Yes I’m profitable but I have had some down quarters and it’s important to remember that you’re not going to get everything right. Strategy research and development should take 6-12months and then be a constant feature of your trading. Profitability depends on your strategy — are you trying to...

hey dude. Still looking for some collaboration?

Can you send me samples too? Thanks.

you could benefit from a taking a simple corp finance 101 course...

I believe that account is a troll bot. A low quality one at that — wouldn’t pass the Turing test.

@d08 @Shadetree42 Depends on the size I’m dealing with and the constraint around the ticker. I normally benchmark my fill quality against both (1) vwap of the day and (2) close price. For more tactical trading, my benchmark becomes the vwap of time interval needed for a fill. If I’m trying...

Nailed it. Most “prop firms” that people think of that don’t require an extensive skill set, are making money off of your trading activity, not your pnl. While some do allow for overnight, the bulk of their traders and, and what they recruit for, are day traders. Legit prop firms are mostly...

*yawn* This leads me to think @Innervoice is a Russian troll not designed to spur tension on U.S. based social media (forums).

nice trolling

Pulled from the FBIs database: Race breakdown: Relationship between crime and poverty: Poverty Rates by race: What is your conclusion based upon this evidence?

you're confusing correlation and causation so facts wouldn't work on you anyway. let me know once you are open to a empirical based discussion to find truth. otherwise, you're just seeking confirmation bias or agitation.

The US economy is a "mixed economy" meaning that there are public and private domains. Capitalistic economies have two key features: price discovery through market clearing and property rights. These exist in the US. Policies to encourage greater engagement, to improve access to education, and...

if you are simply trying to capture a positive pnl then you can do this, but all you need is: current value > $ value ytm at purchased price However, this is not the way people trade bonds… lol. Bond yields are the “traded” component, so if you bought a bond at 5% and now it’s trading at 3%...

What’s his ytm Generally you want to own bonds if you think rates will fall, and sell them if you think rates will rise.

Midprice is their better version of adaptive. Use adaptive for option contracts, midprice for equities/futures. It’s just a better way to get filled when you’re doing low size trades. For larger orders, their vwap is meh, but IB does let you use third party algos, and some of them are...

let me clarify: * if you trade low frequency and/or * if you’re a hobbyist and don’t care about excess returns then, you probably do not need many hours in the day. If you’re trying to daytrade fx you’ll need a lot more time. I’m not saying you ever need 80+ hours per week, but if you’re...

you cannot be a part time trader lol. you can be a part-time researcher, but when you are actually trading, it's not a part time gig.

That screenshot is from January. I already posted the screenshot of raging capital ventures who did place a short. You can see the afs and htm portfolio summary in the 10-k. Short interest for the stock went from 1 to 5% by the end of last year. There was some short covering after Jan’s...

going into January earnings, half the street was sell or hold: anyway i don't care to die on a hill here, but my point is just that the information was reflected in the financials and reporting of the company (via conferences, such as that bofa one in Feb). to have called the short, you would...
