    Levan is a beast... probably stronger than Cyplen. Wonder how we would have fared against Brzenk at his peak (G.O.A.T in my book). :fistbump:

    Day trading is for suckers?

    I watched a few of his videos. I can't say for sure 100%, but I think he's a real trader. There's another but though. From what I can gather, the bulk of his gains come from about 1 trade in 20. And he is significantly at risk on that 1 trade with size (5,000 shares or more as a retail...

    SOFR vs Eurodollar Spread

    Bone, Since SOFR is a secured rate and supposed to replace LIBOR which was unsecured, is there any good measure of interbank risk outside of the Eurodollar curve?

    Poker -- Has your knowledge of poker improved your trading profits?

    Hi Scat, So would you say that the concept of maximizing the size of one's wins and minimizing the size of one's losses does not transfer to trading/day-trading?

    Are you too anxious to win?

    Yeah sure, basically more signals per timeframe traded allows for a smoother ride to the trading method's expected value. That's one of the things Ed Thorpe mentioned once, that when he was at the blackjack table it was easier for him to manage a big drawdown (he was down $1700 on a $2500...

    Trading full time from home.
