sell deep otm puts on something that must mean revert bonus: you don't need to look at this trade all year more risk averse you should trade more frequently. risk = total amount of time overall you are not completely flat. but this one is the simplest and lowest maintenance

low property tax in Fla. too, and if I recall.. pretty good protection for your assets in Fla. - if you declare bankruptcy as well - when I was a kid people would always say.. they cant take your house

Opening an acct w/Interactive Brokers. Will be trading futures, probably some stocks & options as well. I have an LLC (rather inactive however). Tax-wise are there advantages to opening as the LLC vs just a regular acct? Maybe an IRA (gains are tax free), but if the regular futures taxes are...

Looking for a prop firm. I'll take a lower split for a lower commish. US citizen, so I guess I'm stuck with Series 56, contribution & 1 yr. lockup? Suppose I could just get w/IB for 25k in and .0035/.002 with no lockup and SIPC. I can raise the money for a contribution, but I'd rather not of...

Yes, actually. You could argue trying to make a behavioral science out of it is a little pretentious, but reflexivity is just a different word for feedback loop, which we know exists and understanding that gets us out of the 'it cant go any higher/lower' mindset stupidity. The efficient-market...

Any line from Wall Street cause that movie is the truth from beginning to end. More recent - this exchange from Wolf of Wall Street, Mark Hanna: Number one rule of Wall Street. Nobody, I don't care if you're Warren Buffet or if you're Jimmy Buffet, nobody knows if a stock is gonna go up...

OP don't listen to the naysayers if you have an edge rock that s**t if its bogus you'll eventually bust out, fair is fair. How are you earning 200k with free time leftover in the morning to trade? At that income its almost like.. why bother gambling in futures?

Can you recommend a data provider/platform? Here's what I need.. Live quotes Chart Forex or futures against us equities on the same chart.. L2 quotes/depth Programming? Big fan of MT for forex, but can't get stocks in the same feed :( thx!

Would like to hear some useful answers to the OPs question, instead of the inevitable.. "HFT's have ruined it for everybody.." Like it was ever easy.. Trying to make it work with Forex.. Love the MT platform, and leverage, no registration, fund with credit card. Just can't get the same win...

It can work.. The caveat is - you need the positive expectancy to begin with. For instance in flipping a coin, and doubling the bet every time you lose. You may figure based on your bet size and stake that you have until 8 losses in a row until you bust out. People complain about the...

For those that have taken the exam, what's the best study guide and anyone have a free link? Thx!

Any take US citizens?

Have heard about this - casino effs up the math and does a promotion - guys swarm in and rob the place blind til the house figures out and closes it down.. ?

Strange, the idea daytrading is falling off. Where's all the greedy young guys 20-25 who don't want to work for the man these days? Are they just living at home? Please don't say 'the algos killed it', that's bullshit. 'Efficient Market' garbage. Low volatility slows things down, but...

Yea, that's exactly the problem. Maybe find a woman successful trader, get her to fall in love with you. Get the strategy that way! :) Perfect plan.

No, I would consider that. Example, I used to do this thing with a certain pair every day right before the close. I made money about 95% of the time. Over 18 months it grossed me at least 50k, we're talking in about 10 min a day of trading. I did other things during the day, but this was like...

Bust out % doesn't tell you much. Its always going to be very high. 95% fail because 95% of the information out there about how to do this - is lies. I have absolutely no reason to shill but Bright seems like honest guys. He was on here promoting 10 years ago still here and you don't stay...

100-200k a day? Is that all? What the hell was he doing!? I would damn sure be finding out if I was sitting there all day! Seriously if Brights guys are rolling like that I'd like to get out to Vegas soon..

35 cents per 1000 shares is the commission rate?
