Agreed. The fact they're trying to ride it out (even adding) rather than downscaling the leveraged position is hilarious. The market loves taking out weakspots... I guess the inherent logic is that Saylor's career is on the line, so he might as well double down.

Collective 2 is choke full of martingale systems. If they've survived for a while they have had at least one moment of 'impressive' leverage already. There do exist serious systems on C2 but the "make me rich by next year" ones are nearly all martingales or have some other catch. Typically you...

Ask yourself this: What would the number of "kickouts" be on average if your chop filter has no predictiveness whatsoever and behaves like a random guess, as a function of filter length (number of confirmation bars)?

Was I to tell the Ukrainan refuges next door the war on their country is 'fictitious' I might not survive the encounter. One of the world's largest grain producers knocked out, fictious my ass. Some people really are that utterly stupid to not understand Russian 21st century fascism threatens...

As CBs start draining liquidity from the system useless shit with no yield is the first kind of assets investors are going to cut. Expect to see an increasing number of stories like this.

Thanks for expositing, interesting to start in earnest that early. I was "sort of interested in stocks" at that age but really had no clue what I was doing, much less anything about trading. In comparison my parents really didn't know anything either or particularly encouraged it beyond "that's...

30% a month? Very modest.

$43 Billion hobby project.

You've traded the same strategy since age 18 or earlier (based on your stated age)? Genuinely impressed if true.

You guys get drunk at Easter too?

No? :D I imagine to modern man this is like clicking "I agree" on legal terms for some software without reading.

Just IMO the 'big thing' is getting the alpha correct (as in: not overfit crap because you tested on same data multiple times, not ignoring physical constraints, nor returns boosted by some bug). In fact, having an idea of what your alpha/reason to get paid by market is going to be before you...

It seems like he's trying to avoid attention from everyone aside from other traders. Newspapers that I assume would try to interview him haven't published any interviews. He could easily be a celebrity here if he wanted.

He had a massive tax bill from capital income last year (on the magnitude of tens of millions of USD, can't remember exact number) as Swedish newspaper independently picked up on. Nobody wants to overstate their income to Swedish tax authorities. Actually nice to know he is legit.

You're talking about max leverage. Actual leverage = Position size in dollars divided by account value in dollars. I.e. you control the leverage you use by the size of the positions you take. If you're trading something with built in leverage like ETFs you also need to multiply size of ETF...

Thanks for nonsense post. Putin has supported both far wings in Sweden in order to cause division in the country. Quite frankly the right is a lot more visible in the US, as on this board, so it makes more sense to pick up on that. I don't think I know a single communist on ET. :D

Putin has direct propaganda lines to the far right in the US as in many other countries, which is also quite nicely illustrated by some of the responses in this thread.

I mean he is already inspiring his people and he will continue to do so even in death. Nobody will want to surrender.

Putin should have stuck with Lughansk and Donetsk... F*k him, regardless.

IMO killing Zelensky is not going to achieve anything for Putin now. If killed he will "become more powerful than Putin can possibly imagine", borrowing words from Star Wars. Ukraine like any other democratic country has plenty of other leaders that could step up.
