    Never ever come to Kazakhstan if you invest/trade

    I am a little baffled that you didn't plan for this. I'm nowhere as successful as you. However, I do think frequently about which countries have NO CAPITAL GAINS TAX. Any one with a modicum of success thinks about this.

    Never ever come to Kazakhstan if you invest/trade

    Initially, I agreed. Then I said, what about the hugely successful people who trade in competitions like the World Cup, garner recognition, then sell subscriptions to their systems in a leader-follower model? And I disagreed. Then, remembered the people who are in my inner circle and the...

    Serious errors found in RegT margin calculation formulas

    Yes, it is crazy wrong. It's also crazy the benefits that PM gets over Reg-T. And yes, you need well over $125,000 to get PM. The 125K is the minimum. But in actuality, you need about 250K to trade effectively.

    The main reason why doing business with these get-funded programs is a bad idea...

    If you posted this on Reddit or Twitter, the downvotes would exceptionally exceed the upvotes. It's is my firm belief that these funded trader programs are one big money grab. And in the social-media era, their influence will only grow. I won't hide my bias-- I hate these programs. However...

    Using Machine Learning for discretionary trading

    Yeah, AI could learn something as simple as that under a supervised learning model. You simply add another label to the model and give it a classification of 0 or 1. Feed it to the model. And you're done. Well, that's how I think I remember it from a class I attended over two years ago.

    Bitcoin is a "ponzi by proxy"

    Bitcoin is another medium of exchange, because people far powerful than us have deemed it so. It has similarities to the U.S. Dollar once it got off the gold standard and was backed by U.S. Treasuries. But what is U.S. Treasuries backed by? The U.S. Dollar. Does that not appear circular...
