    Why are Futures and Forex more popular than stocks for short-term trading?

    There are thicker markets with high movement as well. A50@SGX does a lot of volume but also moves pretty well. No problems getting filled, albeit its not as thick as ES.

    He's basically arguing the present moment with the future potential. I stopped trying.

    Why are Futures and Forex more popular than stocks for short-term trading?

    * FOPs on ES and other major contracts available 24h throughout the week. Whilst not the best spreads on off hours they're still usable and at this point a strong competitor to SPX options which are only open during market hours. * SPAN margining available regardless of account size. No need to...

    ET is like a pack of dogs you throw a ball out down the road who then chase after it mercilessly, attempting to kill each other in the process. In the meanwhile they don't seem to notice the pieces of steak thrown in the other direction.

    Trading & the Zero Sum Game Debate

    You're completely moving around goalposts in order to try and prove a flimsy point. Fact of the matter is that AT THAT POINT neither seller A or buyer B have any more net value than the other. Your entire argument ASSUMES gains.

    Trading & the Zero Sum Game Debate

    You don't understand dividends man. The stock price DROPS at dividend time based on tbe dividend payout. If you sample the worth of both A and B at the same time they're both at 100$.

    anyone ever just long VIX at sub $15 range for 5-6 years?

    No but I've waited until VIX futures bottomed out (relatively), waited for the index to show signs, bought VX front month futures directly, and made money. Lost money too. You can't hold these things long term though.

    Why are Futures and Forex more popular than stocks for short-term trading?

    Okay let's talk about things NOT related to leverage: * Extremely simple to trade: long or short are the same with no margin loans or hard to borrow nonsense. * Much more favorable 1256 contract tax rules. * Markets open almost 24h on business days. * Straight forward commission prices per lot...

    Does it make sense to raise leverage if a trading strategy is low volatility?

    CL is not pegged to a currency hard out like EURCHF was. Shitty example. CL is not going to gap 1000 ticks without your stop taking you out (perhaps with huge slippage but you're still out).

    The authors of "The Bible of Technical Analysis" and review of the "Bible".

    It's real simple. Did the level hold or not - and how did traders react around it? Go long or short based on the timeframe you're interested in. If eggs are 50c/dozen you can bet there will be buying interest. Not so much at 10$/dozen. If you observe an established floor or ceiling it means...
