    Getting rich in stocks like Dan Zanger or futures like Larry Williams not possible anymore?

    I guess I was on the other side of your trade in 2015 with YANG (3x ETF China bear). I made nice money with it on this position trade when China market crashed. I think it was my best position trade ever. Most of my trades are daytrades. In subsequent years, I tried doing YANG again in small...

    Made a lot of progress, but feel like there's so much more to go...

    I daytrade about 2 hours in the morning. Because I on the PST time zone, it works out to 6:30am to 8:20am. Then rest of day is for "work" and non-trading activities(family, errands, etc.). Now that my trading has improved there are days where my daytrading profits is greater than my daily...

    Are these halts really necessary?

    ThinkorSwim Scanner (TOS Scanner)

    In TOS StockHacker scanner, when you scan it comes up with a list of stocks. Is there a way to link that list to the stock chart. So that if i double click then it charts it? Right now, I have to either type in the symbol in the "Quick chart" or I have to do a right click and go to the menu item...

    ThinkorSwim Scanner (TOS Scanner)

    You are right. I just opened a TDA account put in the minimum amount then downloaded TOS. It's an impressive platform with a HUGE feature set. However, the scanner is not real-time. Or at least it doesnt update real-time. I've also tried Trade-Ideas(TI). TI is the most real-time scanner out...

    IB borrow rate for BIMI 860%

    The synthetic short stock is an options strategy used to simulate the payoff of a short stock position. It is entered by selling at-the-money calls and buying an equal number of at-the-money puts of the same underlying stock and expiration date. I think you flipped your call and puts.

    The Road to Consistency

    Oh geez! The one day I was busy trading stocks and options and missed out on HUGE RALLY in NQ and other futures. Darnit! I know. I know. Shouldn't say that @Overnight. But true. Probably too many things to monitor.

    The Road to Consistency

    GC has been bad for me. Recently I made back some. But now I'm on the stocks gravy train. I'll jump back in GC when the time is right. Wow! I didn't know you were swinging such size. I don't think I could do 100K every day. If I had balls and got in SES and BIMI yesterday then yes. But those...

    ThinkorSwim Scanner (TOS Scanner)

    Thanks for the info. I'm still gonna use IB mostly for futures. Trade Zero for equities. I hope the scanner is fast and real time. I used Trade Ideas before and it's really fast but it doesn't have the flexibility in terms of filter criteria I want..
