That is some shitty luck but hes probably a whale anyway and can swallow the loss.

Looking at your stats I don't see anything bad. In fact you are still up 520 bucks after a month with that outsized loss! If i were you I wouldn't cry too much about it. That's just trading, we all make big mistakes that take out weeks of work every once in a while. LEARN THE LESSON and move...

I'm going to give you a strong piece of advice. Don't use market stop losses. Switch to using a mental stop loss point in which you exit with a limit order.

CQG has it but its not cheap. 600ish a month plus data fees so add about 200 on top.

If someone asked me this Id recomend to always avg in and avg out. Never go all in at one price entering and exiting. Its always better to buy a little, wait, buy some more and if it keeps dropping sell a bit, wait, and then sell a bit more of it keeps dropping. This strategy will prevent those...

I think the point of the time not labeled on the chart is that you are not supposed to know in advance what the stock might do, like if you knew that the chart was from the year 2000 or 2008, you'd know to short knowing the odds are in your favor. That's why it's such a good game, it's all about...

IMO, I believe you could but only on daily or weekly timeframes, candlesticks intraday are meaningless for the most part as the close of the candlestick isn't a real close. Here's a great game to test your daily candlestick trading abilties. http://chartgame.com Anyone wanna play against me?

You should have sized way the fuck down about $500k ago. When you start sucking thats the clue to size down and try to be profitable on small size. If you cant do it on small size theres probably little chance youre going to be profitable on big size. Id almost say your too far gone to come...

Sounds like you should buy a put option. It will be expensive but you can buy a 1 year put option on SPY. Each option is for 100 shares, thus you would need to purchase about 5 options to get the coverage you needed. Shitty thing about this hedge is that you swallow the loss immediately upon...

Software is still 2k a month regardless of keyboard or not. Technically it might be like 1800 a month or whatever.

Thats bloomberg. Its about 2 grand a month. Not worth it imo, Ive used it for years. Youre better off with reuters or some other software, a good part of the info provided on bloomberg can be found in other news services for a fraction of the price.

The most applicable concept I can see for quantum entanglement is for arbitraging between new york and chicago. Still a ways away.

That chart isnt very convincing imo. Check out http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/perf.php?SPY,IWM Do a detailed analysis close up of those two using the above tool and come back and tell us if there is any truth to what he is saying. I find you have to do your own research in order to...

Each and every day trader makes exactly 45% roi yearly. There is no variance among these results as every trader ive met has told me they are pulling 45% year after year. The figure is the same whether you trade 10k or 100k but drops to 25% yearly when you pass 1 million. So its best to keep...

Do you mind elaborating on this reconstitution account. Haven't heard about that before.

thanks for the example, i'm not an options trader but if I understand this correctly, as long as SPY doesn't drop below 125.00 by Sep 2016, you keep $26 per lot if not you loose exactly $474 per lot? 125 is 40% from the highs. Not a bad bet but the risk reward aint so pretty, if shit hits the fan.

Do these lending clubs offer an option to just invest a small portion into every loan request, say all C's or B's, thereby diversifying to like 100 or 200 ppl easily? Or does every loan have to have only 1 counterparty. I think P2P lending is pretty revolutionary and empowering to the middle...

Even if you figure out span margin credits you still might run into problems because your brokers softwate may not calculate the correct span margin intraday ie they might think you are long or short 2 separate outrights. Been there.

Well if that's true about the 1.5 limit then 16gb should be enough, otherwise you may want to crank it up to 20 or 24, if you're maxing out at 8gb right now. A good rule of thumb is the check windows task manager for the Physical Memory % and keep that number under 40% under the max loads...

how much RAM do you have now? TOS is a massive ram hog so this is going to be the differentiating factor, the rest of the equipment is good enough for your needs.
