    Quit Corporate Job to become Options Trader Full-Time. Need Professional Advice.

    Ahh the ole SF house thing. Just wait a couple years my friend. I've been in the bay area for almost 20 years now and I expect yet another "correction." :) If you ever want to shoot the shit trading wise sometimes perhaps we could arrange a Bay Area get together. I think there's like 5 of us. Hah.

    Quit Corporate Job to become Options Trader Full-Time. Need Professional Advice.

    Great post - however the part about the girlfriend wanting a quality of life improvement stuck out at me. Maybe there's some assumption here, but how is that something that's entirely your responsibility? :-)

    China’s Futures Markets: The Door Opens Another Crack More

    BTW: I'd think even if they are opened up internationally, US traders would only be granted access if they met CFTC guidelines. If they did meet the guidelines and they were opened up, I'd surely be interested - particularly in the CFFEX index futures.

    Radicals Target Dan Loeb's Home

    To be into trading does not mean one has to embrace the hedge fund and related culture. I think that world is basically full of grade A douchey assholes but that doesn't mean I'm chewing on granola and part of a coop. False dichotomy. The game has various shades.

    Greece asking for $59 billion now, yes more bailouts and absolutely no such thing as failure!!

    Starting two WORLD WARS is nothing compared to that list of regional wars? Is this thread about Greece or shit-talk the U.S. every chance?

    anyone uses IB's us server to trade HK or SGX future?

    True - this is a very good point I had overlooked but was actually aware of already as noticed during the last time switch. During the time cutover the server resets will indeed be more of an issue. IMO, for people who trade both US and Asian markets they have to make a choice. If I had the...

    Did DB and the Price Action Scribblers Throw in the Towel?

    When it comes down to it why do we even have this thread? Who cares what other traders are doing. Focus on your own methods and help others who help you. This isn't a competition between retail traders anyway. They're not the enemy.

    anyone uses IB's us server to trade HK or SGX future?

    I do and I can confirm your issues on Wednesday night (US Pacific time). There were significant delays in the SGX exchange accepting orders during that time at one point. It was not only stops - it was any order as they were showing up as pending. Stops are native to SGX so I wouldn't expect the...

    Radicals Target Dan Loeb's Home

    I fail to see how protestors equals radicals. Protesting is the *least* they could do. He's a 2.5 billion dollar narcissistic Hamptons loving hedge fund douche that this country needs to rid itself of. Not gonna get any tears from me on his "worries" that's for sure.

    Try setting your charts to "other." :-)

    Is this stock coming back down?

    If there were a way of *knowing* we'd all be driving Ferraris. There is no way to know.

    converting long calls to more bullish spreads

    Or maybe the market believes it to be momma Yellen BS or cannot focus on more than one thing at a time.

    Marketsurfer says short shake shack

    SHAK was too expensive literally the day it IPO'ed. Everyone and their dog knew this and they didn't need MS to tell it to them. Take note of the fact that MS is saying something right now that could be considered bearish and there still being a sizable short float out there on this thing...

    Greece asking for $59 billion now, yes more bailouts and absolutely no such thing as failure!!

    Or unemployment, wages, GDP, potential rate increases, China, Russia, and whatever other fun might rear it's head. Greece is a convenient distraction from the other issues that surely haven't gone away.

    Largest Daily Changes in the S&P 500

    The govt can intervene all day and night. At a certain point the freight train will run them over as well as it's a huge house of cards. For now, make money.

    Where are you parking your hard earned dollars?

    Forget about ladies - didn't the CHF unpeg that literally just happened months ago teach anybody that relying on pegged anything is not the best idea in the world? What if some kind of Asian economic crisis happens again and countries start changing their monetary policy. This isn't exactly a...
