"of I had 1000$ where would u put it to make a 1 million dollars" isn't the same as "How to gamble." If I wanted to gamble, I'd look for companies that were in trouble pre-COVID, are heavily exposed to COVID, and have lots of debt, then go short with all you've got. Boeing might fit the bill...

I said something similar in a related post. It's really difficult to truly compare execution between brokers, when a few cents of difference once in a while can easily offset any commission gains. Takes a decent amount of really precise data to do a real comparison. There's also intangibles...

Does it? I was probably 40% long and 60% short; no idea which side had more winning trades -- I'd have to look back at the stats. But *shrug*, it doesn't really matter. When you're in a trade for somewhere between 5 seconds and 30 minutes, macro-market direction becomes less important. I rarely...

Not *that* is remarkable. Most of my trades have been short this month. I'd feel a lot better if they'd been long instead (plus, no pesky uptick rule to worry about).

Sure -- not sure if these will be useful, but: 1. Really tight -- at most 1%, but more often closer to .25% or even less. I rather get out too hastily than stay in too long in this environment. 2. I don't. My entry signals are momentum-related, and exits are a mix of time and profit target. I...

No, I meant “ok, I guess I’ll lack credibility in your eyes then.” I’m still not sure why that would matter to me?

Ok.

That request is another thing I don't get. What could I possibly gain from creating a report, anonymizing it, then posting it? I'd be happy to do that if you pay me for the labor, but if not, I see zero benefit. This isn't WSB, and whether or not I impress random internet people (not that my...

I'm pretty sure the top one is RSI. But more importantly: what is this, and why do you want to know?

I don't get these posts. You don't have to trade index futures to be daytrading. I've been trading just two stocks (one airline, one tech) up and down during the last few weeks, and been doing great. You can have reasonable stops that don't get taken out in seconds and ride momentum up and down...

why? Not holding overnight and trading momentum is a good place to be right now.

For future work of this kind, consider importing into pandas and manipulating tables there (as dataframes). Lot of flexibility.

It was closer to 11 pm, and no indication of a limit up/down condition at that time (feeds were green). My guess is my platform just froze up temporarily. But to be clear, whatever it was, it was just bad trading on my part to jump into an /ES position without checking that order flow was...

I don't trade futures regularly, but I do once in a while, on IB with their standard data subscription. I went short 1 contract a few minutes ago, and boom, my data feed froze. 5 minutes later (5 minutes! In /es time!), data comes back, I'm up just over $600, close right away and thank my lucky...

https://www1.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=2225 I've got data back again, but keeping my algo offline until their system status shows green. Do not want to get stuck in a trade because data has dropped.

The constant halts are what’s making this thing impossible to trade.

Their risk management is precisely why I'm comfortable keeping a large portfolio with them. Different strokes, I suppose.

Oh c’mon, is this the level of ideologically stunted thinking on this board?

Dude, what, no. The U.S. doesn't even get near the top nations here, its healthcare system is happy if it's even considered 1st World. Look at South Korea, Scandinavians, look at the Swiss death rate (they have a surplus of ventilators). Italy is widely seen as having a superior health care...

Naked option? You're buying, not selling, right?
