Why not?

You go pick out some of the most high paying jobs and then conclude that trading is not worth it? These are not easy jobs to get. I know many people in the corporate tech world. One company in particular as I play in their sports league and there are tons of qualified smart people there with...

As long as you're aiming, why not aim for 100x. How is your aiming working out?

Anybody get filled at those ridiculous prices? Looking at the T+S I see they were most likely impossible to get. Showing trades on THRD, NMS, PSE. Fills for sells but none for buys. For god sakes, do any trades happen on any normal exchanges anymore? What I don't get, is that Id always get...

Ya thats pretty much exactly what I have now. Just kind of clunky. Having to refresh each option when I change symbol or when underlying moves is kind of annoying. IB's DDE is not very reliable either. Ive had many problems over the years. Also I was hoping to do some kind of screening thing. I...

How do you guys manage getting r/t options data into excel? I want to input a list of options on various tickers to quote and analyze various spreads but im having a couple of problems. Firstly If I want a chain of say ten options on each stock, I'm having trouble getting the data as I have...

You don't think that it's too soon to draw such a conclusion? They thought Greenspan was a genius too. Noone knows what the endgame is for all this money printing since it has never been done before.

why *should* this happen?

sub pennying??

SEC is the problem. They are completely useless. IMO this internalization sub pennying is the worst thing ever. It baffles me how this is legal. Its a licence to steal money. People who compare these times to markets past IMHO are insane. In stocks anyways, there is no comparison.

in another thread you posted that Radarscreen maintenance fees are too expensive? You got such an incredible system and you won't spend a little money on trading tools? Does anyone on these board actually trade for real???

What did everyone here think of David Aronson's book "Evidence Based Technical Analysis"?

Totally agree. Mind boggling that they allow sub penny orders. Price improvement my ass. How can i get price improvement when I never get a fill? Oh ya, I gotta put in a market order to get my .000001 cent price improvement.

Sorry i don't see it. It's the inverse chart, the spread is graphed when the Q's r not trading after hours, and the range on the spread is not normalized to fit the screen like the Q's are. If u made those adjustments it would look pretty damn similar to me.

That's the same trade as just buying the indexes. When markets go up, tech usually outperforms. It's been that way forever. Throw up a chart with any weights you want it'll all basically point to that relationship. So thats basically a long the indexes play which is good for an investor, not a...

Ya great idea man. Im so confident in the governments actions and their track record in preventing financial crises, and how they have in no way made us more vulnerable to future crises given the unprecedented levels of debt that I will go leverage my hard earned money to buy second and third...

Seriously man. Thats like 12 financial crises away.

so if you're criticizing unhappy people does that make you unhappy?????

Yes thats what it means. I'm not sure if that is the preferred way. I know others who are incorporated. It is the specialty of a tax lawyer more than an accountant. There are many details that make this complicated. One of them is to sell the idea that your trading is considered "active" vs...
