    Need some help with a Numb leg and foot.

    Wow I've had similar symptoms for the last year. In my case I had slight numbness in my left leg/foot that coincided with chronic lower back pain. The symptoms recently got worse so I saw the doc and got an x-ray and MRI. The conclusion is I have age related disc compression and 2 of the...

    I think he means you *can* charge fees but by doing so you'll be flagged as a professional and your data fee will go up.

    What you've done is a diagonal spread. I'm not sure what you mean by "covered".

    Smartphone trading

    It looks like I'd have to pre-populate the watchlist with the specific options I'm interesting it. What if I wanted to create a 3- or 4-legged spread from scratch from the option chain?

    Smartphone trading

    The mobile versions of Oanda fxTrade and IB TWS are perfectly fine for TA-based trading. If you're a scalper, or require market depth and fancy indicators then you're SOL. My own trading is almost entirely option spreads. Can't be done on a mobile app.

    arb opportunities

    Don't fixate on settling to USD since getting your USD out is much more difficult due to regulation. There are other liquid cryptocurrencies that you can move out easily.

    Fidelity is mining Bitcoin

    You can already buy things on Amazon with BTC through purse.io. They're a sort of match-maker between "hodlers" (BTC holders) and people with unused gift card dollars.

    Fidelity is mining Bitcoin

    I honestly don't know but I'll speculate. They have an account at a broker like Coinbase where they receive the BTC payment, then manually convert to their home currency ASAP. Heck, places like Coinbase might do that automatically to support e-commerce denominated in BTC.

    breakeven strategy

    Bottom line is I can't reliably predict price moves. Once I found methods that didn't require this missing skill I started making money.

    Gym etiquette

    I really doubt it had to do with needing a shower. Some people just smell and frequently it's due to their diet.

    what's the best trading platform which can support Python ?

    Of course they are. If your strategy is good enough you get a capital allocation.

    Any experience hiring a programmer? Where should I look?

    Interesting. I'm surprised they don't have an escrow system set up. Maybe it's impractical for a labor market.

    Man I ended up giving up on Forex years ago. I never could figure out how to make money there and shifted exclusively to index options.

    Any experience hiring a programmer? Where should I look?

    I'm a software guy in my day job so I write my own trading apps. But if I ever got serious about making a software product for the marketplace I'd get another software guy/gal as a business partner. Hiring random strangers is a real crap-shoot with emphasis on "crap". You could get an...

    It's a "zig zag" indicator. There are plenty of examples floating around the internet.

    Is the IB Java API actually concurrent?

    It doesn't matter if it's Java or C++, all the messaging in the API is piped through 1 thread. The only way to get that kind of parallelism is through multiple connection instances. I've never done that before so I don't know if it would work. They may have additional throttling.
