Position Risk Management and the dynamic application of risk vs reward odds are common skills to be successful in certain games and in trading financial markets. While it is certainly true that many proprietary trading firms DO ASK candidates about their game skills - it would be disingenuous...

I think the salient point is that if you have some sort of advanced gaming skill set by all means bring it up in your resume and during the interview process. It can work against you, too. Someone perceived as having “a gambling problem” would be a huge red flag. Participating in organized...

Sounds like a good way to lose your key employees in very short order. You know - the ones that built the Company.

FWIW the best trader I’ve ever personally seen was a champion chess player. Many traders I have met over the years were also excellent poker players. Quite a few proprietary trading firms ask candidates about their skills at games. I doubt that Poker is the only game skill that might have...

Just as a side note - I take NO client haircuts or fees from brokerage or clearing. I’ve got clients clearing everywhere from Advantage to New Edge and all points between. I discourage my clients from competing with the likes of Jump and Geneva with the high speed arbitrage game. It’s a...

My GUESS is that Mexico would have to pay the US mightily for the privilege

I would like to give Trump credit for the ONE thing he has proven to be the world’s best as: World’s Best Troll Evah :D

Greenland LEFT the EU in order to preserve their fish stocks. China wanted to “Belt and Road” their way in. Trump is the biggest troll known to mankind.

Options are a great way to swing trade with less anxiety. You’re going to minimize the adverse effects of automation and bots and algos when you swing trade. The KEY is to start out with such an absurdly small size that you have no hesitation about letting the position work in the market...

Having been around quite a number of traders - these days of Algo driven order flows I personally think that day trading or scalping is a very low percentage endeavor. Manual scalping with a mouse will certainly enrich your broker and provide liquidity for the bots. Position or swing trading...

Just my own personal opinion - I think that Tulsi Gabbard would stand the best chance of beating Trump. My second choice would be for Andrew Yang.

I left the top of the ticket blank. Couldn’t stand either candidate.

Not unless the corporatist thugs at the DNC change their minds about Tulsi Gabbard.

Best post of the thread.

Now from the Washington Post: Can the US Buy Greenland? Trump Staff are Looking Into It President Trump has pushed top aides to investigate whether the U.S. government can purchase the giant, ice-smothered island of Greenland, two people with direct knowledge of the directive said. The...

I view it as a depository for wayward millennials. The Europeans are quite keen to exploit its considerable mineral and hydrocarbon resources - but its unique “in between” location and quasi sovereignty makes it a confusing challenge.

I could not argue with your assessment
