Perfect proof that no one with a real trading method would ever reveal it; it would go with them to their grave. Ergo, ALL revealed methods - including TA - are fake. (Also worth noting: the commonly-held assumption that it can be damaged by even ONE other person knowing it. All the more...

While I wait for the millions of eager TA adherents to send me their hundred bucks and teach me to make billions? The most reliable secret method of all. I hesitate to share it here in public, so lean close and I'll whisper it... (Dice, my friend. I have a pair that came to me from the Roman...

See, that "profit on book sales" bit is the problem with your idea of "regurgitating the same old information". Go ahead and write a book that does so - shouldn't take you more than a year or five - and try to find a decent publisher that will take you on, given that it is regurgitated...

Non-wheel: 10/16/2019 $287.40 NFLX 191018C285/290/P250/255 -$3.22 -$45.00 Out for a small loss; spot was up 2.40 over short call strike 10/16/2019 $283.00 NFLX 191018C320/325/P250/245 $1.42 Earnings play Hmm. I'm doing a lot of "efforting", but not a lot of trading. Looking at possible...

That seems like a rather odd statement. Are you postulating a world-wide cabal of trading textbook authors who have all agreed to lie to everyone? And not a single one will break ranks and give up the True Deep Sekrit of TA knowledge, even though they'd make TONS of money by doing so? (A book...

With that kind of perfect record, you should partner up with somebody who'll take the other side at 10x the volume. Instant millionaires, the pair of you. (I love two-sided markets.)

I think Niederhoffer and Cordier were used as examples of failure rather than recommendations.

Damn. ROKU has been zooming up over 128 and back this morning - which is GOOD news for my short put, but... I wish to hell I was skilled enough to somehow nail that rise down. I know there's got to be something. OK, reviewing what I know (or can figure out from what I know): 1) Roll my short...

$119.20 ROKU 191115C135/205 -$6.32 -$117.00 Closed the 135 call spread, a good bit cheaper than expected. Recalculating from scratch, just to make sure I didn't miss anything: 140-5.4-6.5+0.12+3.37-0.12-3.05+0.09+0.98-6.49-5.15+8.49-5.4+6.32=127.26. Ah, Columbus Day! A bright, cheery holiday...

"But you simply can't deny the correlation!" O-kay, then.

It actually put me in mind of Malevich and his square, or perhaps his "white on white". The ooohs and aaahs of the "technical experts" over the subtlety, complexity, and brilliance of these seem eerily familiar...

And you came here from there. The irony is quite delicious.

For some reason, I just really liked that phrase. :) (No content here; carry on.)

I don't actually have the slightest problem with people doing victory dances, imagining themselves as The Maker of Desolation in the Markets, etc. when they take a profit... the market will humble them quickly enough if they bring any of that silly shit into their trading room. Outside of it...

Keep going; I'm fascinated. Can you let me know when you're about to get to the "save the world and cure cancer" part? I don't want to drop my popcorn. You clearly don't realize this, but you don't sell me an option. Perhaps learning how the market actually works would be useful? Clue: If I...

The fantasy part here is that you know that the prices will continue rising one second after you buy. If you don't think that's prediction, then you need a better brand of dictionary. Since you like simple, I'll make it simple for you: you don't know what the market is going to do to any...

All of which are made to emulate the real thing as closely as possible. The sim environments I've seen for trading are not much more than crude imitations that fail to replicate any of the important aspects. If your initial real-life environment offers any chance of life-altering financial...
