The first 200 pages of this thread (just prior to the beginning of the great recession) and the last 200 pages of this thread are eerily similar in that posters are saying the exact same things. Maybe I should patent a new indicator: the ETZeroRisk Oscillator :D

Bob's definition of an edge is correct. You were describing a 'hard edge' in your post which is the exploitation of some sort of inefficiency in the marketplace which guarantees a positive return. The soes bandits were executing a hard edge, for example. There also used to be a well known hard...

Trading is not gambling. However, most 'traders' don't realize that they're gambling and not trading. Here is an example of actual trading: I own 1 million shares of a thinly traded stock which I would like to sell. How do I get out of my position at a fair price without the market selling-off...

He is long from 256x, staying long, no reason to be short, loves pullbacks, much higher prices ahead, etc.

For what it's worth, nobody in this country actually 'voted' in Trudeau directly - our election system is not like the US; we cannot cast a separate vote for prime minister. We vote only for local party members and by default, the leader of the party with the most votes becomes PM. Trudeau is...

If this is real performance, colour me impressed.....

He was in a losing trade, 4 contracts deep and 60pts in the hole, for like 2 weeks. The sooner he cut that shit the better...

You did the right thing, imo. Onward to the next trade...

I use it and it has level 2, so not sure what you're talking about there. IB's tos and level 2 don't even come close in quality to das trader.

Fundamentally, you have the right idea but trading the right idea at the wrong time is going to eat into your equity. When the mark-up is finished, the sell-off will come. However, in the interim, which is a worse kind of pain for you? a) the market trades to 2800 without a pullback and you’re...

Right, but we are coming off of historically low interest rates kept artificially via monetary policy, so the rulebook is being rewritten. Fundamentally, there are already enough catalysts to take the market down, interest rates notwithstanding; therefore, the question is not whether asset...

Will you be putting a stop on your long position this time or are you just leaving it to fate? :P

The Federal Reserve. https://www.ft.com/content/c80b6ad2-9d6d-11e7-8cd4-932067fbf946

... and sure enough, they were accumulating. Just over 2 billion in assets added to the balance sheet. To give some context, between April 11-18 the Fed were also net buyers (again accumulating 2 billion) but resumed their selling campaign the following week shedding almost 13 billion in the...

When the Fed releases their balance sheet later today for the last week (weds-weds), it wouldn't surprise me to see that they've been net accumulating. However, in this environment, every accumulation is just a precursor to the next big sale.

He has a CL journal too.

Well I hope that it doesn't come to that, I was just curious how much risk you were willing to take on a position.

Where's your uncle point on this position? Although I agree with your trade in premise, it looks like you were a bit early to the party.

Yes. You've averaged in, okay good, now the trade turns around and starts going your way... so why not add a contract at your first target, second target, and dump them all at your third target, kind of thing? You can always back the add-ons with a stop if it makes you uncomfortable.
