    How do YOU decide where to place YOUR Stop?

    Damn it, another good one ... Keeps popping on my YouTube channel. This one more generic.

    Unfortunately, that is not going to work (would be cool if it did!). Let's say your stops are too tight ... You go long and get stopped out by noise. But if you went short instead, you would still most likely get stopped out by noise. While we are on the subject, I remember reading of an...

    Exclusive: SEC scrutinizes fairness of stock exchange pricing

    Isn't this called internalizing? Sounds like not very difficult to fix. I am not a fan of monopolies like CME.

    Exclusive: SEC scrutinizes fairness of stock exchange pricing

    I didn't know that. In that case, what is the problem with having multiple exchanges?

    Generate income through options

    Well that's the problem for me with options (or for any leveraged short gamma strategy), they all look good on paper and make sense in theory. I think your advice is good and I had 30% in mind, but I don't think its worth it then. It becomes more of a hobby.

    Generate income through options

    Let's say I trade 60-90% win rate strategy and try to only trade when conditions are favorable (obviously gut feel), what is the maximum percent of total capital should I allocate? Assuming I am retail. Someone mentioned Options Alpha, I think Kirk is suggesting no more than 50%. If you tell...

    Can providing signal service kill your edge?

    I think it depends a lot on the timeframe ... The shorter the timeframe, the more likely it is to be destroyed by its own success. I don't know about Sykes, but for Warrior I find it quite entertaining. On one hand, as you indicated, his strategy is enhanced by more retailers trading it(and...

    Robert, I am curious to know your opinion on implementing RegNMS-like rules for options.

    Generate income through options

    I am curious, the title of the book clearly states below, yet it sounds like you want to live on that income. What gives? for Supplemental or Retirement Income

    What does he do for a leaving? Just think about it rationally ... People who have the gift for trading/investing tend to be friends with others in the industry ... They get noticed ... They get offers. I doubt there's a genius out there who is killing it in his retail account but doesn't want...

    Anti-Midas touch

    We are coming back to same things on different threads. I respect and agree with what you are saying. My problem is this - if you do not have a stop loss defined, you are not trading ... You are buy and hold. If you are telling me you can consistently pick the exact tops and bottoms without...

    How do YOU decide where to place YOUR Stop?

    Stop placement will depend on the strategy and your tolerance of Draw Downs. This guy has some good points for scalping. Disclaimer: I post his stuff a lot here, so I don't want people to think I am pumping his stuff or insist on this method ... It's just that his stuff is very relevant to...

    That's the key word. What's the sample size? What's the time frame? (a broken clock ...). That may be, but it doesn't make it easy to take advantage of it.

    ...And They Have a Plan. (Live.)

    Is there a specific reason you don't trade ETFs(commissions, leverage, broker/platform), or it's just Futures is what you used to?

    Question about IB please?

    While I would love to get off Windows, I find that it's easier to have a Windows box than aggravation. Have you tried running on Linux? Have you tried getting customer support to help you with issues? ToS does not run well on Linux in my experience. IB/TWS ran ok, but given that their support...

    Quote-Driven vs Order-Driven markets

    Thanks. Did not know that if one pays for real-time data and collects it, they would need a licence to sell it(since it's no longer real-time). Nice racket they have going.

    Wow, that's pretty valuable ... is this something you are offering to customers or strictly for your own use?

    @traderdock, can you explain what below means please? "Virtual balance signaling is misleading. Your live trading account balance will start at zero. No BS."
