Right, but the link he provided was for equities. Good topic, so I want it to stay relevant.

Guys, you are mixing options and equities which are different animals. Please narrow this for best feedback.

I don't know about PPT, but the big boys who got stung have enough money to push the stock up to get out of it at a better prices. Given the market is putting a V shaped bounce, I would not be surprised for AAPL to close that gap before it goes lower.

I like Lance's teachings. Not familiar with Brooks. Before I buy anything, I need to understand how the trader handles day to day challenges, what kind of risks he/she is taking. Understanding the RISK being taken is to me the most important part of any strategy. I stay away from (or at least...

I'm interested in firm offering low/mid latency infrastructure for automated equities trading (including high quality data). First loss not a problem. Most just offer generic manual platforms.

They don't list what platforms/tech they use. Do you know?

People who trade with stops often see the stops hit only to see the stock violently reverse. If you make position size too small, you will miss opportunities to make money at turning points which do not happen that often. That is the difficulty I experienced swing trading. I think people are...

Small world! My city of birth. Lenin politely telling me to head West.

So far, not very happy ... Stock => +$227 Spread => -$355 Net => -$128

My, admittedly limited experience, tells me otherwise. I assume for same reason you don't see people investing in below operations. We'll just agree to disagree, no big deal.

I may not have expressed myself clearly, but my point was that an idea worth paying good money for, must scale. Hedge fund will not buy your idea unless they can put significant money into it. A retail trader may buy your idea but will either not pay enough or will stop paying after a while...

Exactly ... big boys are not interested and they are the ones who can offer you real money for your ideas/strategies. But if you want to offer your strategy for easy monthly payment of $9.99 with 100% money back guarantee, then sure. The only thing is that if it works(big IF), I will simply...

Are you saying you would rather sell/pawn your ideas/strategies than trade them yourself? I don't know what your vehicle is but a strategy worth real money should scale far beyond what any other vehicles can offer (except illegal ones of course). The only way I would buy any strategy (track...

Unless your data has problem(s) or you fell for one of many biases inherent in backtests. It's a good first step, but I would start forward testing asap.

Nicely put! (pun intended). But what about using options to enhance (leverage/hedge) stock/futures trading?

I was under impression that dark pools only required to report trades if their volume exceeds certain threshold. Google is telling me otherwise. Had this changed at some point?

Guys, the Options Alpha dude preaches always rolling for credit to a point where you will even get inverted. Opinions?
