Don't you openly say that you get clients from here? At $7,500 a pop, I think you need ET more than ET needs you.

Very nice to see some real stats.

Just the very fact that there is a history of transactions would make me nervous enough. If I knew how a dollar bill traveled around my city for a week, it would be highly informative, even if I didn't know who used the dollar to buy something and who received it as change. A simple search...

From my understanding, the hashtag contains all previous transactions, or something to this effect. This means, to me, that its something like a fingerprint. You have no idea who it belongs to when you find one, but slowly you can start to eliminate potential candidates. The hashtag may one...

Although I'm just casually following this BTC craze, if what I'm reading in the past few weeks about how it is traceable is actually true, then it may very well be that the government is very happy to see its continued use as they build up evidence, especially if its being used mostly for drugs...

Oh I do agree. I'm just making sure I'm understanding both positions properly.

Out of curiosity, doesn't this completely contradict what @Robert Morse just said in this post here? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/a-2-3-correction-could-wipe-out-most-vix-short-sellers.314207/page-3#post-4532348 So on the one hand, you're saying too many people are betting on the...

Am I missing something? Are you using another currency in your day to day transactions?

The thing with BTC is no matter how logical of an argument you can make for it, the US government is the gorilla in the room that can and will squash it when they so choose and it will be end of story. If you don't like it, leave the US! Will the US really allow a form of payment, such as BTC...

You're very welcome. Feel free to send a cheque if it helps you rake it in. :D

Lets also not forget that the money supply has to be increased as the population grows. You can't have more and more people chasing the same amount of dollars from centuries ago. The idea of having a max number of coins that can be mined, as in BTC is nice, but its utility is absolutely...

This part is very interesting to me. Aside from the fact that the premise of the original post is a joke, you would assume that with the FED creating all this money out of thin air would have a negative impact on the USD. The size of the debt should be a problem, but the way the markets are...

Here might be some help. First, I would find it quite difficult to program exactly what you mean by counter-trend. Of course we all have a general idea of what you're looking to do, but given how there is so much mis-information or lack of concrete definition of what a trend even means, I'm...

ET already has list for members with most posts, most likes, and most followers, so how about another column for members who are most ignored by other members?

If you want to trade 40 contracts, and will only put up 25k, this means that you can only take a loss of $625 per contract before you run out of money. This is 12.5 points. The thing is that these days, in only the past month, we have had several gap openings between either the Friday close to...

A few points. My examples will be for futures which makes things easier given the one exchange, and certainly it gets much trickier for stocks given multiple exchanges and rules. First, the order book is full of people waiting to buy or sell at specific prices. Take some thing like the ES and...

You're twisting my words. I continually said percentages by themselves are misleading. You need more info than just percentages. The truth remains that your 10k account has maybe grown to 18k, in 2015, and this might represent 80%, buts its only 8k in total, so good thing you have your...

LOL... I'm done here. At least you note that its half size, but if you think saying 30% is the better way to quote something, regardless of it being $250 or $500 (which actually matters in the real world), then I better leave as I have nothing else to offer.

Here is why, taken from your website. Both outlined trades have a roughly 30% gain or loss. In the first example, the 31.3% loss is $251, but the 30.5% gain is $487. So all of these percentage gains or losses don't mean much in comparison to each other. You lost 30% on one trade, and gained...

At least we finally agree. In my opinion, its unnatural to quote a % gain under the PnL column as you do. I realize that perhaps options people do this, but it doesn't make sense given your column header. A PnL number is profit or loss. Profit or loss refers to dollars. It sounds glamorous...
