And your etiquette and civility speak for you as an individual in volumes.

I look at in the same way. The earlier comment on "inner demons" was a good one, because trading will reveal them, and right quick. And we all have them. But honestly ... I'm appreciative for what trading has done for me as a person. Trading profitably, means for me, that in many ways I have...

Well, it might help your 'cause' if it was calling them for what they are doing, and learn proper market terminology It's not an 'HFT gang'. Every human on this planet that executes trades in the West uses the same algo's once the market is made, and a trade is executed. HFT is great. But is...

It never ceases to amaze me how many people will spend so much of their lives just worrying about what might happen, but has never happened yet, and looks unlikely to happen. F E A R And to want to spend so much of their time in anxiety of things that never happen. It's almost exhausting to...

This is something I've discussed publicly a bit in the past. A) You need side income. You really do. As you no doubt have experienced, you can be a profitable trader, but you do not use your portfolio or account for income. It's just not a good idea with a sub 2 million dollar account. You...

Ah yes ... Waking up in the morning with the acrid smoke of burning rubber in your lungs. That was great stuff.

Getting shaken down by Policia Estatal Estado De Mexico going into Zumpango. Yeup. Been there, done that. Looked into it before I lived in Mexico ... as far as taxes. Ran across a Tax Law Firm that stated that even renouncing your citizenship won't do it many times for quite some years. And...

Yeah, there's that too. Lord if that isn't one of the biggest myths out there. Knight Capital for the win. LOL

Because it's not true. Markets will act differently, at different times. Thus, we can use either a "directional" method. This is "buy low / sell high" "sell high / buy low" or a non-directional method, or what we refer to as "delta neutral". So ... in 2014 in the Spoos (SPX) it would have...

A decent broker feed? Don't most link the news now? Heck, doesn't even Google Finance do it?

ROFLOL ... You don't know who I am I take it ... Hehehe ... it is sorta cute in a way ... Wweally? ROFLOL Pwease tell me mohr!! You mean ... the price has to CHANGE?!?! What a concept! LOL Sigh, why not, I'll try to help out. This is so patently false ... it sounds like something an...

It's all a mute point, since no matter where you live in the world, a United States citizen has to pay income tax, no matter where his money is, and the income is taxed from wherever it comes.

Sharpe is fine, when understood in context. It's not poor, it just has to be taken for what it is. A lot of guys I know prefer Sortino. Doesn't punish upside volatility.

Thanks. Yeup, still around. Not as active any longer on the public route, but still around.

I'm not talking about the money to be made for the individual. I'm talking about the liquidity in the system.

Uhm ... No. Liquidity drying up that fast would take everything down so hard, we might as well just call a do-over and go back to 1903 Myself, I find the markets incredibly fair here in the West. Other people pull bullcrap. That's on them. I do right by me, my trades are executed so much...

That's so well said I want to frame it. Myself, I keep freakishly miticulous records. That in essence, becomes my trading log. Spreadsheets I go through each Friday evening, and I compile my numbers. Teaching helps improve me as well. The numbers, become my guide and I always credit...

Exactly. Markets are always markets.
