Were you driving a Tesla?

Let me in... please please please....

The machines are overwhelmed; the valuation has increased so fast, they just can't handle it. New machines are being added to support a TSLA price of over USD 10,000, and a market cap of $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. Please be patient.

..if not, can I start one? I think that it would be both instructive and fun to hang out with the ET crew.

That's a damn good comment. Blasphemy, methinks, and you may be burned at the stake if you keep talking like this... but a great response. :thumbsup: Let me gently remind you that TSLA is now valued at more that GM and F combined.

Why haven't Honda and Toyota dropped an all-electric SUV? Something to compete with the TSLA 3? Battery technology is really the only sticking point, and it's hard to believe that Panasonic (Japanese-based) can't step up and make a EV battery. This is puzzling... I smell a rat. Something is...

I think that the biggest risk to TSLA is, collectively, the Japanese Companies: Honda, Toyota, and most importantly Panasonic, which manufactures loads of batteries for pretty much everything. Imagine an electric version of the Camry/RAV4, or Accord/CRV. All the performance of a Tesla, at an...

I might be able to help you. I've worked with the IB API in both C++ and Python. Message me if you'd like to chat.

Thanks for the response, Robert. So, imagine a person is the [stereo]-typical "day trader." They roll out of bed and go straight to their terminal in their pajamas, trade all day, and make enough profit to maintain their capial and pay their bills.. are they considered a "Professional?" When...

What distinguishes a Professional from a Non-Professional (amateur) trader? - Licenses? - Time spent trading? - Trading the money of others? - Being employed or sponsored as a trader by an institution/hedge fund? - Employment status? - Profit or loss threshold? tyvm --Miklas

…is this volatility a result of the virus scare, or is something else going on?

Just remember, you get what you pay for--be it a car, pint of beer, a house, or market data. There's a reason why people pay big bucks for MD. Be sure that you're getting data that fits your needs: look for delayed, VWAP, or other nasties.

Yeah I hit two buyouts in a row when I first started. I was in on Solar City when Tesla bought them, and in on SGI when HP bought them. I thought, “Easy! Just pick companies that will get bought out, and make tons of profit!” Lol... I was in for a wake-up-call.

Hey All, I’m working to take my Python 3 programming skills to that next level. One of the best ways to improve is to read code of the masters. Can anyone recommend a good project with exemplary Python code for study? Thx, Keith :^)

The number one thing is this: to trade, and trade real money—NOT paper trading. Get in the game. Take your lumps, learn from them. You will lose on some trades... but never lose the lesson. I remember an interview I saw with an Air Force pilot instructor. He said that pilots can fly simulators...
