there is no such thing as the overnight market in gold, my man. It´s a 24/7 market for about 10 years already. Just because the sun is not shining in Burgerland doesn´t mean people are not trading gold :)

Rest in peace, NPh

if you're just trading 5-10k you can absolutely reach that kind of performance. Low capacity strategies usually have a good yield

I'd say low double digit monthly returns and a sharpe above 3 is desirable. Anything less than 100% p.a. and sharpe below 2 doesn't cut it

That it takes at least 5 years to get really good at it and that those 5 years will probably be the worst time of your live. Make it 10 if you don't have a mentor....and most blow up in year one

No, I trade mostly exotic trash, never liked treasuries (too much competition) and recently got back to STIRs since I liked to trade them before ZIRP. From the top of my head I think I have close to 50 active and inactive brokerage and clearing accounts, for SOFRs I'm using Britannia and I...

I use Koyfin plus tradingview when I really need charts. Other than that I found twitter (or X) the best source for news. https://piqsuite.com/ is on the list for testing since Elon is messing up the bird and I'm looking for at least a backup

Unless you're a paid shill, just don't pay for this bullshit. Google volume profile and you will find everything there is to it online for free.

what are you guys talking about? Are you really comparing FX - Dealers with shithole bucket shops and trader funding programs? These are two entirely different businesses. Banks are making markets around a global asset portfolio with more or less fixed profit margins derived from regulation...

when your stop gets hit it was a fake breakout

Forget it. You have no clue and no edge and that's the reason why you're not making money. Working on your mental at this point only brings you closer to failure

you mean the firm that is run by two guys in NYC...one of the guys wrote two books and looks like brainy smurf?

you probably traded a good portion of your portfolio against me my friend. Glad to hear that my customers are happy

sorry about your losses

I highly second that. I would even say that knowing the difference between value and price is such a required skill that 90% of traders do not know. And it doesn't matter if you evaluate a business, the micro price in the orderbook or a synthetic forward rate. If you don't buy below value and...

nah, my man. You become MM out of necessity or because you have an infrastructure advantage but believe me, making markets is a pig job

Be very careful with this trade, IMHO the POS update triggered a regime change in ETH. Instead of being a speculative/momentum asset ETH became a yielding asset, so we started to see a index call skew just like we do in ETH. Ppl stake ETH and write calls or collars on it. I don't see those...

A profitable style

exactly that. Imagine you tried to make a market in VIX and every time you get hit you'd have to trade an entire portfolio of options to hedge...you'd get killed in slippage. The other way around, you already have a massive position with thousands of terms and strikes and you have a little...

From my experience you usually don't exclusively quote VIX futures as a solo market. You have an extremely diverse portfolio of different nonlinear instruments that you probably have to hold into expiration and quote VIX around your greek limits. And those limits are derived from your own...
