Actually, this is a good question - are there really legal consequences in calling out own trades? I am not aware of any such rules imposed by regulations. Claiming unsubstantiated performance is against the rules. But if you can show regulators proof of claimed performance, you should be ok...

That’s not fair. People who are learning do not have the knowledge/experience to make their own decisions. If they did, they would not need to be in the room. When I am in a room, I want to see how experienced trader makes real time decisions based on the current context. Anyone can play...

I think the problem is that these pump and dumps are favorite of retail traders with small accounts. When they make money they are geniuses but when they loose they run to SEC and complain about manipulations. Options on real equities are played by pros as well as retail, so it’s a “fair” game.

Wow, didn’t expect him to say that, but I agree. Long term, I would like to build my stake large enough to allocate about 20% to premium selling and the rest to swinging only when there’s exceptional opportunity.

Congrats! I assume (I think you actually mentioned this) that this 100/day is coming from utilizing very small portion of your capital. If true, safely scaling it to 3,5,10 times this amount should be within reach. Agree?

Forgive me if it’s obvious, but how did he blow up? He was long stock and long puts. Broker liquidates stock and books the loss. Then the stock goes up without him and the long puts expire worthless?

So your opinion is based on scalpers you know? You speak as though you got this game figured out, so please tell us what your style of trading is.

Wow, not only you have statistics on day traders, but it’s also broken by trading style! Maybe you can define the term “scalper”

I just found it funny that he came to see what other people would recommend, and the next thing he posts 1.6M gain but no mention what he did.
