Wow, these are mostly for day trades? Like sweeps which may immediately move the stock, for example ?

I think you are mixing up timeframes here. You may be able to identify on a particular day that there’s algo running, even though it’s unlikely because they know how to hide their activities. But then you start talking about weeks and any news will change price so the algo will just adjust...

So you are averaging down using puts? Why limit upside by selling calls (unless you plan to roll them up)? You are selling 3DTE slightly OTM puts? To me, it’s like placing limit buy order slightly below current price just to collect the rebate. Why not just try to buy the underlying at...

Why?

The title said “for income” but you are thinking trend following which usually implies long term wealth. Why don’t you teach them to sell premium on the index if you want income?

Why buying? What durations (day, week, months)?

Clearing firm has nothing to do with speed, that is broker’s domain.

Randomness? Making money intrrA-day requires skill, but being on the right side of an overnight gap is just luck. I don’t want to offend any swing traders, I am generalizing here to make a point.

You can look at it in a different way as well. Day traders have advantage of choosing when to trade and when not to because they don’t have big fixed costs to overcome. The relatively small share sizes allows for good enough execution. I don’t think of myself as competing against algos, but...

I thought the choice of cleaning firm only matters for hard to borrow availability and sometimes margin. In your case, should not matter.

I would simply like for order handlers to be required to report latency from receiving the order from client to the time order getting to the exchange or internalized. This way you can clearly see who is messing around with your order and how much. It would be nice to have minimum acceptable...

Yeah, but what’s the alternative? I think maybe the SEC will put more restrictions on what Citadels are allowed to do with orders? I don’t think I want brokers like Robinhood be in charge of managing and routing my orders - they can’t even keep up during minor volatility spikes.

Is this goodbye?

Were you the guy assembling dividends portfolio?

There’s a lot of waiting in trading, right? Mentoring someone takes a lot of time and effort and it’s too personal. Running online chat room I don’t think is that much of a distraction. Attending one is the next best thing to being in a prop firm and trading side by side with profitable traders.

Lol. Go try to get funded with your PA vs HFT system and find out which is valuable to pros.

Well they will not go hungry for long before they start implementing the street income equality programs. And nobody wants to get off assistance so that they work slave jobs and end up with same money after taxes, but with worse medical insurance. The problems cannot be solved by raising wages...

I didn’t come across many that provide that. If they do, can they be trusted? Are they complete? If they can/are, it may be very difficult to reconstruct the risks taken to achieve the results. Was it luck or skill? Bottom line, IMO, it’s always a leap of faith.

I think what you are talking about has a completely different purpose. I think OP is talking educational chat room with the purpose is following the trader who runs it. When I look for a trading room, I am looking for specific style which either compliments mine or contradicts mine, but the main...

What do you mean? I would assume all orders go out with their MPID (APCA?). They told you otherwise?
