    Latest Rentec Medalion Performance?

    Suggest you stow your ego rant. You're outing yourself as a know-nothing, wanna be... running at the mouth. No offense. We've seen this many, many times before.

    Latest Rentec Medalion Performance?

    These returns ARE impossible unless you have an edge... you know, like "front-running"?

    Latest Rentec Medalion Performance?

    A guy named James Simons... ~80 years old now. Rumor(?) is that it's all done with HFT, "front-running" orders.

    Is "triple witching hour" as powerful now as it use to be??

    Used to be "everything happened/expired" at once.... caused large and volatile swings. Some years ago the exchanges decided to "spread the expiration around"....since then triple witch expiration has effectively been a non-event.

    Ways to hedge against a heavy loss in extreme situations for a scalper

    Theoretically, there isn't any "qualitative" difference... only a "quantitative" one. If you represent a big corp with big assets, you might "get by" with non-recourse (personal) obligations.... if the FCM agrees to allow that. But it would likely include some evaluation of the balance sheet...

    Ways to hedge against a heavy loss in extreme situations for a scalper

    A FCM would be a fool to allow otherwise. Your FCM "stands for all losses", settled-up at the close. If your account is in debit, they will try to collect from you using all means available. There is no upside for the FCM to limit loss recovery to the assets of the LLC.

    Ways to hedge against a heavy loss in extreme situations for a scalper

    All of us who sometimes have big positions on leverage worry a bit about the possibilities. If you're relying upon "quick exit" if things go wrong, but for one reason or another you are unable to act/execute.... seems to me the only way to hedge that possibility is to have a counter/offsetting...

    "...Vicente Fox says Trump needs to ‘show compassion and humanity’ to illegals..." https://www.infowars.com/ex-mexico-prez-criticizes-trump-animal-comment-get-your-sht-together/ Wrong! Trump needs to "show the door" to illegals!! And as for Odumbo's DACA... I was NOT in favor of the Dreamers...

    Jumpy Mouse Cursor

    If you have dogs/cats and your mouse has an optical/laser sensor opening .... you might check to make sure there isn't a hair in there. 1 hair is enough to make the mouse act wonky. If so, just blow it out. Happens to me all the time.

    Momentum Trading Strategy

    Oh... let me sum it up for you... MACD is a STUPID TECHNICAL TOOL and a 2nd derivative of price. If you didn't your "your signal" prior to that, your trading method is BUPKIS!!

    Geez. I saw one of your posts and thought, "this guy knows something". Unfortunately, your concerns with "MACD cross" puts all of that in question. Makes me wonder whether or not you know anything at all. No offense intended.

    Anti-trading. Dollar Cost Averaging

    In the long run, Dollar Cost Averaging is just buy-and-hold. With my background in "market timing mutual funds", a "minimal" TA approach would increase results by a HUGE amount while providing a much greater margin of safety. We know how "persistent" bull and bear markets can be. To take...

    Momentum Trading Strategy

    I remember a noob's post that went something like, "Learning price TA would take too long. You can learn moving averages in 1 day". :) (My first exposure to TA involved mutual funds and the "20 day MA cross". It was at a time when that concept worked particularly well. And if we had the...
