If you're bullish why enter an IC? That doesn't make any sense. This is a very dangerous position. Waiting for either side to go ITM is just plain nuts.

Believe it or not I have actually run this setup (with 1 GPU, not a cluster) and it's very compelling. But the caveat (as pointed out in the article) is that long passwords don't matter as much if they contain only normal words. Using random passwords is an effective countermeasure to...

Which tool are you guys alluding to with variable speed playback?

I meant a *real* job where you're expected to do actual work. Unless you're some kind of genius your job performance will suffer and sooner or later you'll be fired.

Would you be willing to go into a precious metal dealer's shop and buy silver bars?

It depends on the type of job and it depends on the type of trading. e.g. Daytrading while working a normal wage slave job is not sustainable.

This reminds me of a thread I read somewhere called Trendline Break The Only System You Need or something like that. Basically entries were based on technical failures of trendlines and I think sup/res lines.

I'm seeing pretty explicitly how higher timeframe sup/res levels are generally more important than lower timeframes and trendlines. I've done this sort of sup/res analysis before but found that it's easy to go overboard drawing horizontal lines at *every* turning point. It can make for a...

I feel so naive sometimes. Isn't that sort of collusion illegal and relatively easy to detect?

I predict the earth's population will decrease sometime before the middle of this century - but it'll be due to a human-caused environment disaster or plague.

You just mixed memes. Never mix memes.

I never have, nor do I now, nor will I ever belong to Facebook.

All these questions can be answered by simply opening up TWS and playing around with the option trader screen. On IB you can create an arbitrary option spread up to 4 legs. 6 legs is not possible as 1 spread. They have canned "standard" spreads but you can create variations such as...

I'm just asking because I've seen maybe a dozen new acronyms introduced in the thread with no prior definition.

So the opening low is the low of the range formed some number of minutes after the NY open ?

Is the opening low the same as the premarket low?

Please define OL, RET, FO and DL

My July NDX and RUT ICs expired worthless over the weekend. After the adjustments to roll out the call sides the ICs never needed further adjustment. After a few months of this I've come to realize that on paper these ICs are high probability but in practice the expenses of entering and...

Like my late father and his brothers I'll most likely continue working into my 70's because I like it and want to. As an engineer/programmer I'm a professional problem solver. Why would I want to stop doing what I enjoy so much?

That doesn't make any sense. Periods of low volatility are a red flag for a coming period of high volatility.
