"test" + "ES" = "testes" Am I the only one who's ever noticed that? Nah. I doubt it. In any event, I am heavy on top -- carrying too much for such shitty vol, and am dancing to split/roll-out, freakin' position by position. "Testes in a vice." 2545 {heavy} for Friday -- we've breached 2537 as...

You make it too hard. ;)

What you describe (options data scraped for off-platform analysis) is common, but less so for ToS. I once inquired of a (ToS-using) buddy about whether ToS could be rigged to create .csv files, and he assured me it can be. That's all I've got -- except that R or Python will give you Good Times...

Varies state to state, although the (U.S.) convention is to require a 65 of everyone. Check your Sec.y of State.

Good on you. NO ONE should EVER think that they're 100% right -- not and expect to keep their account. As a tick scalper, I was at home -- "Please God, just let me and 'the indicators' be right for the next 5-7 minutes." And that mostly worked. Doing credit spreads, I *know* I'm going to be...

IB is not perfect, but cdcaveman is blaming the river for tipping his canoe.:rolleyes:

I look again. (And, because I trade OPM, I look again and again and ........)

Nothing to do with IB or your understanding of spreads (although, for practice, you should write the combo in as many ways as IB/TWS offers, as each has a different take on "default" and you need to learn/know that ASAP), but has to do with the market. Check the market for similar spreads...

Pebbles dropped in a pond -- sometimes the waves act in concert, and magnify what had occurred earlier. Sometimes the waves act in perfect contradiction, and cancel. But with enough (HFT) actors, and enough discernible (trend) market direction, the mean will be an overall smoothing of (true...

Good lord holy cow sumbitch phew ohhhhhmigawd ermahGERD, Sheeeee-it. There's a 3-4min video there, which bops through their T.S.L. system, its care and feeding (hugely simple) and what it actually does (makes a trading system in less time than it takes to write about it)..... I am just...

"It's a small room at the front of the plane -- but that's not important right now."

I have been preaching this "forever" -- in classes of 30-40 students, even! And when you have the mojo working really well, they don't even realize that we didn't crack their idiotic, comic-book-like, USA Today of a "text."

Hey, I got captured on Youtube Land, and just got out. But I brought this along with me: The kid sounds like he's 13 or 14, and bored (like he's explaining it for the umpteenth time to his little sister) -- but it's actually very good!!! It's spot on! Hilarious. (I found myself cheering for...

Sell the option which insures the opposite direction. You will bring in cash whether or not you are correct; if you sell a spread, you will have defined a limited risk. I'd make/fill-in 5 outcomes: 1) up 10% 2) up 5% 3) 0% movement 4) down 5% 5) down 10% If you draw this out with a standard...

WOW. Whatta bunch'a skeptics 'round here....... :wtf:;):D:cool:

Way excellent. [UPON HITTING GOOGLE....] Uh-ohhhhhh. http://quantlabs.net/blog/2014/05/this-a-review-from-the-nyc-contact-on-his-view-of-the-anton-kreil-institute-of-trading-and-portfolio-management-presentation/ Guess I'll spend the quiet market day with a little review action.....

Fundamentals are the only thing that matters. T/A rules. "Price Action" rules. My broker is the best out there. "Trade small; trade often." but perhaps my favorite is.... No need[!] to watch the news cuz, the market is random. Now -- a confession: you opened the thread with "What is the...

What's the best way to get the skills to crush the market? 1) Always maintain a tight grip on your capital. 2) 3) ... ... ...

One of the best posts I've read this year.

"Bzzzzt!": Wronggggg. D'ya see that big green blob o'volume right after I posted?? THAT's a fine, fine sign that the market means whut it sez. (Right then, at any rate!) You called it! Maybe even to the minute! (I'm not looking at a graph right now.) I was going to write in and make the...
