I don't understand ... What about this market that is causing problems for hedge funds? I was always under impression that they thrive on volatility. Is this just yellow journalism? https://nypost.com/2018/12/16/major-hedge-funds-are-scrambling-to-prevent-financial-wipeout/

Cheat the system? So I send the order to TOS and pay per ticket charge plus per contract charge and ToS will send the order to same Citadel and will get a kick back from them too!? So they will f@#$ me on both ends!? Tell me please why sending a limit order for free is a bad deal? If you have...

He has me blocked too. I am starting to think it's a batch of honor. Maybe Baron can add that little statistic to the profile page?

I'm not really picking o you. What percentage of your net worth are you putting in? How many black swan events have you lived through? Some people never get caught and look like geniouses. Doesn't mean they discovered a secret.

Hold on ... You are trading differently in sim vs. live? Why would you do that on purpose? How about scaling in/out? Just trade your plan!

What kind of smalldik would do something like that!?

You found a way to protect yourself from the unknown? Awesome! How much money are you willing to put under risk to test your theory? The black swan theory or theory of black swan events is a metaphor that describes an event that comes as a surprise, has a major effect, and is often...

Tick tock ... Tick tock. I know how to do it safely too (and I know nothing about options) ... Allocate such a small portion of your portfolio that it doesn't matter. What's your definition of black swan event ... 20-30% correction? It's funny to hear people assume that numerous operations...

Obviously you are not their intended audience. Can't argue with their success though. Example please! I am too synical to believe in any of this marketing BS. Things change too quickly and what was once rarely still is.

Dude, it's like totally free! You can do your research on TOS but send limit orders via RH. In case of emergency hedge via TOS or whatever. Front end is not the important part ... Backend is where the magic happens. They are the future of retail brokerage. Soon you will have no choice unless...

Thank you for that review! I am sure many here will find it useful in making their decisions. There seems to be fewer and fewer options as far as prop shops for an average trader wanna be :(

I don't condone it, but we live in a world of limeted resources. I believe someone mentioned that IB has different levels of customer support based on account size. Makes perfect sense even though I m on the disadvantaged end of that :)

Spot on. Not sure if we will see this again though. Just notice how every time there's a relatively small spike in volatility, ET'ers complaining that their charts are slow or not working. Imagine trading like that every day ... Huge losses and missed opportunities! There are degerees to...

If their back end crashes nothing you can do about it. Keep in mind that a tech provider can easily separate VIP customer from your avg joe. It's only fair as far as allocating resources is concerned.

Agreed, but can they be a legitimate foot in the door? Probably not. Can they teach you to trade? I m doubting that based on their *free* content at least.

I never intended to troll, but this is not a math forum ... This is a trading forum ... As in making money out of hypothesis. If you can offer us books on how to make money predicting when volatility will mean revert, than please do. I'm not even touching the whole arbitrage thing...

I don't know, but based on books, social media, and free seminars, I am not impressed with them. Not sure if they ever made real money outside of the internet bubble era.

So you all guys saying bear markets provide more opportunities, but nobody seems to say that they are also much more difficult to trade. Taking advantage of volatility in a bull market is very different than bear market even for day traders. Not to mention day traders have less stocks to...

Sorry, is that not allowed? Why? We are talking Futures, right?
