But IB data latency is good enough for you? What good is fast execution if your signals are off delayed data?

Don’t you need to get low latency data feed(s) as well?

There’s no “correct” way, it’s up to the platform to decide how to interpret them. However, it’s rare to have a trade where a combination of conditions creates a conflicting interpretation.

I don’t want to point you in that direction, but if you buy a call option and pay let’s say $500, that is the most money you can loose no matter what happens. It’s like trading with a hard stop but more reliable. Again, I don’t want to suggest you trade options, just an alternative when trading...

He was suggesting trading weekly options on spy or SPX instead of trading the mini/micro contracts. He said that your risk is much more limited so you can practice with real money.

I was watching another video of Brooks where he said he would recommend people to trade weeklies just to learn without risking too much - interesting.

Well what I meant was that there are many ways to sell OTM premium with very high win rate by nature. That wouldn’t surprise anyone I think. But making consistent money buying options would be more challenging, imho.

I assume you are talking about longing options, otherwise it’s not difficult to have “rarely loosing” options system.

I don’t think I ever heard this before from traders. What is there to memorize? You mean all the pre-requisites for a specific trade set up? I assume you can automate that into scans. Or you mean it’s overwhelming for students to take everything in at once?

How did we get to gamma squeeze? I thought weeklies are mostly traded by day traders and very short-term swing traders, especially ATM ones. Did I misunderstand the question? I assume institutions/pros very rarely would use weeklies. Am I wrong?

Hm, interesting, just gave me a thought: find a good book on criminal investigation. Some concepts may be very useful - like the dog not barking :)

Can you speak of any resources/teachers that helped you with developing this style of trading? Thanks!

If you trade in and out on counters, wouldn’t that be more of scalping than day-swing?

I mean what is your trading style? I know KISS is your motto but other than that - position, swing, day, all of the above? Can’t ask pointed questions if we don’t know what you do.

How?

Can you be more specific? What is a block trade? TWS Time and Sales displays all the sale conditions associated with each trade which can be used to identify where and how trade was executed. I know many traders have two TnS windows with one of them only filtering trades exceeding some...

At 4:42 he gives 99.95%, why not just say high 90’s!? Why have second decimal point precision! Maybe he was trying to be funny, can’t read any emotions in his voice :)

I don’t think you understood my question.

Dude, I never said that!

Here we go. I am not comparing the two individuals, I am saying two traders/educators of PA both use seemingly dubious statistics.
