I might have made the same remarks as Tudor-Jones a year or two ago, but I'm now re-aligning my thoughts. I try to change when I'm wrong. I once believed in peak oil, which is completely ludicrous now. I still believe in future inflation, although it's nowhere in sight; maybe I'll be proven...

I don't see financial adviser, trader, or broker on the list. One time years ago I worked for a company that was headed by a psychopath or narcissist (I never really knew him well enough to figure out which he was). He used to demote people. Not fire them, demote them. I think that is...

I do the same. When I paper trade a new system, I put that in the spreadsheet, too. It's amazing how much you can learn this way.

I wish I had a life worthy of leakage. If they leaked my life, they would bore people to death.

Why do you feel you have to day trade these???

Sometimes our time frame is what we need to work on. The shorter your time frame, the more your analysis is affected by noise.

The question is not which strategy, but as Lawrence pointed out, what is your opinion on the UL? If you don't have a way to predict movement (or lack of movement, depending on your strategy) that provides you with an expected value (EV) >0, your options trades (over the long haul) will make...

I don't think I can agree. In the US, education is not a relatively free market like housing. There is one big payer whose contribution dwarfs everyone else's. And the powers that be don't want to change this because it creates an elite club, a priesthood that excludes other people, and it...

That's excellent. Stodgy old American business gets a bright idea (or maybe it wasn't theirs, but they at least acted on it)

What the fearful emotions are really about is this: "Do I really know what I'm doing?" Forget about controlling your emotions and work on your trading plan or system. This consists of 2 things: 1. Find an edge 2. Optimize your money management You need a trading plan that you trust...

A brokerage is not Trader Joe's. They probably are subject to a million rules about how/what they can advertise.

Yes, it may be interesting. Thank you for your comment, Robert. I appreciate how you help a lot of people on this site and sidestep the vitriol.

I'm a doctor but have not practiced for about 15 years; I work in the pharma industry now. They are not soliciting me for a job; it's some freelance gig where you do some training, then go to one of these arbitration procedures. Maybe they got me from a professional list or maybe they are...

I just figured they must be blanketing the US with the letters. I don't think there is anything particular about me.

I am not and have never been a financial professional. Apparently FINRA solicits people from other walks of life to serve as some kind of manager of mediation or arbitration procedures. They have sent me dozens of letters soliciting me for this. Does anyone have experience with it?

Optionistics might have something like this: it would be paid, most likely, but they are not very expensive

Chef, I don't know much about them.

This is not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. It's a matter of facts and mathematics. There is no such system.

Guru, my point is simply that you may have no chance to hedge after the trade is opened. A black swan may appear suddenly or overnight.

I love it when people have a 1-line answer for a 21-page thread. This is absolutely correct. This thread really should end right after Daniel's post. I am not sure how many times I have brought up 1987 on this site, but many. Please don't tell me that it won't happen again. I hope it...
