I daytrade micros at IBKR. Paying $0.25 per side per contract commission. Its quite sufficient.

"Twelth, limiting the size to which IRA or other retirement accounts may grow, and/or assessing penalties to accounts which exceed such limits." This is a bad one. You won't have to be elderly anymore to start worrying about RMD's.

I currently trade about 8 strategies. Some of them are slow and steady while others are high octane where I am aiming for annual doubling. No harm in mixing growth strategies and income type strategies. Just keep the two types of strategies firewalled from each other so there's no potential to...

Log scale only matters when you're looking at long time frames. For long term stock charts I look at Log scale + dividend adjusted. That way you can compare stocks by seeing which one has the best looking 'equity curve'.

I was trading something like this in years past based on painstakingly constructed backtests using historical earnings data for the S&P 500 stocks. It worked for a while but then I shelved it around 2017 when it abruptly stopped working. I've seen other earnings systems also stopped working...

Its a well known secret that core CPI is highly massaged to keep a lid on growth in COLA payments. In the not-too-distant future this farce will become more and more glaring and cannot be ignored.

The ability to have faith in your system during drawdowns. Getting up every day, every month, every year and repeating the same process even during times when it seems broken. And the system does not have to be complex - I am talking even simple systems. In my opinion that is the overlooked...

Interesting. Sounds similar to Nadex.

With all this printing going on, double digit inflation is inevitable in the next few years (like the 1970's/80's). If you ignore the flawed core CPI and fake Fed numbers, we might in fact already be in the double digits.

Why not try end of month trading of Fidelity sector funds? Relative strength ranking strategies work on those. Position adjustments can be made on the night of the last day of the month for execution on the next day's NAV.

I have found gamers chairs the most comfortable. I am at my desk a lot and it is well suited for that. Curious about that Ergo chair but my cat would rip that mesh to shreds.

number of contracts is not a valid comparison. Based on notional value turnover I'd bet CME dwarfs everybody else.

well even the middle class got richer from the mutual funds they own in their 401Ks

After reading this thread, I feel I need to discourage my teenage daughter from wanting to study computer science. Sounds like if you are a new CS grad you have little or no hope of landing a job. Also just looked on Reddit - seems bleak.

article says he had a 'trip' to the ICU. Haha!

I mostly trade but I do have some long term investments. For the long term investments I have a simplistic trend indicator where if breached I must 100% exit the stock. Such a simple thing would have gotten you out of Enron, Worldcom, Lehman, etc before too much damage was done to your...
