    Anyone think Trump is going to keep pumping the market?

    I was thinking that or at least tax cut 2.0... they will position it, let the dems turn it down and make the dems look like idiots right before the election.

    Anyone think Trump is going to keep pumping the market?

    Joe Biden is way too white and will be 78 in 2020....he won’t drive people to the poles on the left side. Instead of focusing on Russia...a sound candidate would potentially take trump out of office....but that did not happen. I don’t think trump necessarily “wins” the election... I think the...

    Dest's Everything Journal

    I'm starting to see the Light on these Butterflys. It seems like when they go against you, it is obviously not as dramatic as just owning an at the money call outright. So from a risk management perspective.... let's say you have 100k account and you risk 1% per trade... you could easily buy...

    Dest, Awesome Journal, thanks for sharing. I have a question for you... How would you play this Long setup on AMZN? My thoughts are AMZN will retest the 1964 Level within 8 weeks or so roughly. How would you play this, would you mind sharing what you would put on let's say on This Monday...

    When is micro emini available on IB?

    The day Bitcoin futures were launched, was at 20,000. I wonder if the day these micro contracts are launched...

    What's it like to live in Puerto Rico and trade futures and futures options contracts for a living?

    As an alternative, I believe the US Virgin Islands offers the same or similar benefit benefit. Although living down there is like groundhogs day, not a bad place to spend time.

    The Expectations.......

    It could take years to digest that bubble burst... I won't be re-interested in the issue for another 5 years or so. Markets don't just burst and retest highs right away, it takes years to digest. 8800, then the smart money sells or re-shorts in my opinion. But what do I know.

    ES/NQ Trading - looking for solutions

    Trade small Widen out stops - I'm 40 handles in the NQ's Trade with trend (trend reversal is harder to learn in my opinion) Trade less- I only find about 6 opportunities a month in Equity Indexes, but we all trade differently

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    and for the original poster. I listened to an ernest chan interview recently, some notes from a quant: Ernest Chan: · Be prepared for failure · Success is an outlier · Failure is to be expected · Don't quit your day job · 2 years of success before you consider full time · Do not be...

    Demoralized. Is 14 losses in a row normal?

    I am re-optimizing my system at the moment. It's going to take me about 2 months to draw concrete conclusions... what I noticed though: widening out stops by 180% (almost double stop distance) Cut trading size in half production returns/results are almost the same Half commission...

    New York Charges Manafort With 16 Crimes. If He’s Convicted, Trump Can’t Pardon Him.

    I think he would fit the target audience the Democratic party is aiming for. The media keeps putting AOC on TV every single day, I have no other reason to believe that that is not the agenda. Seems pretty obvious to me. But I'm just a middle of the road guy.

    New York Charges Manafort With 16 Crimes. If He’s Convicted, Trump Can’t Pardon Him.

    I guess the democrats are a no brainier then, like Hillary. 2020 will be the best TV in my lifetime. Trump Vs Sanders, it will be like Tyson vs Douglas... epic. I think this is it for me for politics until 2020, I rarely talk about it, not really using time wisely.

    New York Charges Manafort With 16 Crimes. If He’s Convicted, Trump Can’t Pardon Him.

    I live in a very democratic part of the country high taxes, tons of illegals etc (no joking, 1 in 11 households in my town have illegal aliens and the taxes on my home are 18k and continue to rise). I typically don't talk politics, but I am somewhat surprised to hear stereotypical democrats...

    New York Charges Manafort With 16 Crimes. If He’s Convicted, Trump Can’t Pardon Him.

    The problem is, I don't think there is 1 Trump voter that would not vote for him again. Trump voters don't care about Manafort. I would also argue that there is a large division on the left, terrified of the extreme left ideas. Trump should easily win a re-election despite Manafort. I'm not...

    Anyone attending this year's CMT event?

    I'm driving up from Arkansas, I plan on attending. I also plan on pitching my BBQ sauce to some of the local bars and grills. I borrowed my cousins van and plan on hanging out in Kentucky for a couple nights, but after that I should be in the big city on the 4th.

    Potentially dumb Option Question - best bang for the buck

    I understand what you are saying, especially in options with the decay. Averaging in makes sense because 95% of the time the option will go against you 20%.

    Potentially dumb Option Question - best bang for the buck

    Option Attack, thanks for the response So for GLD (instead of GDX) You are saying you would buy: (1/3 position) 123 calls March 15 (1/3 position) 125 calls March 15 (1/3 Positions) 127 calls March 16 An even better example would be GLD, instead of GDX, same date and everything. Buy at...

    Potentially dumb Option Question - best bang for the buck

    I wanted to hear from some of the options players out there. I'm curious how you would play this situation. GDX is the example, let's say on the 2/12, you felt that GDX would rise to 23.00+ before March 15th option expiration. How would you play this? would you just buy out of the money...
