My feeling is that the question whether the TICK leads the eminis or the eminis lead the TICK is nontrivial and depends maily on exactly how fast the respective exchanges are, how good the connections of various participants are to the exchanges, and generally on how "they do business" at the...

While I think I understand where you are coming from and still can't help you with your question, consider this: Why is it important whether a certain option has an implied probability of 90% and not 80% or 95%? I might be completely wrong here, but don't these calculations assume a normal...

Says who? The company who sells you the software?

I agree. The main thing is you have to keep trading. If you start feeling tired after a few hours, take a short break, but remember, every minute that you don't execute at least one trade is a wasted minute.

I'm not a pro, but if you forced me to go short there I would probably want a 2 tick stop.

fortuna, are you harrytrader?

"One"? Which one? I have never met one?

Like I said, once you learn what kind of answers they expect, you will ace all the tests. Maybe that's because people with a 125 IQ design those tests, so how are they supposed to measure anything beyond that?

After you have taken a few tests you usually know what kind of response they always look for, and then you always get the maximum number of points. Does that make you a genius?

Me neither. It really depends on the market you are trading whether stops make sense at all. If you trade options in the US you will most likely hedge rather than place stops.

Let's assume you have two independent data feeds and get realtime quotes and charts for anything your heart desires, except the NYSE TICK. What would be the cheapest way to get charts for this index (that are not 20 minutes delayed)? Will I really have to subscribe to another data feed just to...

Of course. If you have to trade against 100 people and all that counts is who has the most money in the end, the only viable strategy is to risk as much as possible. And that in turn will produce one lucky guy who makes 100000000% in a month, and what better publicity could there be for a...

Welcome to ET, ematters. I was a programmer, actually they called it a software engineer in those days. They gave me a computer and some piece of newly developed networking hardware, and I had to learn C and assembly language and write a driver for that device. Anyhoo, I tried to...

Yes. But it depends of course on how you define "drug". I see no reason why sugar should be considered any less a drug than coffee or cigarettes. You could also argue that it is more damaging, since it causes teeth to rot in nearly 100% of all subjects as opposed to cigarettes which kill...

Honestly, I didn't even bother to find out if it is considered "proven". I mean, there is research proving nicotine is not addictive, so why would I care what the current consensus among "scientists" (who usually work for cigarette or other drug companies) is. All I know about vitamin B is...

Maybe you just have not taken the time to understand Satanism. It is a religion much like your own: http://www.satanism101.com/statements.html Again, it's not killing newborns in a ceremony, it's simply a way to look at life.

I agree. And here is something the industry does not want you to know about: Most people who find that they can only bear being alive when they take drugs, could achieve the same effect by taking vitamin B. It takes about 3 to 4 days to kick in. And here is another fact the industry does not...

I wouldn't be so sure axeman is the right partner for you in this particular discussion. From what he says, he appears to be a Satanist. These people not only believe in the devil, they also worship him.

Why didn't you say that in the beginning? That would have shut me up right away. It is hard to argue against this statement of yours. Not only would the world be better off, but I personally would have had a better life if I had been taught to call science my religion. However, to the...
