    From $60K to $600K

    Sorry to read this pile of crap, especially if it is as a result of some tool whiner on ET. As stupid as it sounds your posts kind of motivated me to get back to options and start expanding my trading again after years of just trading indexes intraday with minimal longer term work. I was at the...

    Plane lands fully autonomously for the first time

    I sat jump seat in an MD-80 when the pilots let the plane due a CAT III approach and landing. We were fully VFR and not operating commercially at the time as the pilots and the plane weren't actually certified for CAT III approaches, just equipped with the capability. It was cool, but I will say...

    From $60K to $600K

    This and your other trading threads have been some of the best material I've seen on here in awhile. I have also enjoyed a few of the threads calling out b.s.. Thanks for taking the time and effort to post your work.

    One of my favorite tunes. Hit home for me at a time when I needed to be hit in the head.

    Micros for testing new set ups- like it so far

    Still pretty choppy watching the tape, but for testing it works. Today I filled my test trade, but on review at the end of the day, it looks like it was questionable as to whether it would have filled on the mini. The price traded through my entry in the MNQ, but on my chart for the NQ it didn't...

    Micros for testing new set ups- like it so far

    Yesterday and today I have tested a new set up using the MNQ. Yesterday was a small positive, a b/e minus commission, and today was a larger positive. It gives me the idea I can fine tune the entry or expand the stop after taking a contract or 2 off to give the last room. I usually initiate with...

    Football seats - Upper or Lower deck

    I like the idea of a possible better full field view from the upper deck as well as the leg room and no one in front. Enjoy whatever the choice! I'm at about 10,000 on the Packers waiting list. I started in the 8000's about 24-25 years ago. Then dropped to 23,000, which was followed by a pop to...

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    My wife was accepted to Med school roughly 25 years ago. She decided against as she felt she could do similar work getting her Masters in essentially the same specialty she was looking to go into for a MD. Well, she works about the same amount of hours as a MD, but is making about 1/3 of what...

    Insurance companies are the cost driver of healthcare

    Maybe this should be pushed to Chit Chat as it is part rant, but also truth. I believe the health insurance model we have drives up the costs of healthcare in at least 2 different ways. First of all it is similar to the model of the government getting into the student loan business. As a result...

    Is there anyone here who is self-taught, consistently profitable and confident of continued success?

    Year 16 of full time as of April 3. Have adapted and rewrote, and added to a trading plan a few times. The last 2 years I am hitting the wall of boredom. I may transition more of the day trading account to long term money and more or less retire from the day trading. Main problem is what I want...

    Who rides motorcycles here? Lets see them!

    Riding season in Wisconsin back open for me, although at the moment on hold for a gas tank recall. Waiting on the part, but hopefully back on the road next week. Hoping to get back to flying after a decade and a half off also. That may have to wait and see how much damage the wife does to the...

    TraderDock Challenge Promo Code - $50 Off

    Maybe just my security software, but I clicked your links and with everyone I end up with the message, " The website’s security certificate is not yet valid or has expired. Error Code: DLG_FLAGS_SEC_CERT_DATE_INVALID". Just a heads up, possibly someone forgot to renew the certificate.

    Alliance Football League

    I think he was made an offer, but it wasn't enough cash. I think they are paying those guys around $75000 a season. I agree though that it might bring in viewers and there might be a price point that made it worthwhile.

    Is it possible to switch into a career in web development from being self taught?

    As one who has hit the boredom wall trading after 15 years full time, I have been looking at this as an option to change careers. I've looked at a couple of the bootcamps, and various online programs. Curious if anyone has a preferred path and/or resource. I like the online option as I could...

    Dexa scan (Brian Shaw)

    Competitive swimmers have a similar large increase in caloric intake when they are training. I was amazed how much food one of our sons and his swim team members inhaled during the season and for most of them it was still a challenge to maintain weight. The problem for them was when the season...

    TWS update today is nuked?

    When I initially opened up this morning it was lagging pretty badly for me. Even opening windows, like option chains was delayed. I shut down TWS and the computer also. After rebooting all has been working fine.
