Fuck this guy and that weasel logic. 2 years isn't enough in that low-security Federal summer camp.

I'll have you know, Mr Bare, lucky tennis shoes ARE a proven edge! See below @ 30:30 (just hit play) :D

This sample set has issues as it's highly doubtful that the majority of equity traders on that site were logging their results prior to probably 2010. I mean pretend we took a similar sample back in 1998-2000 - it would show that equities were the absolute only way to go, fast forward 5 years...

It's not really a surprise when this is everyone's collective expectation. I do think it'll bounce but I don't think it'll bounce nearly as high as others think. My expectation is that we hit 2120 and then head back down.

Who in their right mind would ever want to work that job? Seriously - I'd rather make 20k/year than to have to work that job, ever. It's not worth it if your entire life is dominated non-stop by a job. It's not healthy, you don't get to have a life, and all the money in the world wouldn't make...

Haha yep, futures/forex suck and equities are where it's at! Lemme just go load up my account on AAPL, TSLA, AMZN, BABA, and whatever else hype seems to be propping up the Qs. (continues trading futures and fx exclusively)

What possible advantage would big money have in dumping hard? It benefits them more to play the headfuck game and make money off the back and forth. I mean heck you could almost just make retail disappear entirely and you'd probably still have the same action.

That's not what I was saying. I was saying VIX explosion *is* going to be painful because you're short vega right now and most likely depending on leverage to make any decent coin. The only trade I agree with *is* ATM straddles. OTM strangles in a low vol->high vol env? Good luck. I also highly...

Something tells me (mainly your surety) that you're selling 15 delta OTM premium (probably puts) and are playing the steamroller game. This is a fallacy. You still have to have a take on the direction of things, which might not be price. You may not think you have to care about price, but you...

And you literally have just about nothing substantial to even assume that scenario from in the first place.

It's called a marketable limit order. You submit a limit order for the inside ask price which is effectively the same as a market order but if the market suddenly decides to pull all asks and move them up 100 ticks (strange?) you won't get filled. Atleast, with IB, I don't even see anything...

Yeah, it's kinda like trading a credit spread. Sure to result in death or, at the very least, disfigurement. Nope, but I've eaten my fair share of it! Great stuff.

3 of these particularly stuck out to me: On 17 January 1995, in Kota Baru, Malaysia Mat Hussin Sulaiman, 76, was killed when the monkey he used to pick coconuts from trees hurled a coconut, splitting his owner's skull open[35] On 15 August 2001, in Kampung Tanjung Badang, Malaysia, Mamat...

Forget about auto-exercise, I think the more important issue here is the quality of beer you've been drinking, xandman.

Gotta love Matt Levine - this Nedev guy is straight up LOUSY at investing/trading AND fraudstering.

Not if he's trading something that is a non-major. Also chart the spread between the futures and spot sometime.

My take is that if it looks and smells like bullshit - then it probably is. Back in 98-99 there was actual hiring with plenty of people working. Then look at what happened when the music stopped - total annihilation. Now take the comparative overall equity index valuations and combine it with an...

Yes. What pair?

Except that violates law of the jungle and hence never will come to fruition.

Well I think it goes without saying that you reference the instrument. For instance, I scaled out of the last contract on a 2-lot ES short for 150 ticks total yesterday. I just prefer to work without the dollar figure in the foreground as it places explicit importance on the dollar amount -...
