Hello, I use multiple trailing stops and profit taking orders without linking them. So for example, let's say I have 300 shares position and I have 3x100 trailing stop orders and 3x100 share profit taking orders active. What happens from time to time is that I inadvertently get my position...

And that's where they should have stayed! It is outrageous to monopolize distribution of what is essentially public data. I support any effort to provide public with timely and accurate data at affordable prices. I would rather send my orders directly to hfts than to a middle man to re-sell...

Guys, I am going to state my current opinion here and I hope you provide some good points as to why it's wrong/ignorant. Options market was created for hedging (just like Futures market). It is not suitable for retail traders with below exceptions: 1 You have a small account and you want...

Don't insurance companies use reinsurance companies? How is this done in finance? GS offloads risk to "Muppets?" I agree, but this week's price action feels like market is expecting good news soon. Roll'em up :) (Who the f@#$ asked for my opinion!?)

More like a paragraph :) Sorry I am knocking it down (for myself that is) due to it being too subjective.

Shit, am I too late? In case you have better things to do than watching the video, here's some insider advise ... Better buy Frozen before time runs out ...

Isn't this what guys who sell premium do ... rolling and waiting for mean reversion to kick in? Isn't it a part of the strategy? I don't know the truth, but I doubt Madoff woke up one day and decide to screw everyone he knew, including family. Most likely he gradually got himself in the exact...

The line that divides winners and losers is oh so thin ...

LOL. I guess not. I know you OPM guys are squeaky clean :)

I'm not defending her actions, but I can understand why Tom would not "turn" on her immediately. If your friend got into trouble with IRS, would you disown him/her? I don't think so. There are so many cases of people looking for unreasonable returns and loosing their shirts that I no longer...

I knew someone would go there :) This business has lots of luck in it. Many people survive or blow up based on market turning at the right/wrong time. You get sucked in quick sand trying to survive and do best for clients and your family. The ones who make it look like geniuses. The ones who...

I have not followed either him or her and not defending either. However, if you are a true friend, you may do whatever it takes to help. Most of the time it is not black or white ... She might have overcome these kind of situations before and maybe got shut down at the worst possible time...

Oh, it's an average.

You did a nice analysis! I was looking at MAE but it doesn't seem to reflect that for some reason. Yeah it's hard to deal with this emotionally, to me anyway. But I think lots of automated systems do this ... Increase the stops to bump up win rate and hope that the losses don't cluster.

I don't know what is the norm, but if I see high win rate and avg winners equal to losses(holy grail), it tells me that it's either bogus or requires heavy tech to achieve. When I see a system that takes many quick profits and occasional relatively big loss, that is more realistic to me.

I am surprised you would even be interested in looking at it. If you can be program, why!?

I remember questioning your previous stats because your winners were equal to losers with very high win rate. The above stats - avg looser almost 3 times larger. That looks more realistic. So which is the norm?

Lol. If you are suspecting the broker is trading against you, hiding your orders will not really help. All the broker has to do is collect your "puking point" statistics :) If you were running a bucket shop and noticed that lots of positions got opened at/around the below price, do you...

Nothing new here, just nice article. Anyone has anything to say about Maverick? Are they part of T3 (otherwise, why are they praising competitor)? https://mavericktrading.com/what-is-proprietary-trading/
