    how to learn trading?

    I will say a couple things about this. I'm an amateur mathematician so I can relate trading to the study of mathematics. When you just start out trying to learn something that is really complicated and deep, one of the first things you realize is that you can't make big comparisons. The big...

    Why is deflation more common?

    This is gonna be a long answer - it's not a simple question. One of the big reasons is because of financialization. It's a big word, but essentially it means that household budget items and the medium and long term goals of a typical American family are being financed. This has been a...

    how to learn trading?

    You need knowledge, an edge, capital, and time to make it work. Then you need to be smart about risk. Gotta have good trading software. I think the best markets are interest rates and index futures. The best traders know dirty tricks and secrets. But, these are usually complicated and hard...

    Is Technical Analysis a joke??

    The ideas from TA work very well. Momentum, detrending, and relative volatility. But, only smart traders know how to really use this stuff. If you can put these ideas together with some professional level knowledge then you can get a real edge. Examples of professional level knowledge.***...

    Is Technical Analysis a joke??

    Couple things on this. The first is that you are competing with them whether you like it or not. The action on longer timeframes is still just a meta outcome of HFT and algo trading. Competing against the best quants in the world is the greatest challenge there is. These guys are not...

    All evidence points to Wuhan labs

    This little factoid, if widely disseminated, could very well become hugely consequential. It's suspicious, to say the least. This thing could get much worse. The latest news is bad. Mutations could have been underestimated...

    Financial Engineering for retail traders

    The vol in energies right now is ridiculous. I don't see why people like trading calendar spreads so much. Especially energy calendars... I would much rather trade an index spread, rate spread, or a rate / index spread. Tradestation 'FuturesPlus' is a spread trading offering partnered with TT...

    Spread Trading

    Yea for example, you can make a NQ/ES trade in BasketTrader (and save the ratios for quick retrieval) and also have hotkeys to adjust each leg of the ratio on the fly. I don't know how to set up triggers/macros/algos that will execute these types of things automatically (based on the value of a...

    Spread Trading

    TWS BasketTrader. Also, you can just assign instrument specific hotkeys. I have hotkeys for index and rate futures trading. You can choose almost every single detail of the execution using the hotkeys. It's pretty good for short term holds.

    Riddle Me This - Wuhan is Ground Zero but Beijing/Shanghai OK..

    It's not over yet... One of China's newest battlegrounds against coronavirus is the northeastern province of Heilongjiang and the 80,000-person city of Suifenhe on the Russian border. Dozens of the country's newest cases returned through the remote, frontier crossing. The border is now...
