    Hypothetical Question: if crude = $35 next week, would that fix the economy?

    Ofcourse its just my opinion but until the big problems are solved (increasing debt and the cost of servicing it; big balloon payments/liabilities coming in the future); aka balancing budgets and moving the pendulum in the other direction, increasing real productivity by creating new industries...

    CTA Prop Trading Record - Notional?

    Can someone explain what exactly the above statement means in more detail with some examples. These margins are set by the exchange right; for /ES for example the overnight margin is around 5500$; should be same across all FCMs. No? Thanks! -gariki

    Covered Call vs. Short Put

    what logic :D. spindr0 is most likely joking; or if not then he shouldnt be trading options for now. They are both exactly the same trade. No free money here :). -gariki

    Covered Call vs. Short Put

    Another big advantage of selling the put is the cost of trade. Typically in a margin account it ends up cheaper than stock + call position. -gariki

    Activate/Deactivate System?

    Hey Eric, Excellent thread. In essence you have quantified a way to say when the system that you are trading live is not that profitable compared to the swings it is causing in your portfolio and when to shut it down. Excellent. I currently just do it based on the way it feels on my gut; but...

    Trader tax - US vs Canada

    Say you are a profitable trader making say 100k. How would your taxation be in US vs Canada? Also say you have the choice to take either Canadian citizenship or US citizenship; which one would you take? PS: It is said in another thread that its better in canada; trying to understand why.

    The ACD Method

    I wouldnt say any TA doesnt work. There are things that you can code up that incorporate some price action based learnings as well. I believe that there is place for both systems and discretionary to co exist. But the question in this particular case for me was.. how can one say that that...

    The ACD Method

    Maverick, Question for you. Just trying to understand the methodology. I agree that a lot of things in this kind of methodology are kind of subject to interpretation and not clearly defined. But in general thats a pain. Let me take a specific example. So i am going through this video by Mark...

    The ACD Method

    So i am reading about this ACD thing first time; and am still reading through the thread and some videos and here is what i am thinking. comments please.. The basic idea is use the breakout out of the opening range to form a bias and trade in that direction. This sounds very similar to any...

    Monitoring an ATS's performance

    Infact, if you are trading live; another thing you should do (which i did and its very instructive) is code in the fills into the system - worst case. Its easy to do; delay your signals by a tick. Ex: say you are testing on /ES and you get a short signal is at 1225.50; test for 1225.75 between...
