lol, I just enjoyed beating the markets from an early age. I enjoy thinking up ideas/strategies to beat the market. I might start giving some to others (ones that I can't see would remove liquidity for me or cause my stops to fight for a price).

The beauty of my trades was when conditions warranted it, I'd be in and out of the trade in mere seconds/split seconds with a $100 profit, volatility made it even more accurate (I enter my trades with a buy stop or sell stop above and below the market and exit via limit order 5 points farther).

I keep several strategies but one I use, is to scalp 5 point from NQ (or 2 pts from ES) when condition gets triggered with a $400 stop loss. The irony, out of frustration I did (the opposite) for 5 trades and was stopped out with a 5 point loss (NQ) within seconds each time (looking for the...

I had a very poor February, though according to my strategy (trades) I should've been positive. Now in the first few days of March I decided to take a step back and trade a bit less but all I've managed to pick are mostly the losing trades of a system that picks 80% winners. I now remember why...

I don't like when people call tops and bottoms, but I highly doubt you'll see TSLA at $1200 again for a long time.

Support is pretty irrelevant in these type of market action.

OOHHH!! I didn't know you guys like ice fishing?!?

Anyone from Ukraine? what's the mood like - what are most planning if invaded?

Have you looked at the returns of TQQQ? last year 82%, year before that 107%, the year before that 155% Even with TQQQ hovering around $50 now, for every $1 you invested 5 years ago (let's say the open on first trading day of Jan 2017) you'd have $10 now (and that's even after this years -year...

It's all about ROI (return on investment). You stand a much better chance of profit, by buying as many shares with your $500 after selling calls. You drop your net purchase price to $0.56 a share. If it goes to $2.50 you've made $1750 or so in profit. If you decide to buy $2.50 calls you'll need...

Options are riskier than outright stock. Just imagine you are wrong and stock only doubles to $2.50 by Jan 2024. By owning stock, you still have the value of money in shares and have actually doubled your investment. On the other hand if you bought call options expiring in Jan 2024 and price is...

Forget 1 in 500, if he can only pick correctly 1 of 2 in an NFL parlay for 11 consecutive times he'd be more than a multi millionaire by just investing $1000 - not to mention, he can finish it by year end too.

Wouldn't I need the stock to go significantly above $30 to make a profit then?

I Would like to hear some thoughts/advice from you frequent option traders. First, let's say I'm bullish on RIOT for the next few months and I feel it will rise above $30 in the next 2 months. My Options: A: Buy 3x DEC 17 $26/$30 call spread for $1.50 per, for a max profit of $2.50 per. B...

I know, but it's not updating for me anymore. I guess it's still working for everyone else, maybe my computer is the problem - have too many programs running possibly. Will try restarting computer.

I've used Yahoo finance and it served it's purpose for delayed option chains, but seems to not work effectively lately. Hasn't updated in days now. I have live updates on my trading app, but it only allows me to view one specific option at a time (ie, requires me to be specific as to date and...

WOW, that commission rate is pretty high. I think we used to pay $0.0005 or 50c per 1000 shares. Some of us were simply scalping and profiting the rebates.

I and a lot of others started out at Swift. Have they gone to remote? Obviously 20 or so years ago it was all in house. Their profit split was weak but the fees were ultra low, plus it was a great atmosphere at the time - almost like a club.

I used to day trade (from Canada) long time ago. I'd love to know what the going offers are these days. PM me please if you don't want to say it publicly. Might be able to get you in touch with a Canadian trading group - though not sure of current rates/deals anymore. PS they'd want to see...

Ironic that you don't respect people who speak in a way you don't approve, but in the same sentence you disrespect Poker players (perhaps because you suck at poker). Let me educate you just a bit (with proven stats to back this up); There is a greater percentage of long term winning poker...
