Exponential tech is a possibility, not an inevitability. Look up the idea of technological stagnation; the singularity tends to get much greater media exposure because it is a cooler scenario. However, if there is just a 10% chance of exponential technology bets will still have pretty damn good...

Power outage, but leaving JP225 trade on until after new year as the leverage is 1.2x or so. -35 now.

Stopped on ASX200, -480

Move stop 6678, trade has been on longer than I anticipated. It went out into some positive MFE and then back under.

Random algo meandering on positions above, mostly fluctuating between 0 and -250 MAE => I went in too greedily. Gonna multitask some other work and will leave this unattended as it's pretty stale.

Buy AU200AUD @ 6692 stop 6682 $300 risk, much more narrow stop now that I sense/expect immediate trend change. Edit: We'll see if this was a good idea. Risk is stop is where everyone else incompetent has them.

Ignore last year above, I realized it's still 2019 on my location (Earth). :D

Buy JP225JPY x 3 @ 23388 stop 23182 Counter-trend dip buying @ around $600 risk, may the force be with me. Long term up trend looking less overbought though. To be fair I wouldn't be super suprised if we get a global correction soon into the new year, but as I yet have zero beta exposure it...

Currently open (from last year), algo long XAU + XAG vs USD, short XCU vs USD in approximately equal amounts. Currently $416 unrealized. Algo is slowly scaling in here by adding every time period on which it reaches a new peak profit (up to a maximum of 9x leverage on committed $16k), so would...

Agreed, I just added that because it happens that people later append OF COURSE YOU HAVE MORE CAPITAL IN RESERVE after having made multiple posts about how it's possible to make a living on $50k.

Saying you make a good living on a $50k account in a first world country implies you're getting at least 100% pre-tax returns annually. Not impossible but I would not like to be in that situation for years on end; a multitude of things can happen that suddenly hamper your ability to hit that...

Rules/aims: Trading ~53k CFD account. Why CFDs when futures are so awesome? A) I'm already committed (in code) to a platform w/ API, B) said platform works decently for my purposes, C) I am too lazy to move everything to mini or micro futures right now, D) ESMA regulations applies to my...

It's fine, I get it. The comment section of the article illustrates there are a fair number of people unable to get it.

The guy in question wanted to provoke a thought experiment and wasn't literally suggesting people become cannibals. Of course it's predictably used by people with certain agendas.

Quick check at least -1000% (you would be margin called far before that hopefully but you could get unlucky with gaps). We have hardly seen the worst spike in history yet and it's safe to assume you could lose >100x investment with raw shorting. Some options strategy to short this without the...

Very quick check on my broker (poor graphing) gives peak adjusted share price (taking into account reverse splits) as ~5167500 USD. Last close 52.17 USD; you do the math.

People who destroy things for others just because they can are the worst sort of people.

I fixed a bug in profit calculation (trades over multiple accounts got interleaved sequentially rather than chronologically) resulting in much more spikes than in reality, and financing charges weren't included resulting in about 10% more profit than in reality. Also I implemented normalized...

The first option is very probable since it specifies an arbitrary amount of pullback (including a minimal one).

Probably troll acc amirite?
