    We need some re-naming of things

    I always wondered where that jargon appeared for the first time. It would be interesting to read something about the origins of that naming convention.

    Any Virtual private server you can recommend ?

    AWS is famous everywhere, but you normally get a better deal if you speak to local providers close to the exchange you are after.

    Trading the ES live-the Brooks way

    This guy must be trolling everyone. He posted a trade calling himself a pro, using the 'beginners layout' on his broker. Check the picture he posted. Size, entry and exit are certainly a sign of a beginner. Then he called that a proof of his mastery. Definitely trolling.

    Any suggestion please?

    Look for authors that reference Al Brooks' work but challenge him. Specially papers on the research network. Anyway, price action is like any TA discipline, very subjective to the person that applies it, so don't take their word as gold. If price action was infallible they wouldn't be writing...

    Best U.S or UK focused economic, investment, and TA Blogs?

    Check 'Chat with traders'. Specially early videos on the channel, when they started out recording interviews. There you will get many good resources and books.

    Can you share a significant trading lesson you learned the hard way?

    The only strategy that you have to aim for is the one that allows you to try again. Which translates to "keep your sizes low" Every single strategy is bound to failure if you run it long enough. If you want to continue in the game make sure that you're able to try again. I blew 80% of the...

    How Millionaire Bankers Actually Work

    The other day I was watching the tastytrade stream on YouTube. I like them, don't get me wrong, but Tom was trying to describe what they did when they were pros in a very convoluted way and Batista jumped in straight away and said "we were market makers". Well, there it is.

    How Millionaire Bankers Actually Work

    I have never been a professional trader but I have worked in that area for about 5 years, where traders were around. Canary Wharf is full of contractors from all nationalities and backgrounds and many of us work developing systems for financial services. We get to see who is a genius. I don't...

    Best News API

    Are not news lagging events? I always wondered how news can be used to trade since you need someone to write them up. Unless you want everyone to follow your trade by introducing fear, then they are useful.

    2. Where is my mistake in the VIX of the CM E

    Also you have this website to look for contracts https://pennies.interactivebrokers.com/cstools/contract_info/v3.10/index.php There you can find the VIX conID which is the identifier for the contract. https://pennies.interactivebrokers.com/cstools/contract_info/v3.10/index.php?action=Conid...

    2. Where is my mistake in the VIX of the CM E

    Look for the contractsamples file, as in this example in cpp. Yours should be contractsamples.py https://github.com/bianster/tws-api/blob/master/IBJts/samples/Cpp/TestCppClient/ContractSamples.cpp There you have a few examples. Also you can request contract details if you only know the symbol...

    Bitcoin Miner Marathon to Sell Notes to Buy More Bitcoin

    You sell your shitcoins? that not very appropriate for a crypto acolyte. Remember, HODL until your crypto lords are telling you to do so.

    Bitcoin Miner Marathon to Sell Notes to Buy More Bitcoin

    Great attempt, but it is clearly reading 2K dollars. There are no shitcoins involved in that transaction.

    Bitcoin Miner Marathon to Sell Notes to Buy More Bitcoin

    Translation: a company is gambling their bonds into shitcoins. There are tons of companies that take wrong decisions. That might be one of them.

    PFOF to be banned in Europe from 2026

    Unless one of their trades goes wrong, then they look for that juicy cloud of stops that provide liquidity and strength to the direction they tried to go in the first place. And how do they know where that cloud of stops is at?
