    Any firms similar to Tower Hill Trading still around?

    Yeah, I know. I think they started you out with a max of 5 shares at first. May have even been a sim account. But they are no longer around, so maybe that didn't even work.

    Any firms similar to Tower Hill Trading still around?

    My understanding was that they accepted anyone with a heartbeat, and they started you out with ridiculously small size. And there were no costs to the trader. But I do remember a thread on this board about a pretty questionable contract. But here's the deal. The niece (college student with...

    Successful trader's personality

    http://www.humanmetrics.com/hr/jtypesresult.aspx?EI=-22&SN=-16&TF=31&JP=16 Interesting. I had never seen this before. But the detailed description of INTJ seems pretty accurate as to who i am.

    Monopoly Is Letting You Vote on 57 New Pieces to Add to the Game

    Can they combine the penguin and the cowboy hat? That would get my vote.

    Need some help with pyramiding

    I'd like to bump this thread. I've been in a chat room lately where a guy claims to have added to winners on an automated basis yesterday (Big crude sell off, 1.3.16) I can grasp a discretionary approach, but automated? I don't get it. FWIW, I used to be a mean reversion stock guy. And now...

    The S&P will see 1000 before 1100

    Yes it does. It used to be me. Going with the flow is hard enough. But Jesus, picking a direction and putting it on a message board? I don't have that ego anymore. Thank God.

    What do you guys do when you're not trading?

    There was an old thread like this. It's nice to see a new one. Joe Rogan lately. Many cool youtube interviews by him. But in a very small corner of one of my 3 screens, so I'm basically just listening. But if i hear something crazy, I'll go screensize real quick. And i have to be honest...

    This Loyal Dog Waited With His Family’s Belongings After They Abandoned Him on the Curb

    There are so many worthless people in the world. My lab who I got from a shelter years ago is 13 now. He had trouble getting up 2 steps yesterday, and my girlfriend immediately came and hugged me because she could see the tears starting to form, just because I know the inevitable is coming. I...

    Joe Rogan's interview with Dan Bilzerian.

    The good part starts around 2:15:00, where some trading psychology analogies begin. Especially how he can recognize when someone sits at the table who subconsciously wants to lose. Bank roll management, hating to lose, etc. are also part of it. Nothing is visually crude, but it's a typical...

    Tony Romo is Done, Good!!!

    I am a die hard Packer fan, and I hated to see Teddy Bridgewater go down. When we win, I want to beat them at their best. When you are happy when the opposition gets hurt, you are admitting you are a total fucking pussy.

    Why don't they just split the stocks? ($AMZN $GOOG)

    I can't imagine how frustrated you must be with BRK/A. It has never split. https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=brk%2Fa

    Who Negotiated A Trade Of 10,000 Contracts With A Small Cap?

    Looks like the 10k lot was the Sep 30s @ 2.27 and the Dec 35s @ 1.29 based on TOS's time and sales. I honestly don't know the answer to your question, but you brought up some old memories of gamma scalping. We would buy the puts first, knowing the market maker would sometimes instantly hedge...

    Survey: Financial advisers not so popular with millionaires

    I finally convinced a friend of mine to dump his adviser after he suddenly realized he was smart enough to figure it out on his own, and the annual hit from the fees had a HUGE impact on his long term net worth.
