Hopefully ours and not Russia or china is my response to the UFOs. I know there has been activity out of Area 51 and the area where airspace was blocked to and from the Pacific Ocean and most likely out to the East also. Very possible we are testing the abilities of new aircraft against(maybe...

I tell them I trade futures, stocks and some options, and manage the household investments. Then when I get an eye roll or what the "what stock do you recommend" question, I tell them I read and edit my sons papers, play with the dog, and similar to jnbadger I throw in how great it is to hang...

Had the first shot of Moderna vaccine today. So far no reaction, but I will post if anything comes up, or after the 2nd shot in a month.

It would be better if it was setup so traders could be part of a firm and take advantage of the 60/40 tax treatment for futures instead of having to take it as ordinary income.

Thank you for the follow up!

I said he is a Trump hater, but he acts exactly like Trump with his childish attack posts. I would say they both come off as very insecure and immature. Sorry to the thread owner, this has gotten off topic. I'm done polluting your thread.

He comes off very Trump like in his sad attack posts, a guy he professes to hate, but seems to emulate. I think he knows what he is talking about in options, but in a lot of what he throws out on other things, there are inconsistencies, and contradictions. I'm on his block list, I assume for an...

I have had this happen a couple times in the last two weeks.

Lonefutures, when you get an update on how it is going tobe handled I'd appreciate if you would post. I am looking at moving my IB account and Tradovate is on my list. I like the platform, but I don't need to deal with issues.

In the last couple months I have been trading the YM on more of an intraday swing trade. Very nice smooth moves for me at least on longer term intraday trades. I actually find the fills in the ES much more reliable than YM. I have had a few trades where I didn't fill a full position on the YM...

I remember reading about a few people who had figured out how to improve their odds on scratch offs, and did pretty well for awhile. I think they were watching to see whether the big prize tickets had been redeemed and if the tickets were near the time they would be done in the market they would...

Won $600 on a scratch off that was a X-Mas stocking stuffer about 20 years ago. I thought it was a dud, but fortunately my Dad took a look and saw it was a winner. Side note, not that he will see it, or care, I have a buddy I grew up with that teaches at New Trier.

Funny, I have a friend who lives off just over $15,000, and he has a partial ownership in a plane. Mortgage paid off, internet only no cable or Netflix subscriptions, driving the same car for 10 years now.

Thanks, I'll have the son check it out.

We have a son who is heading to Tuscaloosa and the U to work on a PhD come the fall. Wondering if someone has any thoughts on good areas to live within reasonable distance to campus. He has gotten some ideas from the professor who he will be working under, but would be great to get some other...

Added this to the list after reading about it over the weekend. If the markets keep moving the way they are this year.... Game Composites | The world's finest aerobatic aircraft.

One more for the day,

I used to reference Renko charts, before I switched over to IB. I found them useful and another reason I can see for either having another feed to use IB or simply switching brokers.

These firms are not actual prop firms so I think you need to stop making the comparison. An actual prop firm isn't going to give 99% of the people that try these tests a second thought of employment. They are hiring proven traders. I don't necessarily agree with these firm's as I think too many...
