As of their morning note and last day's aftermarket note they were more neutral than anything, but described IV crush after a beneign CPI as a possible tailwind for equities. Of course, in hindsight, something happened after first half hour. I don't have their realtime info so I can't say...

The irony is trickle up economics is what actually happens over time, and it is what is supported by data on wealth concentrations in the US and elsewhere. Trickle down is a fairytale to pacify people.

Serious CFD platforms hedge their net books. (If they got one guy that is long 1 contract and another that is short 1 contract of the same instrument, the net is zero and no risk to them. Similar for strongly correlated instruments in money units. So ultimately they would have no reason to ban...

A corollary, if you have the choice, don't wait until age 30 to begin learning, e.g. because you think you don't have enough wealth yet. Your best chances to "get it" is as a teenager. And even if you decide to be an investor, you get an extra 10-20 years in the market which can be the...

Aligning yourself with modern day Sauron doesn't on balance look very good, regardless of whether you're a historical victim of colonization or not.

So my first recommendation is, research what's out there already, as the idea isn't new. My primary issue with similar platforms I've seen is, what does the user gain? If you have actually experienced traders/investors on it, that's potentially a treasure trove of data. At the very least, the...

Thanks for the history lesson, makes sense. I only started reading WSB a few years back, and Reddit seems a lot like yesterday rather than tomorrow. There's not much of an advantage of the upvoting format on most topics IMO since it tends to mute sincere debate since disagreeing views just get...

Making less sense than padutrader is an accomplishment.

Averaging up like that are good for the rare special circumstances when most market participants are caught on the wrong side and the trend keeps going for hours for clear reasons. You will probably recognize it when you see it (of course having the balls to go through with leaning in...

I don't follow Reddit very closely, what changed you mean?

Oh, I don't disagree. I was just commenting on this particular issue raised by OP.

I would agree. Ex ante, I had a sneaking suspicion I was getting better answers back in December-January compared to a month ago (from the default GPT 3.x that is). The obvious hypothesis would be a performance reduction from OpenAI's side to cut spending as @Businessman pointed out. That is a...

Options were introduced as a tool to solve certain problems; originally, problems that came with owning or attempting to short stocks, i.e. because with a plain stock your exposure is across the full range of price movement. Then, it turned out that options enable a whole universe of advanced...

The perceived issue in your PS is valid, but his point is the opposite of what you think and actually reinforcing your point. One may implement pattern recognition of varying quality or use ML, but the fact is many actors in the market have already taken that to extremes. So where's the edge...

Their relatives want to visit etc. So there's a signficant need to have an embassy. Although recently the rules on visitors from certain countries from the area (like Iran which I am familiar with, as my GF is from there) have become unreasonably harsh.

Presumably a rather low number. BTW, a guy receving Swedish unemployment benefits turned out to be a minister in Iraq. So he was a "sorta Swede" I guess depending on your definition.

146 000 Iraqis live in Sweden as opposed to 140 000 in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_diaspora 'Humanitarian superpower' right here. (An ironic phrase these days.)

To answer OP, nope, I didn't have any that lasted. My _guess_ would be it depends on one's social circle. Linda evidently is connected to discretionary traders. In the same vein, there are obviously successful quants but they don't e.g. frequent ET that much (although you can find a few that...

Good try, but returns can be negative. Risk: Ex-ante, you take on the risk of a future random return. Return: Ex-post, an actual outcome, positive or negative.

Yeah was about to write this: The concerning bit is the OP writes "make X/day", because financial returns are not well behaved (not even normal). The make X/day guys either forego a lot of potential by quitting once reaching X, and/or tend to risk asymmetric left tail returns that aren't...
