    How do human scalpers compete with machines today?

    There is an old saying that "every trade begins as a scalp" . Of course most guys will stay in if the tape and DOM tells them to.

    How do human scalpers compete with machines today?

    Take a look at John Grady on Youtube. He scalps the bonds. I haven't heard of anyone that scalps going for the spread as "scalping" used to be defined. Going for a quick 10 ticks on the 6e or 3 ticks on bonds is what most humans are doing. It is pretty much just order flow trading.

    How do full-time traders handle awkward situations when they reveal they trade for a living?

    I always say I sell life insurance; you would be surprised how quickly we move on to other subjects. :)

    WINDOWS 10

    Yep, reverting to windows 7 is easy. You just go to settings then recovery and it handles everything from there. I attempted to install windows 10 a second time last night with a fresh download. I had the same results. I noticed another guy mentioned Chrome wouldn't work for him and I had the...

    WINDOWS 10

    The best thing I can say about windows 10 is that the rollback procedure works. I installed it and my computer kept locking up. I kept it for two or three hours then rolled back to windows 7. I might try again in six months or so but as it is right now I can't use it. I never got to the point I...

    AR15 advice

    I am not a fan of the AR15. I live in a rural area with lots of trees and brush and the 5.56/.223 round is not very effective in this environment. The .308 which I favor has a bullet weight that is almost three times that of the .223. It delivers more foot pounds of energy to the target at ANY...

    Software for LLC - TradeLog + Quickbooks or Quicken Small Biz?

    If it were me I would set up a simple spreadsheet in excel since all you are tracking are expenses. You do not have customers or inventory and do not invoice so it would be pretty simple. There are plenty of free expense tracking templates available for this purpose. As long as you are...

    US$1 million is not enough for retirement

    I had to Google "Lady boys" just to figure out what you were talking about. (I live a sheltered life... :D ) Seems to me living in Thailand would be confusing as hell especially for a senior citizen. Imagine not knowing for sure that you were admiring a young lady's ass or not. :confused:

    US$1 million is not enough for retirement

    I really like the climate and "alpine feel" of southern Chile. Paraguay seems as if it might be a bit too warm/humid for my tastes.

    US$1 million is not enough for retirement

    1 million in the right south american country might be enough. If social security is still around and maybe a small pension you could live like a king. I am seriously considering southern Chile in a few years.

    Fred Phelps, founder of Westboro Baptist Church, dies at 84

    I hope not. I would like to see everyone ignore this idiot and give him the attention he deserves.......NONE. I suspect right now he is a little bit "warm". :D

    USA broken by the cost of criminals

    The "war on drugs" inflates our prison population. Why are we putting non-violent drug offenders in prison? We CREATED a black market for drugs with another failed attempt at prohibition and the result is the largest percentage of incarcerated individuals in the industrialized world.

    Why don't commercial airliners have parachutes (like the space shuttle) ?

    There is a light aircraft parachute system in production. It is on the Cirrus aircraft. http://cirrusaircraft.com/caps/ Again, if there is an onboard fire you will just burn to death on the way down. Example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf8DYXUOai8
