I do not agree with this post.

@deaddog Thx for the reply. I agree that the concepts from the past are valid; auction theory, human nature, etc. I think speed of the market has changed. That may have little impact on investors or very-fast intraday traders but possibly it has lots of impact on swing timeframe traders...

I disagree but that is fine. I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. If it works for you then life is good!

SPX, I do not understand the reason for your insulting tone. If we were face-to-face would you speak in such a rude fashion? I assume not. I did not ask for any system or service, just new thought leadership.

Thx - Very interesting content!

SPX, you are a kind & generous person. I understand your point. However time is limited. I watch many videos for an hour or more, to only come away with very little or a sales pitch. I get your point but I tired of hearing the same ideas ripped off and re-labelled. I am confident there is...

Thx

Who are the insightful Traders/Thinkers of our current time? Sorry to rant but I am quite tired of reading the work from 25,50,75 years ago...like nothing has changed? Sometimes newer work is just a rewrite of 75 year old work. And every time I hear "I used to be a floor trader", I puke a...

I am researching a move to PR. I am single, no kids, (a bit older). Any thoughts on neighborhoods with nice apartments? Hopefully, within a mile to two from the beach. Prefer more quiet than a party zone.

Individual Investor does not need to have employees.

I used to think discretion was a vice, in that adding discretion to my trades hurt results. I learned that the quality of the discretion is the issue. If one's skill in discretion adds to positive results then it is great! If one believes discretion is a negative then one seeks out styles and...

Regarding point 3, I wonder why one must start with a blank slate and reinvent the wheel. It seems like there could be a set of strategies or strategy templates, that are proven to have some modest edge, that one can use as a launching point.

@Norbert - thank you for The Strangest Secret video. It was exactly the right message for me at this time.

@dcwriter, there are no firm rules but most experts state 700+ trades/year with less than 30 hold times. My premium selling has two models. One has hold times of 1-3 days, and the other model has hold times of about two weeks, maybe three weeks at the most. Each leg is a "transaction" so it...

The HelpCenter link on the www.tastyworks.com site has just about everything. Do you plan to do intraday trading of the micros or more multi-day position trades? What style of trade or set-up is your go to trade? I have been discretionary intraday trader, jut looking to grab 4-5 points (ES) on...

I have not trade the smalls, as I am OK with the size of the /ES. My focus has been just the /ES for futures and futures options (very short term) and the options (selling options) on the SPX for medium-term holding times of a few weeks.

PT, I have not made any withdrawals. Wires are very easy. ACH is fine but only allow one ACH set-up at a time. Customer Service is very good but generally via chat/e-mail. They will call you if you ask. The details fee very well. The platform is simple and fast. The platform is set-up a...

PT, TastyWorks is very well known in the Options community. (big on selling options) It was founded by Tom Sosnoff, who created ThinkorSwim and sold it to TDAmeritrade. They have an extensive (separate) online channel called TastyTrade. It is all about options (and some futures). The clearing...

Dear Overnight, I suggest the extensive and free course at www.marketlife.com. It is based on the book Art & Science of Technical Analysis. The Pullback trade is the most common and generally the most successful (or easiest) trade. There is quite a bit of detail in building a successful...

What do you mean or how do you benefit by "no custodian"? I have an IRA at TastyWorks in which I trade futures and futures options (even naked). I trade the account just like my margin account. The only difference is the futures margin reqs are 1.5 to 2x of my margin account. I opened the...
