I am not short, but I am not establishing any new long positions. I am long VXX and down on the position. I don’t want to sell puts at this level, waiting for a red day. Day-trading has dried up significantly. I am in two day trading chat rooms with similar styles to mine, and both are...

I sure hope so! This drift higher is unbearable.

Is crypto one of those “stupid shit” he is taking about though?

I don’t hate programming (as non-job as you said), but I hate what the industry has become. The commoditization of programming combined with offshoring just makes it no longer rewarding for me. So, yesterday was my last day as professional programmer and today is my first day as “professional”...

One could make a case that doing anything purely for money is prostituting yourself. Maybe prostituting body is better than prostituting one’s soul.

You can try re-cycling shares.

For the record ... it was super easy.

I think his point was, in response to my 100:1 YOLO trade suggestion, that such trades are so rare that it's truly a lottery ticket.

Yeah, unfortunately, it's not very realistic. As you point out, they try to squeeze as much of you as possible. Someone said that "salary is a bribe to make you forget your dreams." I agree with you that doing nothing is not healthy. What I want is financial independence to CHOOSE what and...

Oh, I don't know anything about this. I just asked Robert the question because it was not clear what "data" they are providing. But my guess is that you will use an open-source library to do async calls. I'm not familiar with either products.

@Nobert, I started listening and thought I was in the Twilight Zone. lol.

Do you have a family to provide for?

Thanks everyone, all the responses are really constructive! I don't have any strong disagreements. Basically, the idea is to put a ceiling on your income level so you are not able to spend more. It's kind of like forced savings account, except it's a forced highly speculative account. So it...

What happens in the rat race is that we just keep spinning our wheels - earn more, spend more (aka hedonic treadmill) I have come up with (yet another) genius solution! 1. Let’s say you have a “stable” stream of income from job, business, or trading. 2. You open individual trading account...

Who do you trade with for options?

What about upside? What is expected avg winner to loser ratio?

Market Data?

What you are seeing is BBO from each exchange. But you don’t see what is below best bid and above best offer. For example, let’s say BB on Nasdaq is 100@10.00. You will see that, but let’s say the next level below is 10000@9.99, which you will not see because it’s not BB. Let’s assume 10000...

But I also want to make sure I actually get filled, especially on short lived spikes, so I want routes which has good volume.
