I was talking statistics ... statistically people who trade more actively do worse.

Good analogy, since race car drivers are even more likely to crash and die. Active traders too, more likely than average investor to crash and burn ..

That's basically what I believe too. It's like thinking you're a great driver because you don't crash .. when in reality everybody pretty much thinks they're a great driver, and yet people crash and die all the time.

... and it took like 2 seconds on google to answer that question. Yes, immediately I found services boasting 1ms delays to CME, etc.

I wonder, are there any that boast about low latency to the data sources ? I assume once you get up in the money you can get hosted very close to the exchange data sources.

An edge is a way of declaring to yourself and others that you don't believe past results predict future performance, while using past results to predict future performance. It's like a comfort animal.

The currency conversion is immediate, it has nothing to do with that. "It's important to note that the calculation of a margin requirement does not imply that the account is borrowing funds, employing leverage, or incurring interest charges. IB will only will only generate a margin loan in...

Others may exist, but I've only seen three successful kinds of ventures. 1) The charismatic entrepreneur who lulls everyone into the venture with promises of untold riches and fame. 2) The evil genius who inserts human beings as cogs into his totalitarian machine. 3) The keystone cops who...

Brave, and I wish you luck. Delicate in the beginning, one wrong person and it falls apart, but a few like minded, determined men can change the world. It's a young man's game.

I like the chart for Nestle (NESN) in CHF on Virtx. Normal disclaimers .. not a financial analyst, not giving anyone advice, seek professional financial advice, etc.

There's probably a lot to learn about how the markets are going by measuring the business at Wall Street liquor stores.

I didn't say I refused to listen to any idea that didn't come from a rural person, you're trying to put words in my mouth. I said the policy of universal basic income is something I disagree with, and I know a lot of people in Appalachia disagree with. No, that's just what you keep claiming...

Thanks for continuing to reaffirm my previous point above about how leftists try to delegitimize conservatives as 1) stupid, uneducated (or they just haven't heard the good news yet) .. 2) crazy, evil, or immoral, or 3) easily led by crazy, evil, or immoral people. What you just said is part of...

Again, incapable of actually listening ... You have such cognitive dissonance it isn't even funny. You would sit here and claim to be speaking about issues that the very people who are voting against you are voting against, and not even realize that's what you're doing. The literal truth is...

I live in Appalachia.

Here's the kind of thing that happens when you actually listen ...

TraderGOD you have a good sense of humor, and I bet you are hysterically funny in real life. Please don't change your name lol. Edit .. nobody else who is posting here could be TraderGOD lol ..

You've referred to me in negative terms and claimed I am being disingenuous too many times for me to continue this conversation with you, but I will address this one point and write a final bit to you after that then you can carry on as you see fit. This, what you have posted above, is the "Red...

Yeah I misread you :D

You mean like the make money slowly approach ? :D I've wondered about stocks with very low liquidity that have no bid/ask, what happens if someone who has all month and doesn't care just put a lowball bid out and waited around to see if someone hit it since it's the only bid, then turned right...
