As much as I agree with the premise that the trucking industry will more than likely be the first to change before personal transportation, I'm not sure if one company that has a fancy transmission system will be the one to skyrocket. Look at the autonomous driving sector for personal cars. I...

What does this mean? "He said he was thinking about reaching out to Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) to craft proposals to reduce speculative trading, which presumably would curtail Renaissance’s profits." Its clearly the juicy part with regards to trading. Isn't all trading...

You keep looking for help but sadly, ET is not where you are going to find it. Second, buying a system isn't going to cut it either. There is a pretty good webinar about systems trading from futures.io. What I found the most interesting was this. So first, we all know about drawdowns, but...

Bam... I beat you all! :D 163/340=47.9% (by posting this though, I'm dropping my average unless sometimes likes this post.... tee hee)

Thanks.

Its as simple as cutting winners short and letting losers run. I know this is so basic you almost want to say its useless, but its absolutely true. If you consider that a trade is essentially 50/50, meaning it might win or lose, but you are always taking a tiny profit but holding through a...

You beat me to it. Even before you try and figure out if its going up or down, simply learning the statistical nature of the markets, and of your stops and targets will be huge. I have no doubt that a trader placing random trades, with a right mix of R:R ,that he sticks to every time, will...

Robert, can you comment on the PDT rule in terms of SPY options? Also, does this change if you are not a US resident or trading in the US. Thanks.

I personally don't understand this either. Everyone talks about the risk to IB, which is fine, but what is the risk? Each ES contract is $50 per point. That means that if you lose $1000, you have lost 20 points. Obviously during RTH, it takes a while to lose 20 points, even during major news...

From my understanding, at least in the later years, he also has very much control in running the companies, so he isn't exactly just a stock picker. From the articles I read, many of the companies that he buys he amalgamates, trims staff, etc, and this is part of the reason why whatever he...

Yes, I'm sure HFT does care about posted size, but for me trading the ES, I can see its always far enough away from the inside bid/ask as to not get it, and it either disappears very quickly, or at least when price does get closer. The whole idea is just to push price one way or another. What...

Right, but how much of this is actually trading versus sitting for years in someone's account, or even a pension fund? It may be 0.76% of all shares, but if 80% of those shares haven't been traded in the past 6 months, then all of a sudden, this 40 million shares is a much bigger percentage of...

Ok, now this is actually interesting. I do think that 0.76% of all the available shares is quite a bit. The next thing to consider is how many of these shares actually trade. I see it like real estate. Sure your house might be worth a million bucks cause the last few sold for that, but if...

Does showing size even matter?

At the same time.. what's the float? Since this a long term hold, could removing enough shares from floating around cause a bit of a squeeze? If another institution didn't want to sell a huge bunch, so all that was available was what usually is only held for a little while, then maybe this...

From my simple observations, even if the actual vs. expected numbers are better, its often small in comparison to when they get around to talking about forward guidance. So although number 2 might be important, the party often ends quickly when the next part of the report comes in.

Here is my question if anyone can answer. Based on the size he is buying, is there anyway that the stock could have dropped during the time he is accumulating? Sure you have your regular day traders going in or out, or your swing trades hoping to make a few bucks, but when you get a...

On top of this, I would also add that the problem is that when you look at what is in the order book, compared to the trades that happen, its also a small fraction. With computers these days placing trades, it literally takes a micro second to add a limit order somewhere and execute a trade...

Right, but then he links to this strategy, which clearly isn't the ES. https://collective2.com/details/98408819 So if he is trading the VXX or XIV, where ticks are now pennies, maybe 4-6 cents is completely acceptable. I have no idea since I've never watched this. I only know how the ES and...
