    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Why do I get a feeling that the banks would get some sort of exemption (while the independent trader takes it uta somehow). Note that the instruments that are primarily used by banks/companies/funds, and not individuals, according to the above, would be taxed at 1/10th the amount. Wink wink.

    Where are the rich private traders?

    And 100% of the downside. Also, trader x at hedge fund creates 100mil of profit off of the fund's zillion dollars. Say he earns 5% of profits from his portfolio. That's 5 million compensation. Say you've got even a $1 million account, you'd now have to return 500% just to breakeven with this...

    Practical Delta In I.B. Risk Navigator

    Haven't used the Risk Navigator much. For those of you who have... It does not account for inverse ETF's. For instance, short SKF will show up as negative delta. I assume there is no way to get the Risk Navigator to account for this and show a short inverse ETF as long delta, thought I'd give it...

    Confessions of a successful trader

    Even this is not necessarily an effective way to confirm anything. Case in point as I recently alluded to on another thread: I have traded profitable for around 10 years now. However, it is UNCOMMON for me to make money in much more than 50% of the names I've traded in a day, and more common to...

    sudden drop in average trade size on emini S&P 10/5?

    The law is not relevant. All but the most religious (the volume of those who wouldn't work on chol hamoed is a trivial and completely insignificant amount - 99+% of jews who work or are actively involved in the markets are people who would work in the middle days) work on the middle days.

    I'm calling it - The Top Is In

    I'll put this out there. This will likely come as 0 surprise to other traders who have been profitable over any extended period of time. I've been trading profitably for around 10 years. Today is a fairly standard breakdown for me: Down in 22 stocks. Flat in 2. Up in 13 stocks. Outside of the...

    Why day traders will never win, Chicago PMI edition

    Most (good) non-institutional traders are not going to sit and wait until the "official" time of a release, read the data, analyze, then make a trading decision based on the economic indicator. They are either positioned into it, or react upon the MOVEMENT, not "data" per se'. It's fairly...

    What do u do to stick to your rules?

    Go to the Ferrari dealership. Go drive someplace where the homes are beautiful and far beyond your financial reach. ....let me know how your discipline is the next time you trade after those 2 steps. If you still can't stick to your rules, quit.

    Assent K-1/tax info problems?

    I have no other real issues with Assent. Firm's been great. This, however, pisses me off. Every year it comes right around tax day. If I get it 2 weeks b/4 tax day, that's an early year. Nothing here yet...
