    Favorite screen size?

    I used 43" Samsung 4k tv($300.00...LOL) with an Nvidia 1050ti and it works great. Never going back to the old ways. Fits four charts, my risk management and risk analysis tools well. what more do you need

    I use Sierra Chart and Ninja Trader on desktop. My PC only runs these three programs. I am currently running an i5-8400 and have had no problems but I would like to upgrade a few things. What is the consensus on AMD vs Intel here? I am leaning towards Ryzen 5800 at the moment. It's my...

    payed out as 1099 vs K1

    I am looking at two funding deals where I could be paid out as either a 1099 or a K1? here for the debate. Seems pretty straightforward that K1 gets preferential tax treatment(I meet the TTS requirements) just want a little validation from the crowd here. Also, can and should I set up a small...

    I cant make trading work for me

    “If you cannot define your edge in under 25 words you don’t have it” With the complexity of trading, comes every fathomable emotional toll that you can conceive. I just left a firm that was backing me this week because I got tossed around all year. I had burned through expenses and a small sum...

    ES Algo 10K - 20 K positions / day

    Shallower learning curve is a better bet as it will ultimately come down to confidently running the strat. All criticisms aired on this post are legitimate. Even if you are flipping 20s or 500s. Mistakes are costly and will cost you time and money but you know that. Automation and market impact...

    1256 contracts

    who files 1256 contracts and how do you pay yourself?

    Straight answers please. Estimated taxes: yes or no

    I will be trading futures exclusively for the next year while taking no salary, income, or draw. Being subject to taxation solely on 1256 contracts leaves me down the path that I can settle up at year end. Again, I am trading futures only. I will be trading heavy volumes. My question is: do I...

    Natural Gas calendar spread.

    a simple google will not help you. there are many big groups and funds that trade options on the outright futures as well as the spreads. the NG futures market is about 25% of the tradable delta in the natural gas market so what you are seeing is, really, not the real market and is simply the...

    Detachment from Money

    Alot of people, including the fund managers, made horrid trades due to not having skin in the game. Funny thing that i hear all the time, "so if i give you like $5,000 or $10,000: what could you guarantee me?" I personally don't think i could ever trade someone else's money. The last thing i...

    Detachment from Money

    Would you prefer buying power in a margin account over material items and a possibly fancier lifestyle sooner...instant gratification is a killer. I don't mean to brag but, I'm 26, I trade a 7-figure trading account right now and what i can tell you is this. the key to the detachment from money...
