I wasn’t aware that the Swiss was for show, I suppose I just assumed from last I heard they buckled. Plus their currency hasn’t traded the same ever since all that went down. Thanks for the read. Sorry wasn’t trying to dispute your original comment I thought it was pretty funny. I’m bad about...

Idk I could be wrong but the longer the chain gets won’t the mining also become more extensive? It seems like I’d not now it’s doomed to fail Look at all the pressure the Swiss got about their secrecy laws, and they ended up copping out and giving in to the EU and US demands. If the Swiss are...

I think he just doesn’t understand the technical terms. I’m getting at what OP is asking by depth how much of the trading is discretionary(feeling) vs systematic(rigid set of rules). And how sophisticated are the rules used, and what’s all involved with the rules how much time is invested. How...

One side of the issue? Why because you discount any idea counter to yours? All you have to say is no and accuse it of being fantasy and it doesn’t exist? And your side is only legit? Do you really think that an abundance of workers willing to work for cash at any price has no effect on the...

I also thought the same thing I’ve played earnings before. A week or two before I usually buy the front month ATM options or if earnings is within a week of expiration I go the following month since theta decay is greatest at the end of the options life. I always look at monthly as weekly tend...

I figure once rates are 0 they’re out of conventional methods to stimulate. Then they’ll have to have to do other QE methods which carry more risk such as major currency devaluation, and I see that as counter maintaining reasonable inflation. Perhaps there’s ways to do multiple rounds of...

Exactly unless you’re told by a book or the government you can’t comprehend or imagine it happening. You're unaware of the realities of street life and the abuses that are common especially on the east coast among illegals. You were a military secretary or nurse or something Idk not from the...

You can deny it happens all you want, but apparently you’ve lived a sheltered life and aren’t to street savvy. By the way the one having trouble in CA is a nonwhite immigrant. He started out more than successful it’s why he got into it but the illegal immigration is catching up to him. You can...

Technically they would but at the same time that would be contrary to most central banks mandate

Back to the original thread I’ve always wondered what’s going to happen in the next economic downturn. Rates are in fact already at 0 or in stimulus territory. It’s like central banks have 0 ammo left to combat the situation when it happens. It’s actually kinda scary, especially since we’re 9...

Ever heard immigrants joke “I claim Mexican” that’s because the ones working jobs with W2 income often claim way more dependents than they should knowing they’ll never file, not to mention many work for cash anyways, sure the ones working taxable jobs pay in to SS but they’re not paying crap...

CDcaveman you still around? I’ve had this same exact idea long calls and puts using the PHLX dollar index options. Reason being as I can position size the option cost and not use a stop the option is essentially the stop. Of course Greeks come into play. Leverage seems to be large enough. Theta...

I’ve read dozens and dozens of books on the markets possibly over 100 covering options, futures, stocks, bonds specific commodities. A lot of trading books are filled with fluff and aren’t written by profitable traders. So I take everything I read with a grain of salt. I think the OP should...

A lot of ppl like Kathy Liens “day trading the currency market”. I feel a lot of that book applies to swing trading also. I would read and learn a lot about price action. You’ll need a lot of books not just one. Get some on trading psychology, some informing you about the markets you’re...

Wtf lol

Ya I was called a “FUD flinger” for saying these types of things. I will say I don’t understand the technology behind d crypto but can’t see anything taking over government controlled FIAT. They lose control of their economies if they don’t control the money. EUR is already too many...

Yes people have been calling for bitcoin to reach one million, there’s a lot of investors that believe Six figures is shortly around the corner.

Governments around the world couldn’t even stand Swiss banking secrecy laws. Eventually they pressured/black maled Swiss in to getting rid of them. What makes ppl think governments would be ok with even a more secret replacement? It’s not the banks placing the controls but the governments using...

Sorry I didn’t post more clearly but didn’t want too much for ppl to read. And my writing is awful. The reason to use them would to be able to sit out whipsaws and market spikes that typically stop traders out in spot then after being stopped out the trade goes their original way. Gaps on...

I don’t argue that this is a third tier market at all. I agree, spot is #1 CME options are more popular. I would think though that CME contract specifications are too big for average newer retail traders to properly position size. Figure you’d want close to a six figure account to play there...
