Not really. You are right, For stock traders, they can all exit MOC. For options, it takes more effort and a little more time.

Thx....It is important to have a plan. I would suggest having a plan for a market dip. Since July, we have basically just been climbing and you are basically long. You have to make enough money when it works to offset the draw downs. Nice job.

Actually, they all do. E.G. Long only, long/short, vol arb, short only, merger arb, etc. This thread has gotten silly as your purpose was not to find the best of the best but to show that day traders are having a hard time making money, as I suspect you are. It is not a news flash that day...

With your example, why not just cut back to 2 contracts.

OK, I'll play along and I don't even need proof. Let's' start with you. What was your: Starting equity in your trading account in 2017? Asset classes you traded? Basic strategy? YTD P/L? Is that what you expected to make? Better/Worse? Care to share? Bob

Why is the only metric day trading equities? How about options traders that position trade? How about futures and options on futures traders that day trade or position trade? Your focus is too narrow and I would NEVER discuss anyone's account or private conversation I have had with them even if...

Well that "proves" nothing. I have spoken privately with well over 100 of the members here and many became clients. I can tell you there are those here that are just beginning their journey and those that have enough resources that they no longer have to trade but still do. I have never met one...

That comment was not funny, but this is.

Really? Haven't we talked about this over and over? They don't sell equity order flow. They, like almost every broker, gets PFOF on options.

Why would you require any proof besides your login credentials?

I would think this is obvious.

Right, but for a proper response, it would help to know what you will do. If you are long term bullish, nothing wrong with being net long all the time with a % of your net worth. I have done that for my dad. I bought SPY for him and sold a block of stocks he held for 15 years. I don't like...

Can you provide a specific example? Do you mean being long a SPX call or any S&P 500 index derivative.

CME is hoping to list Bitcoin futures before year end. You can short them.

In my opinion, not a fair comment. The MM is entitled to an edge where you get to choose what you want to do but there are no public orders. Your job is to quickly find liquidity at a price that works for you.

What if you made it a market order? That is their hope.

A MM hoping you are going to lift your limit and they are trying to offer that the best price. No One likes to show their best markets in options with no paper and wide spreads.

I'm happy to talk. Send me an email and a good time to call you. Bob
