Trading options? Why not trade stocks? I think day trading stocks is a little less risky, and a little more simple and straight forward. But that's just me and I am just getting started. So take all with a grain of salt and lots of YMMV. I am only going to talk about what I know a little bit...

Well done. I hope you keep your predictions grounded in more substance than this guy...

I watched a bunch of Ross Cameron's tubes. Very entertaining. He didn't sell me anything, but I liked the vids.

You can get a nice PS for well under $50 that will give you all the juice you can use. If it won't fit inside the case cause you have some kind of mini tower, just pop rivet it to the outside. Doesn't have to be pretty, and you get used to the fan noise soon enough.

Well, that's that, then. However I do already have one on the way and I am going to try a few things. One will be to set it up as a web based stock screener. And just to be sure that it is no good for TWS and put the question to rest once and for all, I will try, without using any extraordinary...

African proverb, quoted in "The Complete Turtle Trader": Every morning the gazelle wakes up and knows it must run faster than the fastest lion, or be killed and eaten. The lion wakes up and knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or go hungry and maybe starve to death. But it...

Same here. Paper trading was essential for me, for learning my way around the Trader Workstation platform and getting to understand how orders actually worked. As for practicing strategies, that didn't do it so well for me, either. I find my discipline and interest is lacking when I am paper...

I make three trades a week. So I mostly stick to the talking. And listening and reading.

You idiots. You are off topic. Sorry. Herd mentality.

Since somehow in spite of The Donald, things have worked out okay the last couple years, we have learned to be merely amused at his antics instead of alarmed. It could have been worse... there was Hillary, after all. Meanwhile 4th of July is a great time for fireworks and picnics and stuff and...

Does a calculator with really big fat buttons count? It's solar charging.

This was a fairly old TV, and relatively speaking, pretty cheap. And Ubuntu did not show me any overscan settings in the gui Settings menu. Didn't know where to set them with console. But working now, seeing the full display onscreen. I suspect the resolution I am seeing is all that is supported...

HAH subscribed! Very clever business model, and I have ruminated at length already on most of the points brought up by the naysayers after initially dismissing the model as a scam with a thin veneer of legal and regulatory protection. Well, Ryan's 21% passthrough to funded trading actually looks...

Someone with little patience might also say that a snail does not move.

New monitor is crap. Fine for watching movies on. 32". Between it and the mediocre graphics card it was giving me fits. Well it wasn't actually a "new" monitor. It was GF's old TV and I just didn't want to kick the old dinosaur to the curb. I figured it had a second life left in it. First I...

I finally found an edge...

Didn't say "best". But it works quite well, yes. Well enough that there is no reason to fear trading on a Ubuntu box. "Best" is not a claim that I would be competent or experienced enough to defend, TBH.

TWS and Ubuntu go together like peas and carrots. Still, thinking about going API / Python in console once I am fully funded and can trade multiple times every day.

Today was supposed to be a trading day but I have to go to my union hall this morning and do some research and planning for my possible retirement this week. I will trade tomorrow if there is anything that looks really good. It has been a productive weekend and I really want to keep the momentum...

You can't lose money by watching! Sometimes it is good to step back for a moment and get a reality check.
