He's shooting for the moon, what do you expect?

lmao. What? She was a grains trader for Cargill and now has over $1B in AUM and you are calling her a shill?

Why does it matter if they are bucketing your orders? Maybe if you trade with huge size where you can move markets, you may be concerned for liquidity reasons if you're getting squeezed. But I assume nobody on this board trade anywhere near that kind of size. I bet you more traders would be...

I am happy that I don't have to worry about these micro market concerns. It's too much vig to be paying if you don't get the right execution. And even if you're right the vig is killer.

I agree about the phantom "liquidity". But on the whole, I am getting execution now than I was 10 years ago when we switched to decimilization. The spreads are tighter. I don't daytrade so the pennies and subpennies aren't too much skin off my back, but I doubt there won't be a day in the future...

enough with the formalities, I expect delivery of your stock certificates by noon tomorrow. I will kindly dispose of your stocks at market rates. Although there is a curious thing with what you say above. If you take delivery of a treasury bond, via bond futures. Is the bond, which is a...

If its not a good, then please be sure to drop whatever stocks you are holding at my door!

Trading is one of the oldest businesses since the beginning of man-kind. In fact, many of the first American settlers were traders who established trading companies to cross-sell furs and other goods to the Old World. Obviously, securities trading is obviously more abstract today, then it was...

Making money is proportional to edge. Making money consistently is a function of strict, disciplined application of edge.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. It's like saying you can't be a pro baseball player cause you want to make big money, even though you may be passionate about the game as well. Although it looks like the OP is only using trading as option because he doesn't like his current job. I suggest...

in trading, like poker, you can't expect to play every hand and be up. I find overtrading to be my single greatest factor of losses. Pick your spots and manage your downside. Trading is not a business in the sense that you have to be making a trade all the time.

If the market is not suitable for his strategy, then he should pack it in and wait for better opportunities. Churning commissions and taking on crazy volatility against stacked odds is a ridiculous notion.

how was the view? :p

Trading is the most competitive business out there when you consider the absolute size of the financial markets and all the money that is moving around and the number of market participants. With trading the markets you don't have the security of localization that you would have had you started...

You miss the point completely to what Bruce Lee is saying. If anything, Bruce Lee was phrasing Lao Tzu. "Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it" Learn to adapt and you will be successful.

I disagree. Price is a derivative of human interaction and each situation is not necessarily independent from one another, eg random. The stock market possesses a herd mentality that at certain intervals is strong and at other intervals is weak. If, for example, your long signals are suddenly...

You had a nice month, and year. I'm only up 8% for the month, but had an absolutely lousy march -10%. Good to be back to almost flat from my march close.

What is truth? TA is an aggregate of formulas that output certain numbers depending on the input. There is no truth to TA. It just is. It is truth insofar as it provide the correct calculations in accordance to the inputs that are entered. Also to assume there is truth in the market, is to...
