    Risk Management when Trading Options through Technical Analysis and Money Management Thread

    Robert, this is something that I haven't found anyone to answer me yet. Can you have options only trading strategy that is scalable and "safe" It seems to me that if you have an options based system based on stops, it is neither scalable nor safe(by safe I mean you can expect to get out...

    How do you trade using multiple time-frames?

    I can give you an example, but I'm not sayings it has any edge or anything. Let's say you trade on 1m. You know there are many traders, and more importantly many auto systems, get their trigger on 5m. Now you see a three red 5m candles in a row and a new green candle forming. All the popular...

    Simple automated strategy

    What would you think about this arrangement. You create your strategy in TOS and I believe it let's you send alert buy and sells. Then you find someone, possibly even on ET, to enter/manage the trades for you. I think you can have IB set up so that the person has limited access to account. The...

    Oliver Velez and iFundTraders (scam proofs)

    K, let me try ... just my point of view - not facts: 1- How can he give $50K to all his traders if he does not have that money? Once you pass the SIM, they will set up a prop trading account. I believe it's with T3. What kind of payments he gets after that I don't know and don't care. As long...

    Oliver Velez and iFundTraders (scam proofs)

    Listen, nothing I (anonymous person on ET) can say to convince you. And I am NOT trying to convince you of anything. Just like you I don't really have any poof of anything ... only opinions. You may very well be proven right. What I can't tolerate is someone coming to ET and dumping all over...

    Oliver Velez and iFundTraders (scam proofs)

    Read through the post below (my question in #23) He is an educator ... NONE of his money is being used! They offer you 50k of funding and as far as I know, they will give it to you once/if you pass the simulator. If he sold you the course promising 50k funding but than reneged, that would...

    Oliver Velez and iFundTraders (scam proofs)

    This is hilarious ... You did not buy his course, but you were able to back test his discretionary strategy. Would you be so kind to post the rules of his strategy, the symbols, periods tested, and source of intra-day data? If you take one of the days he traded live and run against your back...

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    I'm sorry I don't understand ... You are accusing someone who has friends and family and parents of being a con artist and a scammer with no actual first hand knowledge. That doesn't seat well with me, that's all. I have no actual proof either way, so maybe I'm gullable, but that doesn't make me...

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    Lol. This is exactly what I was afraid of. Cant argue a point without being accused of something. I think we both made our points clear, let's wait for more "proof." Cheers.

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    Do a week worth of your live trading on Periscope. If you have a an edge, I'll be your first customer. Hell, I can even fund you with 50k BP to start if you'd like. I have lots of respect for people who share their trading experience online. I can't imagine doing that with all the negativity...

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    Well, good for you but your common sense is not a proof of scam. Would you please let me know a legitimate place to get funded with no qualifications and with no initial deposit of any kind? Oh, just noticed - below sounds pretty good too: •Tuition Reimbursement Program – Once a student...

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    I don't have conflicting opinion - my opinion is that I don't care who he is or what he did in the past. I only care about one thing - can he help me to raise my game? What do you mean by "He lies about offering 50k?" Did they turn you down? As far as I understand, the only qualification is...

    Oliver Velez and iFundTraders (scam proofs)

    I agree ... I hate scams and love transparency. We should fight scams and help others ... that's partially why we are on ET(I hope). Very hard to figure out though who is who online. However, I don't understand what you mean by "Is Oliver Velez a scam?" Is he personally a con artist? I...

    Oliver Velez and iFundTraders (scam proofs)

    Listen, you should NOT deal with him. I say this because I see you will be disappointed. Your expectations are wack, imho. You are looking for certainty in a business which has none! Search for "Turtle traders" and see why knowing one's methodology is not enough. If you think you can learn to...

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    I "lost" much more on college education. Could have picked up all that knowledge on the internet, no? He provides education. He makes no promises. We all know the statistics, the rest is up to us. I appreciate him showing his style prior to taking your money. I look at it as buying a call...

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    He is giving his(prop firm's) money for you to trade. You only pay platform and data fees and can quit anytime. There is NO risk to you other than your initial education expense. Sounds like a great deal - use OPM to prove you got what it takes. Not much different from something being sponsored...

    Trading rooms for beginners at swing trading?

    Years ago I was looking for a swing trading service to benchmark my own trading against. I found Dave Landry. I would recommend to check him out. He has lots of free content to understand what his style is and if it fits what you are looking for.
