in the majority of the worlds equities. Does Citadel or Renntec move the markets? They probably do the most volume out there...

    to spline or not to spline, that is the question

    oh, sorry for being a dick here, but this is an important detail: the 0.5 delta strike is never the underlying price. It moves further upwards the higher volatility and the more expensive the forward is.

    Way to suspend open orders when buying power drops below a level

    To be honest, once your buying power is not sufficient to support your orders, they should be cancelled automatically unless they are reducing your position.

    What is borrowing fees ?

    ok that sounds interesting. That must mean that someone is paying you to take their stock out of their hands. Which broker do you have your account with?

    What makes BTC good for trading?

    - Futures and options are very liquid (crypto native derivatives, not the useless trash on the CME) - banking (borrowing/lending) is accessible for retail meaning you can lend your own holdings and receive interest - the entire ecosystem is a meme stock on steroids 24/7/365 so there is always...

    What is borrowing fees ?

    you're not paid a rebate to short a stock, you're either paying a borrow fee or nothing for borrowing. Receiving interest on your credit balance is not the same as a borrowing fee

    What is borrowing fees ?

    If you want to sell something that you don't own, you have to borrow it from someone. Of course borrowing is not free so you have to pay a fee for that which is the borrowing fee. It doesn't just apply to hard to borrow stocks but to every stock you want to borrow for shorting. The less of a...
