Of course trading is easy. Click buy, click sell. Being the best trader that ever lived is also easy. Just join an anonymous internet forum and tell everyone about how your annualized sharpe ratio is over 120.

There are strategies out there which are insanely good which could theoretically handle 50-1 in stocks, but in these kinds of strats all the risk is in the execution. One day the algo goes offline or bugs out, and boom. So I'm curious how Hold is able to offer 50-1. Is this straight up or is it...

Bruh you sound like you have stockholm syndrome or battered wife syndrome. You have all these issues with your broker but you won't switch, you won't name and shame them, you contradict yourself by saying they are one of the best in the country, and you are trying to convince yourself that it's...

I think this is a misconception. If you are trading on public information then it's not front running. If there is a distressed seller (whale) getting out then buyers will compete on their discount to fair value to provide to the whale. Momentum trading into that will not be profitable unless...

If you are profitable you are by definition providing liquidity on the timescale you trade on. (Whether you actually use market orders or limit orders is actually irrelevant.) Momo trading is generally only profitable when it contributes to price discovery as deviations from fair value will...

Real wealth is produced, it's just indirect. Making the financial markets more efficient frees up resources to be used in more productive ways. What do you think would happen if most of the big liquidity providers dropped out of the market tomorrow to become sandwich artists? (that is a "real...

You quoted my post but it seems like you didn't read half of it. If they refund others and not you it is because they don't perceive value in doing so. Maybe you don't generate a lot of commish or you don't give the impression that you are willing to leave for greener pastures. Actually I'm...

Brokers are under no obligation to refund, so it is based on perceived utility for them. e.g. would you leave if they didn't refund, and is the investment to keep you going to pay off in future commissions.

@ZBZB maybe add polygon to your list of recommendations

Lol dude it's literally in your OP in all caps and bold. You aren't fooling anybody

Pathetic.

If capturing inefficiency is bad, reductio ad absurdum, the best market would be maximally inefficient. In other words, one where prices are completely random and unanchored from any fundamentals. Obviously this can't be correct. Actually I would say it's the opposite - capturing inefficiency is...

Lol. If this is a troll its a good one. If real, I see divorce in your future. Clueless and option writing don't mix

If you are a struggling trader what on earth are you doing trading 140K of family money? Why would they give you money and why would you accept it? Hopefully this is just a troll post, otherwise it's pretty scary.

I'm confused. Can you please explain how day/quant/hedge fund trading is "taking from real money accounts" or equivalent to thievery?

By default I would say yes they do. If you think not, then can you explain how those guys make money if their trading is not providing a good (usually liquidity or price discovery) for other market participants that they transact with?

What do you mean by active trading community? I don't think you are really arguing that a world without any financial markets or ability to trade commodity futures really be more efficient than what we have today, are you? Sure if you could wave a magic wand and remove all scammers, chronic...

What is the definition of "building" something? If it's literally, physically building something then most careers build nothing, only a small % of people work in construction. In reality, pretty much no successful traders "Just Trade". They have to build a system, build their skill, build...
