This is kinda bullshit. When natural bodybuilders compete, they have to have a body fat level that is far outside normal range. Having a "six pack" isn't even comparable. They need to have deep quad separation/striation and even glute definition, i.e. minimal ass fat. You can have a goal of...

The real problem is that households with a single earner are being forced to compete with dual-income households with no real mitigating policies. Actually, the lion's share of economic policy and tax law is designed to benefit the dual-income household... Add in the fact that so many poor are...

Take the actual IVs and build indexes of them. Can use cap weightings, sector comp, related names, etc. You can build an index by aggregating normalized intra-day IV. Returns data can also be indexed.

Pointless to compare average expense to median income. Income and expenses are skewed right.

Which markets or spreads are you trading?

Don't know much about AI, but I'm an amateur mathematician. I do a lot of algo design and data transformation/normalization/indexation/differentiation and integration, etc. If you know what data(s) to feed into well designed algorithms, you can get ahead of the game. Examples are like...

Real-time spreads priced yes, up to a 250ms 'snapshot' or even real-time "on tick event" data and maybe even faster than that. If you are saying , "can I have algo logic (in Excel) that posts orders and sets limits and monitors open trades" then that is much more advanced.

Looks just like the 'tastytrade' front end. Let's just say I'm not a fan. ThinkorSwim Schwab, I like.

It's actually part of the CFA curriculum (Level III, I believe). You can listen to this guy talk about running the index arb business for UBS for eight years and then as an independent running his own execution desk. His clients include locals from the S&P options pit and other institutional...

I obsessed over this, since the guys on ET all seemed to have the inside baseball on it, and because I'm just an obsessive compulsive autodidact (math and finance in particular). I refer to this as 'industry knowledge'. IMO, the most important market-making to understand are the basis spreads...

You're charting the wrong series. My chart has 'EMA' and 'EMA2' on it (EMA2 is the panzerman filter). You charted 'EMA1' and 'EMA2' instead. You just disable the plot on everything else, otherwise you will get too many series. It's actually kind of an interesting technique. Basically, it's...

thinkScript code implementation plot Xn = close; plot EMA = ExpAverage(Xn,20); plot Wn = 2 * EMA; plot Un = 3 * Xn - Wn; plot EMA1 = ExpAverage(Un,20); plot EMA2 = ExpAverage(EMA1,20);

A broker should be... Registered. Incorporated in a respectable jurisdiction. Subject to regular audits, and in compliance with all applicable regulatory law(s). Customer funds are segregated. Healthy margins. Can get current data here...

Not likely.

How much capital do you actually have (or can get)? Do you know SPAN and Reg-T? You can easily lever up with CME products and especially spreads.

Hey, this is just some volume tools I've been working on. You can see how important this is in practice. If you're not using volume and comparing your trades to other participants, you're missing a lot of information.

I just found a volume profile script for thinkScript (now Schwab). https://usethinkscript.com/threads/volume-profile.15844/ They also have TPO studies. https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/Tech-Indicators/studies-library/T-U/TPOProfile

What if you're using loss functions and spreads of similar, or regressions, indexation, vols and inter-commodity market data analyses? Is that TA? It's the same shit as far as I'm concerned, just a lot more sophisticated.

The prime brokers are trying to drive the trading as far away from VWAP as possible. This is because they are obligated to deliver VWAP. Therefore, they have an incentive to keep overdone trends alive, and make sure the bulk of their volume gets done at prices favorable to VWAP. My advice is...

Schwab reps said that? I was gonna look into SSE, but now I'm thinking well ... what's the point if they're just gonna discontinue it. Can anybody confirm? Thanks.
