When you consider it a game then it's entertainment. Make a little money and have fun!!

Of course it's possible. I've been in a casino where someone won a million dollars on a slot machine. Anything is possible. The question should be is it probable? Don't think so!!

Why not? How does the CME stay in business? As a retail trader you are attemping to do the same thing. Not much different from a second hand store owner.

My products are stocks that I buy and hope to sell at a profit. I look at the market each day and see if there might be what I preceive to be bargains. I purchase them and then offer them at a higher price. My products are stocks and my customers are those who want to invest in stocks. Not...

Trading is a business if you do it full time.

To keep things simple this is how I think tether works. You raise 100 dollars. You buy 100dollars worth of T-bills or other guaranteed security. You print 100 dollars of tether backed by your T-bills. Now you buy 100 dollars worth of bitcoin with your tether. Then sell your bitcoin for dollars...

Doing great. thanks for asking. Life is unfolding as it should!! So you do know someone who had some success trading, how come you are not dating her anymore? (Nevermind it's none of my business) Do you keep in touch and is she still trading? When you say you researched the ES futures market...

I am Canadian. I have no interest in options. I'm well capitalized so the PDT rule doesn't affect me. I swing trade stocks so National Bank zero commission works well for me. I use stockcharts.com in the evening, place my trades and get on with my life. Decisions are made while the market is...

Years ago I traded stocks & futures on TWS, It was the best I could find in Canada at the time. Never used TOS as it wasn't available in Canada at the time. TD Ameritrade shipped my account back across the line to Greenline as I was trading from Canada. Went to IB and never went back to TD...

The S&P has returned around 17% YTD. What would it's sharpe ratio be using what ever risk free return you used?

Why??

For stocks National bank is zero commission. I don't know about options. Not sure about IB. Edit: Options are 1.25 per contract

I changed from investor to speculator because I didn't like the drawdowns. Once capital preservation became the chief priority life became so much simpler.

It means that as long as you are winning you'll keep doing the same thing. Discipline is required after you have a losing steak!

I would guess that you can find everything you need online. The trouble I have with fundamentals is GAAP. There is quite a bit of latitude for accountants to manipulate the numbers to come up with what management wants. ( I've had experience where I've seen it done) The problem is the...

1000 trades over what time period? You didn't mention the trading time frame or how much of the portfolio was at risk per trade.
