That may be true but I'm not sure how. One possible problem would be if liquidity usually isn't good enough to allow instant buys or sells at limit prices on SPY options. That would be a problem. I don't know if that's true or not because I've no experience. So, ACTUAL lack of liquidity could...

Because after thousands of "pretend" trades with countless stunningly accurate predictions and MASSIVE regular gains and few losses - I can make more in one month than most make in several years working at factories. Because I've tried to learn programming, high level math, two extra...

I've already tried about 6 trivial sized trades and made a little money. It felt like getting shot to click and buy. I've also made another 2 attempted trades that were placed but missed being filled by one penny. I would have turned a $3,500 investment into $45,000 on one and also just...

I have almost entirely been looking at just SPY for many years now. I like it because it's options move super good and it has much better volume than other stock options. Also, I found it to be REALLY informative when compared side-by-side with Apple and the DOW. I never felt the need to...

If it is it ain't me turning it into one. I'm not even sure how what I'm saying is so hard to believe. I'm not really even that knowledgeable at trading. I am, however, very good at predicting. I thought seasoned traders were WAY better than me. My psychological problems always held me back in...

What was wrong with the volume ? The daily volume seemed to be at least 80X what I was buying. I would think that's good. Of course, the minute to minute volume looked abysmal. Is the minute to minute volume listed on TDA charts actually accurate ?

I've been doing "paper trades" since 2007. I've taken about 5 years off. I've probably made, on average, 5 paper trades per trading day. I would regularly predict not only massive moves but also exact tops and bottoms and the pathways in between. I would estimate at least 1 out of 5 options...

Well, I'm running out of time. So, I'm getting pretty desperate and willing to face my fear. Once I make 20k or 30k I'll have the confidence to make real trades everyday. I can win that in 1 trade easily - I just have to calm down, relax, clear my foggy mind a little and face my fear.

Yeah, I've had my eye on LightSpeed. I think I heard their data and software can show darkpool trades. I think that would uniquely and significant help me make better trades. don't know if they're a direct access broker though. I was going to get an account once I got the courage and focus to...

I don't know why you'd think some part is insincere. I've been making pretend trades for many years. Waisted my life doing so. There was just so many little problems that always got in my way. I wanted to learn several fields of engineering, physics, programming, 3d animation but my foggy mind...

My problems were originally, I needed two 75" 4k tvs and a powerful computer, racing thoughts, phobia of losing any money, ADD symptoms like zero focus, constant distractions, and I needed to be able to analyze trades a little more quickly. I put out the money for the TV's and computer but I...

No, $5k per options trade would be ideal if I had a lot more money to work with, like +$50k. Right now I'm trying to trade my whole account rather than something much more reasonable like 5% per trade. I'm good enough that I quite likely can turn $16k into $50k in one or two trades without...

My mental problems are completely debilitating. Only reason I was interested in trading was because it was something I was EXTREMELY good at predicting exactly tops and bottoms and even everything in between. Actually, I've always been extremely good at predicting most things I took interest in...

I got mental problems. I predict awesome trades every day. I used to make WAY bigger and more accurate predictions but my mental problems always got in the way. Racing thoughts, ADD, phobia of losing money... I can either seriously reduce my trade size OR I can make one or two huge trades and...

Actually, I see profitable trades like that almost every day. Never take them though. Well, I knew quite well that it's not a good idea to buy at exact tops or bottoms because other big traders will get preference over your order. However, I never actually make trades I only predict them and...

TDA support said at the time I put my order in the quote was .30 x .31. He said the ask did not drop to .30. Well, my phobia got the better of me for the 3,000+ time I knew it was going to be a MASSIVE down day too.

I was thinking of asking them but I don't expect a sophisticated answer about how volume and quoted order book quantities work. I didn't think they would help much. But, I'll ask right now I guess...

I'm kinda sorta newish to trading. Actually I've been making imaginary options trades for a LONG time but almost never have made any real options trades. I typically make very accurate and profitable imaginary trades tbh. For whatever reason today I finally got the courage to finally put in an...

@Overnight That should do it. Thanks

The federal reserve calendar that I linked to gave the date of the meeting minutes many days ahead of time for the last meeting minutes, but it listed nothing about today's meeting minutes. How would someone know exactly when the meeting minutes are held ahead of time ?
