    Competition in this field - programming

    I don't think I came across any of those. I did come across people who were saying that below $X dollars an hour they cannot maintain their current lifestyle and are not willing to work in the field. By lifestyle I mean mortgage, family, etc - not luxuries. There must be a threshold below...

    Out Today Market Making Scalping Manual

    Thanks for offering to answer questions. Why do you say "temporarily mean revertive?" On the market making time scale, isn't it pretty much always mean reverting? Don't MMs, under normal market conditions, have the means to revert it enough not to loose money?

    Competition in this field - programming

    How do they game it? Couldn't agree more. Romania is actually one of the outsourcing places with very capable people. @Aquarians, are you saying they just expect you to work for peanuts because you are in the region? I was always under impression that overseas developers are gaining at the...

    Competition in this field - programming

    That sounds strange. Maybe it's about your specific country? It's funny, I found a project on Upwork (or Guru or whatever) that I thought could be interesting. I wanted to contact the guy. They tell me that I need to buy credits that I can use to contact the lead since he did not contact me...

    Paid investor groups

    It used to be that to learn day trading you had to join a prop shop in a major financial hub. Internet opened this up to the world and now you can get a glimpse of how people trade live. That's awesome. Of course there will be good and bad, that's the nature of internet. Of course people will...

    Are brokerages supposed to compensate for system outages?

    I'm sorry this happened to you, but I think you know the answer. No, trading involves risk which you are willingly undertaking. Every disclaimer says that you should not trade money you cannot afford to lose. That's why brokers ask for your income. Every platform has a disclaimer that sh*t may...

    Short answer: fast retail/prop has no longer technology advantages they used to have over slower retail and buy-side. Longer answer/discussion: First, let's make sure we define scalping in the context of this thread. Here's one of his videos: "It's effectively a style of market making"...

    TD Ameritrade Held Me Hostage In a Bad Trade- Where to go now?

    Common guys, they have a glitch. Probably due to too many people moving over to them. The capacity issues can be easily fixed. My benchmark for execution speed is Warrior/Ross (because his strategy is latency sensitive) and he is able to make money trading with TOS. None of the brokers are...

    Let's see him make a video trading first. As everyone knows, scalping has become very difficult especially for retail.

    Any data feed that reports the current halt price level for a given equity?

    The bands are available on level1 feeds as separate messages from SIPs that most vendors use. But I don't think they propagate them. IB doesn't. I don't think @Polygon.io does either, but maybe they would if you asked them.

    Besides Jigsaw itself(many good free videos), I think this guy is doing similar style trading https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/out-today-market-making-scalping-manual.339923/ Last time I looked at No BS, it included actual trading sessions with the guy. Did you see him trade his...

    Meaning there not many questions? I have one - is this normal amount of trades for you, or it's just the virus + earning = opportunities?

    There is any tool to find stocks with largest and lowest bid ask spreads ?

    Right, people may want it but not enough to pay for it :) It would be interesting to set something on the cloud and charge people some small amount per query (or small monthly subscription) and see how it goes. Could grow into something more.

    There is any tool to find stocks with largest and lowest bid ask spreads ?

    Writing is not the issue, access to complete real time market data is. If someone is getting streaming tick-by-tick data for all stocks, they can collect these kind of stats and provide it as a service. I assume that this would be considered derived data, so one does not have to get any...

    Best option strategies to learn ....

    The reason I asked about deltas is to get approximate odds of the trade. ICs are often referred to as 10 delta or 30 delta. The Risk Reward may be good, but it's meaningless without the win rate. So I was wandering what win rate was priced in for your example. If you don't pay attention that...

    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    Right, I like his approach and this thread is interesting. I'm not (nor are you) trying to discredit him or anything like that, it's just every strategy has weaknesses and it's important to understand where they lie. With averaging down, there must be a cut off point unless you initiate trades...
