Take a look at Interactive Brokers as your OMS/EMS, and iqfeed for your data.

I see your point, but someone willing to pass on experience will save you a lot of time, money, and bad positions.

False. A good mentor/teacher is priceless.

Yes! Even master one company that you know well. There is a ton to learn by studying just one company: - What are the products or services earning them revenue? You’ll have to learn to read a balance sheet and SEC filings. - Who are their suppliers, and who do they supply? You’ll learn supply...

Why not just go long on gold and save the short fees? If the dollar is devalued it will be painfully obvious in the metal price.

I’ve had this conversation many times. Here is where you start: Take a good hard look at yourself. WHAT DO YOU KNOW??? Trade what you know! - Did you study IT and tech? Did your Dad own a convenience store and you did the ordering? Do you love politics? Do you like studying economics and...

IP? Intellectual Property? I’d run all my algos locally against a private MD feed. ...and, of course, read tons of news.

My game is getting reasonably good, and I’ve learned how to hedge in some innovative ways to wash external risks, and isolate the market opportunity that I’ve perceived. I feel confident in my ability to employ capital, but I don’t have much to work with. These hedging strats pay, but they...

I wrote a C++ monitoring program. It subscribes to MD for my instruments. If a price is breached it takes action. Basically an algorithmic stop. Also, beware the stop sweeps. When there are a lot of stops on the book near the spread, some brokers will quickly move the price, gather the...

Move right, Tesla... the Volkswagen electric bus is passing! Incense and peppermints. https://www.caranddriver.com/photos/g20892237/2022-volkswagen-microbus-the-electric-resurrection-of-an-icon-feature-gallery/

It’s nice. It is a very simple clean design. It is white with my name and the Apple logo on the front; the Goldman Sachs and Mastercard logo on the back. We are a bit surprised that it’s not a Visa. It pays me 1% ca$h back on purchases... and pays it daily. I’ve been charging a lot to test it...

I don't want to mention any names, but *cough*BARON*cough* SWIM may have hinted at it.

Is nuclear considered clean or dirty?

Start stockpiling Spam.

Re: Bourbon/rye/whiskey: I’m in the Jack Daniel’s camp. You fancy pants aged-in-mummified-Egyptian-remains drinkers need to grow some hair on your chest, come down from your ivory towers, and drink like men.

6-9 hours. Yes more since work has cranked up and I’ve been coming up with lots of new ideas. Not enough hours in the day! My problem is “letting go” of the day. I sit around and think from 10pm-1am pondering any variety of things.

My problem with arguments like this is that they preclude us from doing market analysis. Based on the above, what’s the point?

Not impressed. Pretty much anyone from the unwashed masses can cook a prime steak. What can you do with a shank or other tough cut? But how???? That’s the question!

Depending on your broker/software, you may have the option to put your stop order onto the book. I don't like doing that; I prefer to monitor prices on my side. If I want to stop out at 90% I would actually issue market sell (or cover) when a price target is breached. A stop becomes a market...
