Check out Brent Osachoff on Youtube. He spends a lot of time with UVXY and VXX. And he is not a fan of trying to ride the decay of the ETN. My advice is to stay clear of any VIX related products until you've gained extensive experience, and are well aware of the risks and characteristics of...

You are placing a long-term bet that UVXY will decline in price, and your put will then gain in value. There are many problems with this strategy. I'm sure you're aware that UVXY responds to volatility. But not in a way that's going to be of help to you if you're holding puts 90 days out...

I took a road trip a few weeks ago between D.C. and Boca, stopping at various points along the way to visit family, etc. Costs are up everywhere, but Florida was by far the worst.

But we appreciate you holding the line on prices here on E.T.

I don't know Ken personally. And I've never replied to one of his posts. But over the years I've run into a lot of information he's generated in a variety of media. And I can't recall anything that I found offensive, or seriously disagreed with. If you have specific issues with his advice...

Bad fills can also be generated by lazy subscribers who are trading manually. My last experience a few years ago involved a subscriber who logged into the system about an hour after I had triggered an entry. That caused a winning trade to be posted as a loss. Any operation like C2 is going to...

Your intentions are noble. But novice put sellers are on par with born again Jesus freaks and new vegetarians. They have all the answers. The main one being, "I'll be happy to own the stock." Sure. Got it.

Shame on you for injecting reality into this fantasy thread.

Speaking from long and painful experience with the same problem, I offer a couple thoughts. 1. You need to really own the realization that you will NEVER succeed if you cut your profits short. A successful system requires that good trades are given the chance to run, helping to overcome the...

Unless you have gone through the process of obtaining trader tax status, the IRS will not view your trading as any different than the activities of a regular investor, for which they do not support home office deductions. So you should ask yourself if the small deduction you want to take is...

On TWS, you can create a 'conditional' order to trigger your first rule at X price. Your second rule, also a conditional order, can be set to trigger at a particular time. Unfortunately, with 2 conditional orders, you can't set an exit at MOC, but you can set it just before the close, for...

It was Hunter Biden, for sure.

Oh, yes, for sure, I for one have been yearning for a new social site where I can share my winning strategies with `thousands of young, ambitious traders.` Not.

Assuming you're not enabled for premarket trading, you'll be entered at a market order at the market open, if your buy stop is below the market open. That's one of the challenges of keeping buy or sell stops active in an overnight position.

It's shit, not shite. Learn to speak English.

Paper trading is to trading as a game of monopoly is to business. Success at one is no assurance of success in another. So don't get too far ahead of yourself. For tax related issues visit Greentradertax.com

Any effort I have made over the years to impose my opinions on my systems has resulted in failure. Wars, politics, disease, destruction. What, me worry? Just stay on course.

I'm surprised that the issue of trading a daily open in EL is so difficult. I would think that many traders in the EL environment would be wanting to back test gaps from previous daily bar closes. Basically that is all I am looking to do. Put a condition on the open...or even near the...

Thanks for your offer of help. But I believe I found a solution to my problem.
