This thread inspired me to try air squats. They are great! I have improvised the standard method by using a lightweight pair of 5lb dumbbells. When I extend my arms on the down movement, the dumbbells help to offset my weight so I can squat lower and keep my balance. These air squats are a...

I have a couple months of product left, so I won't be making a reorder decision right away. I'll look for another no-stim product with same ingredients. But I'm developing a tolerance for the bad taste and can live with it. Just another part of the no-pain, no-gain principle.

I've been using this preworkout powder only a couple weeks, but long enough to provide some initial feedback. First, the company that makes it seems very professional. They have answered questions I sent them quickly and honestly. Regarding the product itself, I mix it with warm water 30 - 45...

Thanks for input. I ordered a couple tubs of this stimulant-free pre-workout supplement as it contains what I wanted (beta-alanine, creatine, taurine) without any caffeine. Good for early evening workouts where caffeine might affect sleep. This brand got good ratings by Labdoor, but...

Any suggestions for a before-workout supplement? I read that beta-alanine and taurine are good. I'm looking for a supplement with both of these ingredients, and preferably not loaded with other things like caffeine, etc.

Thanks for posting this interview (with a link that starts the playback at just the right time). Sosnoff sounds sincere in his conviction. I may also be a sucker for a good con. I wonder if this disconnect is the result of a former pit trader like Sosnoff who tries to transition his...

And that selling premium is not a sustainable strategy. When I first learned about Karen's purported success, I started to doubt some of the wiser voices on this forum who cautioned that naked premium is not a long-term strategy that works. You're essentially selling other trader's stops...

Let me ask a different way ... what is the syntax for search keywords using AND, OR, as well as multiple keywords separated by a space?

Part-time trading is best done on a higher time frame (daily, weekly). Since you will suffer larger drawdowns and losses on a daily time frame than an intra-day trader who is monitoring the market in realtime, your strategy needs to include some form of hedging. Either an explicit hedge or a...

Hi Baron, what is the syntax for logical AND, OR in the ET search box?

And if Brian Hunter got lucky and the trade went his way, he would have been lauded as a great trader without being called out for taking a bad risk.

Oh, that's good. Sometimes it's hard to know to take a post literally or kidding. In any case, I meant what I said. You're one of the "good guys" around here.

Hey Robert, no offense intended. Certain ET members pop into my mind for specific topics. You are a popular and valued member of ET and your posts are always appreciated.

The term structure follows a pretty consistent increase in IV if you look at averages. But the vol curve is flexing throughout the day as demand/supply forces impact prices, so any point-in-time snapshot may show divergences. ET has some members who know this stuff better than anyone...

I haven't looked at the options analysis tools in ThinkorSwim for several years, so I may be out of date on this. But the last time I used it, I noticed the IV was wrong for major equity indexes like the S&P. It was using a model to calculate IV instead of the actual figures, so it missed the...

No, Modern Trader focuses on the retail trader. It contains a lot of articles covering very basic market mechanics and trading strategies, along with ads for luxury items that probably make the readers feel special. The publications focused on pro traders are the institutional magazines...

That's deep. Thanks for contributing your keen insights.

I think the biggest misconception is statistical, not mathematical. Forecasting with classical technical analysis assumes that prices (the time series of price) are sufficiently deterministic to be predicted. This is false.

Assuming you're unmarried and willing to trade this intra-market Mar/Apr NG spread, how would you hedge against an adverse move? Options?

Excellent point. Most failures are thermal related.
