    Best financial advice I heard regarding trading courses

    That tweet goes right along with the video I posted. I think theirs some truth out there, theirs definetly a lot of info out there that has put me in a better direction then when I started. Edit: of course is this stuff was all free that I’ve used. Problem is people tend to take something...

    Toxic order flow against limit orders

    It’s a good podcast. Basically he gave up using resting limits and just uses marketable limits. You place a limit on an exchange, your orders in queue with a market maker/HFT but unlike you, their executing off exchange on purchased order flow, and using your limit to rest on, cutting their...

    Spreads - IB / Interactive Brokers

    The spreads will be the same as any broker. Fills will depend on order route.

    IBKR Smart route and order fills.

    Very interesting. I use Questrade for registered accounts. (Mostly ETF dollar cost averaging) and always found it strange how I never saw price improvements like TDI. On their platform I can see where my orders were executed and mostly it’s TSX and MATCH. Now I thought this was weird that they...

    Identifying a possible option strategy

    The 108 call will cost more then the credit received for the 110. Just because the strikes are 2$ apart doesn’t mean your loss/gain is 2$. Option pricing is more complicated then that.

    Tastytrade, Peak6 invest $10 million in new exchange

    I don’t see the market for it. If my account/risk tolerance could handle swing trading futures I’d be super thrilled. I’d be ecstatic if stocks went to a central exchange. Not ever trading futures, the commissions/fees I’ve seen advertised seem very reasonable. I can’t see any new exchange...

    NQ, seriously?

    Nasdaq weights are a little whacky. Microsoft, Apple and Amazon make up almost 30 percent or the index. Throw in google Facebook and your at near 40 percent. Highly concentrated these days.

    Robinhood traders LOL

    Not a RH fan but how do you get a better fill on a resting limit order sitting on an exchange.

    question about getting data from yahoo finance

    If your looking for Australian and U.S stock EOD data, https://www.premiumdata.net/ Never used myself but as an Amibroker user I see positive reviews all the time. Especially on their delisted data which can be hard to find. They even built in their plugin for Amibroker historical index...

    If markets are a Zero-Sum game, is the PPT making $ or subsidizing everyone on net basis?

    Next thing we’ll be talking about if the moon landing happened, is the earth flat, and where is Bigfoot right now.

    The best trade is staying in cash -

    Cash might not be a bad trade, holding USD might not be the best move in this environment.

    Just remember 2008, everything was fine

    In Peter Schiffe’s case wasn’t he going on about the impending crash years before. What’s the trade in that case. Go short for 2 years, avoid the market for two years? I recently watched him on the Joe Rogan podcast and he has made some good points on Fed policy and how they re-inflated the...

    The market is seeing something we dont see yet—

    Trump should’ve left his name off the market. His candidacy was all about the economy wasn’t great, the unemployment numbers were fudged, etc. He got elected and all of a sudden the unemployment numbers are the greatest ever, the stock market is the greatest we’ve ever seen because of his...

    I am done with Futures... going back to Forex

    This is way more interesting then anything on CNBC. Good entertainment. Kind of reminds me of Soeswasbetter, I enjoyed his rants to himself about his stock picks.

    I am done with Futures... going back to Forex

    This debate is a good read but perhaps you guys should consider the fact that ES and NQ are derivatives. I think the underlying move of the stocks constituting the indexes may have a bigger part then any size lot. How about you guys take some tick data, construct the indexes from tick data...

    The Fascination with "Bear Markets" and "Calling Tops'

    I've noticed on trading forums this immense passion everyone has for bear markets. I've never traded in a bear market as a disclosure but what is the big deal? Besides 2008 where I don't think a stock bear market was the real issue, the possible collapse of the financial system was the big fear...

    ALGO chart patterns. Post TIMEFRAME/MKT and discussion

    ... a consolidation/pullback pattern is disruptive? This pattern has existed for decades. Think if you were a mutual fund building up a large position, would you just buy up the order book, or pace your order and relax your buying pressure to see if you can get a better price. It’s a...

    What is "after-hours trading"?

    Something I’ve never looked into is why liquidity is low. Is it because designated market makers can’t trade, they don’t want to trade? Because of the amount of participants in closing auctions shutting it down after? I’ve never spent any real time searching but trying to find any legit...

    Short survey for market research regarding Real-time Futures market data

    I was commenting on how you can’t bypass the exchange fees. Data distribution isn’t the expensive part, it’s the exchange fees. I was commenting on the fact I can’t just download data from my broker and then sell the data legally. But your previous edit mentioned it wasn’t CME data so you...
