Thank you both very much! Some good ideas to ponder.

How is this a hedge ... If underlying goes up, you make no money? If underlying goes down more than credit received, you loose money? What am I missing?

Defining "quickly" and "rejected" is the hard part, no?

Why do you say that? It sounds to me like he has access to his friends trades and his friend may not mind if he is being shadow traded. Too good to be true? @ladyarya, how exactly do you have access to the trades? I assume they are fast or you would simply be doing it manually. If you truly...

Well, I know what you mean, but I don't consider people on this forum dumb money. We follow the markets, we have an idea of risk, we don't take news at face value, we don't trade on tips or emotions. Most of us are not professionals, but it doesn't mean we cannot spot opportunities and play...

Theoretically? It is very practical! Most successful players MAKE their edge one way or another, imho. How much money do you think one needs to paint a chart? Let's take a mid-cap stock ... How difficult is it to run it up and then push it down to some stupid fib level? Can you buy with...

Could you please elaborate on this? There should be a large expat community to interact with.

I have posted this before, but in case you missed it.

I want to like it, but I don't understand it. Do you?

Pretty clever! https://qr.ae/TWpOl9

The only thing stopping me from buying vxxb is summer. I don't know if I am dumb money, but I am definitely not smart money :)

This makes me worry. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-04-26/hedge-funds-are-shorting-the-vix-at-a-rate-never-seen-before

Everything is tradable ... Just like in poker, we are looking for tells. If the volume may cause change in price, it's real no matter what causes it.

What do you mean by "ticks" - like NYSE Tick indicator only proprietary? Just to be clear, I am not necessarily saying that the individual stock is out of sync with the index ... Maybe the stock is showing relative strength and doesn't fall as much in the first place. In either case, this may...

Can you point me to any? What I am noticing is ES jumps a couple of ticks and either of two things happen: 1) ES quickly (second or two) fades back. 2) ES holds the spike and individual stocks (AAPL, FB) start catching up ... sometimes it takes seconds! Will start watching more closely...

There must be a ton of research on this, but I haven't come across anything to answer below curiosity. It seems to me that the market moves often start in the Future indices and then the stocks catch up. Maybe I'm seeing things, but I have a theory for why ... Large players use Futures when...

Aren't these terms interchangeable?

You asked about this before :) What does instant mean in the context of options? Are you talking about sending market order(s) or data feed is needed to price correctly? Are you talking about trading the nearest expiration weeklies? Is closing to be automated as well? How important is...

I'm sorry, what exactly you are trying to defend against? Your commissions should not be affected by separate executions, unless you cancelling and resubmitting your order. You should be able to specify AllOrNothing if it really bothers you that much.
