    Help Yourself. Take the Personality Test

    Totally agree. Our past can determine our ability to handle uncertainty. We've all been raised differently and our parents are different types and thus parent differently.

    Help Yourself. Take the Personality Test

    INT means more analytical in your decisions. INF is more subjective and considers the person or the circumstance in decisions. T=thinking F=feeling.

    Help Yourself. Take the Personality Test

    I've known I am an INTJ for decades now. This site is loaded with INTJs and is probably the main reason there are so many stubbornly held views on here. INTJs have a difficult time admitting they are wrong...I'm o.k. with that. What I don't like is the ones who constantly tell everyone else they...

    Donald Trump Will Win!

    INTEGRITY! Does it exist at all with any of our politicians? Both left and right are equally corrupt! The reason most of our politicians get into office is for more power/status and wealth. I've always believed a formula for a more "honest" leader would be someone who doesn't need more power and...

    Is this trading strategy illegal or against some brokers policy?

    First of all...I would continue to do it if it were me, but I wouldn't say anything else about it publicly. Consider this... my parents use to own a business where they would loan out equipment, but it had to be returned cleaned inside and out. People would get lazy and not do their contractual...

    Is this trading strategy illegal or against some brokers policy?

    Tried to connect an indirect variable to the OP. What the hell...took a chance. You must be the idiot because your reading comprehension doesn't come close to your account balance. How the hell did you end up with any money? I gave all the info. and you couldn't understand it. Back then you...

    Is this trading strategy illegal or against some brokers policy?

    You do realize split accounts can help a trader short a crashing stock. Back in 2008 when the vix was over 80, I had a difficult time getting shares to short so I would continue to place short orders over and over until I was filled. I then placed an order to go long equal shares in a separate...

    Is this trading strategy illegal or against some brokers policy?

    I based my opinion on a conversation I had with a broker a few years ago. They said shorting against the box was legal as long as the short position was covered first. If this is true, then long and short the same position in split accounts could be interpreted as deceptive. Maybe this only...

    Key Levels for Silver

    Silver and gold are very interesting at these levels. There are huge short positions on both of these metals and they have profited nicely from a type of artificial event recently. When the Chinese stock market blew up, investors sold commodities to cover margin calls when they weren't allowed...

    Is this trading strategy illegal or against some brokers policy?

    How do full-time traders handle awkward situations when they reveal they trade for a living?

    I was joking about the fear thing. Bonecrusher is a name I acquired as a boxer in college. I was named after a professional boxer called "BONECRUSHER SMITH".

    How do full-time traders handle awkward situations when they reveal they trade for a living?

    I never feel awkward about it. In fact, I kind of enjoy making them feel awkward about it. I've noticed I look them in the eye when I tell them and then I always look away briefly. When I then look back at them I read their eyes to find signals of intrigue. No signal... it ends. If intrigue...I...

    Option chain tells you everything?

    Whats wrong with us? The majority of traders on ET wish they knew someone who made 30k a week. If I did...I wouldn't come to ET telling everyone about it... I would keep it to myself and focus on my friend. Whats the odds someone on ET will know this "30k weekly method" and share it with any of...
