Oh really, MOST cases end badly? Gonna call bullshit there. Citation needed, big time.

My advice is use your brain. Consider the following people (both borrowers and lenders) can evaluate the probability of success beforehand it is possible that even if a venture fails, loans can still be paid back anyways it is possible that even if loans are not paid back, it doesn't have to...

borrowing != managing OPM though, and shouldn't be thought of as such. It is just increasing leverage on your own trading beyond what your broker will give you. If increased leverage is appropriate then it should not be a source of aggravation regardless of the source of that leverage.

Canada's "leaders" have stated that they want the population to grow to 100 million by 2100. If they get their way then any price drop will be only temporary as land becomes more and more scarce.

If you can trade consistently then roughly speaking your goal should be to grow your capital until you've exhausted all the capacity of your edge. As long as you haven't reached that point yet, borrowing more to trade could be considered. You'll need to trade off the rate of growth with risk...

"Loser mentality" is not some generic insult I am using against you, it has a specific meaning which accurately describes the kind of irrational thinking you are advocating for. It is a mental bias of focusing on negative outcomes and disregarding the positive. I believe your advice is meant to...

No, and it's not a matter of opinion. The statement that family loans should always be avoided is equivalent to a mathematical statement about economic utility. It implies that you have infinite loss aversion and thus cannot participate in certain transactions even if they have positive...

Any loan always comes with a risk of not being paid back, there is no need for any kind of special contract stating this. This is true if you get the loan from a bank or wherever. Obviously all parties involved in a transaction should always evaluate the risk involved. Frankly, categorically...

Okay, I didn't mean to get personal calling people out, but if you read but if you read my suggestion to take a loan and your reaction is "DEAR GOD NO", this is pretty highly suggestive that you maybe don't have personal experience with the level of profitability where loans make sense... at...

Well, you've got a ton of posts so I guess I'll defer to you on your knowledge of the individual forum participants. It also depends what is meant by profitable (profitable every month, quarter, year, how long of a track record etc). But if somebody just dismisses the idea of taking a loan as...

Lol. Congrats on all the likes for this post, but I suspect many of them are from unprofitable traders. Some of us run sharpe ratios in the 5+ or even 10+ range. This is algorithmic trading we're talking about here. For those with a strong edge, loans are highly recommended as it is win win...

If you are good at trading, just get loans from friends & family and pay them interest (something around 6-7% is reasonable). Don't ever try to profit split or manage money, it is a pain in the ass to deal with clients and you will make less than trading for yourself unless you can raise like...

Another thing I thought of: Log scale charts. Perhaps even make log default as linear is misleading for anything other than short backtests. Market orders intraday, or Market On Close (MOC) ? If the system just blindly sends market orders intraday, that will end up paying a lot of spread...

Love the concept. The website and interface is very beautiful. The selection of pre built strategies is quite nice. One big concern I identified is the fact that backtests do not include any transaction costs, especially for the more actively traded strategies this could lead to real life...

Doesn't exactly answer my question, but congrats on your success. No matter how you slice it, mid 7 figs is impressive. Personally I made only 10%, but that's on the whole NW. A very good month for trading indeed :thumbsup:

big numbers, but what % of your networth are these multiplied by?

What I'm saying is that you haven't actually presented any evidence that these signals have an edge, and I explained how you might go about doing that. If you can show that the signal works unfiltered that would be very good evidence. The more filtering that is used the weaker the evidence. (And...

I commend you for having the strategy live on C2 which suggests you at least believe the signal works. If not for that, that I'd suspect this of being a scam... most signals services are scams, after all. The economics rarely make sense because people who actually have an edge can just trade or...

24M shares in only 3500 trades is a HUGE number of shares per trade. Do you consider one "trade" to be one order or do you scale in and out with many orders? If you're really doing 3000+ shares per order then Lightspeed's per-trade commission scheme might actually be good for you. I would be...

google "glassdoor software engineer romania" 4000 RON/mo appears to be the low end (around 1000 USD) if your nephew is only half way done school you could pay an intern rate of pay which is usually around 70% of the starting wage of a fresh graduate
