    Day Traders Episode 1: The Pros

    In my opinion that series is one of the dumbest shows I have ever seen, certainly so if one is looking for any "education" or so.

    Why 3.5 million Americans in their prime years aren’t working — and no, it’s not video games

    There is always a displacement going on, it's been throughout the ages. However the fact that change is happening at much faster pace could be the reason. Nowadays, by the time you get your education or work through your ranks, your area of expertise might be obsolete or in demise. I don't...

    Any studies on who normally wins - option writer versus purchaser?

    That's why insurance companies are required to put up mandatory reserves for unexpectedly huge claims and there is also reinsurance business to spread the risk across. Spreading the risk across is entire point of the insurance business in the first place. That's why it is important to do...

    Any studies on who normally wins - option writer versus purchaser?

    I have very little knowledge about options, however: For the discussion which side is better (buying or selling options/insurance) it is a bit irrelevant whether there are re-insurers or not. And you're incorrect in saying later that re-insurers don't hold the bag. They might be, that's the...

    You really have some personal issues that require immediate attention. One way or another I do not see you making it out in trading but best of luck to you. From what you vaguely described, sounds to me like a classic program that is supposed to help business' that would be increasing local...

    Florida Man Who Raised $100 Million To Short The VIX Likely Returning To Old Job At Target

    Good point, but as I mentioned earlier, we first need to determine whether limited liability is the right concept to begin with. Then, even if that were so, there is an interesting explanation to the issue you've raised in the wiki paged I linked earlier: Anarcho-capitalist Murray N. Rothbard...

    Florida Man Who Raised $100 Million To Short The VIX Likely Returning To Old Job At Target

    I beg to disagree. That "socializing of the tail risks" has nothing to do with allowing or not business' opportunity to grow. If the business idea is so great they will surely be a creditor willing to extend the credit, albeit with proper guarantees. The "socializing" of tail risks you talk...

    Florida Man Who Raised $100 Million To Short The VIX Likely Returning To Old Job At Target

    As far as the "broad support" goes, something tells me that most bad concepts are almost always done (now and through the history) by lobbying the lawmakers, not passing what is "right". As much as I hate wiki for source of reliable information, being short on free time I decided to look up...

    Florida Man Who Raised $100 Million To Short The VIX Likely Returning To Old Job At Target

    I was merely referring to the historical fact (again, from what I have heard). It does make a perfect logic to me though. At first it sounds crazy (nowadays) and that's what Wall Street wants you to believe so the "show" can go on, but in reality that's the way it should be. If you're the...

    Florida Man Who Raised $100 Million To Short The VIX Likely Returning To Old Job At Target

    Are we talking about the same thing? I was talking about the fact (again, from what I heard somewhere) that in the past shareholders would be liable with their own (read: personal) assets for any insolvency, so to protect from the stupidity. It's like if you're an owner (as shareholders are)...

    What part of what I said you don't agree with? Or is that I'm simply stating the facts that you don't like? I suggest to re-evaluate your attitude. There are some free funds out there that can be provided to you if you meet the criteria. Don't want to meet the criteria? Then don't apply for...

    $50,000 worth of development for free

    Am I in? Are you kidding me? Of course I'm in for that free money. If I start a good business (my risk, my profits) and it survives, if someone is going to offer me that free $$$, I will gladly take it. If they change their mind, so be it. I tried to be nice but it didn't work. Since you...

    Being Polish myself, my paintbrush is sharp enough. There is no need to share with us where are you from, as nobody here really cares, however it does prove that you have some issues with yourself. Anyways, best of luck to you. BTW I don't understand that admiration of Russian "achievements" as...

    That's a good guess. At best, he is either in PL or HU, at worst BG or RO. As a result of the "iron curtain" and many years of socialism, there are still large parts of the populations there that think in terms entitlements, therefore a questions like the one OP asked: should he be making an...

    why is my broker giving me technical analysis recommendations

    As long as the price quotes and execution are spot on correct, it is of no importance to you whether they internalize the orders or offset your trades via interbank market. As far as the trading ideas, the side role of the broker is to provide traders with trade ideas and recommendations but...

    Trying to get mortgage loan as full-time trader

    good point, but there must be a reason why he's looking to buy a property in the first place... besides, by financing he is able to keep his investment capital high.

    Fast market Lesson: Stops can get rejected

    So what is your point? If his system is profitable (positive expectancy) then all the commissions are "cost of doing business". Should he keep trading it OR forget the profits and look for another system only because the overall costs are "uncomfortably" high % of the profits?

    Fast market Lesson: Stops can get rejected

    I'm too dumb to know exactly what are you talking about, but when you say that Rtrader's ... market on reject is implemented locally, do you mean their's servers or the local application on your computer? I think it is on their servers. Since all stops rest on their servers, doesn't R-Api cover...

    Fast market Lesson: Stops can get rejected

    In Rithmic, go to Configure Brackets and check "on" the option to: "convert stops to market on reject". the webinar I was talking about: note: video is for trader pro but works the same for non-pro version. hope that helps, Greg

    Fast market Lesson: Stops can get rejected

    Right there there is a second flaw in your assumptions: Once your order (opening the trade) to buy (or sell) get's filled, only your T/P part of the bracket (limit order) will be placed on the exchange. Your S/L, if it is stop market order, can't be on the exchange, it is on Rithmic's server...
