What do you use to program these FPGA devices, and how painful is it (compared to high level languages)?

About 10,000 hours of practice.

To justify trading with the 15:1 leverage, your must have Sharpe ratio of at least 2. Your Sharpe is negative (since you have already lost 30% of your account).

Trading for "excitement" is a big red flag.

The figures in that IB statement do support your story. First, I thought your thread was some type of satirical expose of the "I am a loser" narrative. Then, I thought you were a sophisticated scammer with some plot to extract money from the unsuspecting ET audience. Then, I thought you were...

Baron: your enterprise (aka EliteTrader) is turning into some kind of freak show. Make me a moderator, and I will restore order.

I was actually referring to the gullibility of the posters who took you seriously.

Clearly, some posters don't have a sense of humor, and Redsails will take full advantage of that. This will be amusing to watch.

I hope you realize that the moment you either buy or sell, you'll be 75% down on the trade, because of the bid/ask spread.

You've calculated the P&L on an unspecified trade. This makes no sense to me.

The strike price is fixed for the life of an option contract. The bid/ask prices continuously change. I look forward to it.

What was your fps (frames per second) rate while playing video as part of running the performance test?

There are quite a few of us out there.

Why does everyone in the world want me to "signup", "register" and "login"? What makes me so important?

That's how it's designed to work. To evaluate your performance, they need to calculate the stats on your risk and returns. The access that they get to your brokerage account is a non-trading access. You can think of them as an auditor.

Thanks, Handle123. I will look into it. Are you a participant here: https://caldaro.wordpress.com/ ?
