    Train Wreck Journal

    Ok, that was a close one. I'm going to have to keep it brief to avoid being discovered. Additional Interactive Brokers account approved last night. Wired 30K today and bought treasury notes with a face value of $20k. For $385 in maintenance margin, I will earn $742 in interest for 2023. I...

    The Demolition of Russia's Economy

    No problem. China will build the needed infrastructure for Putin. For a price. It's ok, though. After all, Russia and China are the best of buddies, right?

    Train Wreck Journal

    This thread is still alive? Ok... Let's have some fun. At least until my parole officer catches me or a social worker searches my room and takes away my tablet. I am going to create a dedicated, live trading account for this thread. There will be screenshots of the initial deposit, trades...

    Train Wreck Journal

    As I kneel here before the Eye of Providence, I realize that keeping a public journal can enhance my self-flagellation also known as retail short term trading. Looks like there's rain ahead Like there is a crack in the heavens While self-flagellation is a worthy goal in of itself, the joy...

    Russia & Ukraine

    There are at least 8 specific scenarios the Russia-Ukraine war escalates to the use of WMDS on a global scale. Most of these scenarios involve the loss of situational awareness in one form or another. Other scenarios are related to the losing side attempting to either gain advantage or...

    Inverses for February selling: UVXY SOXS SQQQ

    This post will discuss how I perceive UVXY. My intention is to stimulate discussion or at least provide basic information on UVXY because it is an unusal instrument that can confuse traders not familiar with it.

    Russia & Ukraine

    My God, what is the United States coming to? How hard could it be to stage some pyrotechnics, hire a few actors as bad guys, and have a stand in for Biden go Rambo style? If we are going to propaganda, then we should mean it! Its not like anyone will be taken less serious, so we might as...

    Inverses for February selling: UVXY SOXS SQQQ

    You stepping to me? You really have no idea why most here are supportive of Ken, do you? I would have expected better from a Mensa International member. You might be happier posting your predictable two line(Tops) ad homs on another thread. However, you will be always welcome at my poker...

    Russia & Ukraine

    You quoted the Jamestown Foundation, a Conservative thinktank, yesterday and George Soros today. Interesting to see that some of their interests overlap. Earlier today, I attempted to respond to a post by Nine_Ender in my evidence for Election Fraud thread, but my lengthy post glitched out and...

    Inverses for February selling: UVXY SOXS SQQQ

    Ok, it looks like your entry on UVXY is around previous day's high and initial stop is around previous day's low. Sounds reasonable for a swing trade. How did you determine your targets for UVXY and SOXS? Your targets don't seem congruent. What is your thesis for your trade ideas? For a...

    Price Action Trading or Fundamental Analysis? Which is easier

    Fundamental analysis requires more work than technical analysis. However, to outperform using either or both strategies, one still needs situational awareness or at least a well tested stat-arb type of combined strategy. By the way, I recall Warren Buffet saying his team studied technical...

    I did a couple of trades on ES that showed 100% POP on IB's payoff diagram. Judging by this payoff diagram, IB uses BS as a pricing model, as payoff is flat no matter how DITM a put side trade may get, under the assumption of increasing back strike volatility, of course. Term structure was...

    Memphis riots , Tyre Nichols

    Most of the productivity of this country is from Conservative minded people, I suspect. Most of the Democrat base is inner city, am I right?
