I would suggest adding AUM very slowly. I have seen traders with great track records, and yet they grew AUM too fast and game over.

Indeed. I am admit it! @Overnight You are a good spirit helping everyone here, and sharing your personal experience. To the OP: if you have the fear of $10 the market is going to be an expensive tutor. as @Overnight said, just pay it. You will have much larger concerns as far as exposure.

Is it Tuesday already? Mondays are hard.

Yes, it is possible on the R Trader platform by Rithmic. You can specify a specific time for execution.

Telling an overweight person he should diet, might not work, but isn't it exactly what he should do? There are many reasons that people get to be overweight, and it could range from bad habits, personal trauma or physiological and hormonal changes. But, in the final analysis, only proper diet...

You can develop a long term view on an index (albeit it's difficult), but you need to also develop a risk management program that is quite technical in nature. Leveraged products are hard to trade fundamentally unless you are well-capitalized and have truly know how to interpret overwheling and...

Quite often the solution is in the problem, and in this case, it's your discipline. The story around about your exceptional IQ does not matter. After many years in this business, I would tell you this: I would let an ex-marine handle my money before a quant. Just letting you know how much...

You are right. Typically, S/L orders work do not require limits on Futures. However, I would just make a small reminder that you need to place GTC (Good-Till-Canceled) in case you are not a day trader. If your orders do not have a GTC, they get canceled at the end of the day session.

When he bought it at 25 in 2017, it sank at some point below 5 bucks. I doubt he held it. The day Snapchat went public, the volume on Robinhood went up 50%. It tells us exactly who are the demographics of the purchasers (average age of Robinhood users is very young). The "revolution" of...

Demographics.

I hope that the back offices of these brokerage and the exchnages are organized enough to get what they deserve.
