NSA who? that Snowden guy must have made all that stuff up... Riiiiight

Nothing will happen in the US until after the election. Our current commander in chief will end his reign of debt on a high note. The masses will continue to praise him. The new a$$ (or c*nt) will be left to cleanup the mess. Those in the know will profit substantially. Everyone else (holders of...

I hate to say it, but unless you have an ivy league education and are being offered a salaried position, chances are that your prop shop will churn and burn you over time. I've seen people earn short term gains in these places, but I've never seen consistently profitable traders who can prove...

Always a pleasure to hear from you Maverick. Thank you for your input.

I recently watched a video where a (supposed) successful and long time trader speaks about how he 'picks off' retail traders... He spoke about how retail traders trade in the wrong places, and how he and his institution buddies can see the retail guy trading in the wrong place, and how he and...

T2 was my favorite, but T5 was pretty damn good too. It's nice to see the governor again.

Suddenly ignorance is defined by anonymously trolling somebody on a thread? Welcome to 2016 I guess. Sorry if your feelings are hurt. I'm sure you have a safe space that you can run to.

Is there a phenomenal difference between this material and material offered by, say, NY Institute of Finance? What justifies the $3000 price tag? Seems a bit audacious.

maybe he'll give you a hundred bucks if you offer to blow him? you can put it in your trading account.

I might be receiving a copy of this book. Has anybody heard of it? I'm seeing mixed reviews.. It seems that half say its (very overpriced) snake oil, and the other half say that while it's a bit esoteric, it's worth every penny. I'm wondering if anybody has used it and applied it in practice...

GOOD point. Allow me to retract my last comment and update the thread with my current thoughts on the matter... I wanted to like Martin. I viewed some of his live streams and I thought they were very entertaining at times. Then I took a step back and looked at the bigger picture. First off...

I like the guy. He went from nothing to something. Kudos to him for that.

Sometimes you have to pay for your mistakes... ESPECIALLY mistakes around GREED and lack of RISK MANAGEMENT. that's how reality works kids. zero sympathy

You listed "more excitement and emotional rush" as an advantage? You're not a day trader, are you?

If that's true (and I have no reason to believe that it's not, aside from my skeptical nature) than I wish you were my mentor...

I like the IV strategy but I would think that THETA would cause any potential profit to decay... Depending on how far out you make your purchase (and the direction of the move since you buy your call/puts), you may just break even... if the trade goes in your direction... You can get very...

...and that's just me personally... Everybody is different. If you have a consistent trading approach for earnings versus just getting long or short before the announcement (based on a hunch or TA or tea leaves or whatever), then more power to you. You could post bids/offers at the...

I won't hold a position into earnings nor will I trade pre-market or after-hours during the earnings announcements. So if you're asking me if I practice what I preach, the answer is yes. The answer was not always yes, but it is today.

Holding through earnings is ALWAYS a gamble IMO.

^ Unfortunately it's not that easy. These guys are a registered prop firm so every deposit is locked up for one year (FINRA AML rules). I would need to suspend my account and wait a year (from the time of the deposits) to receive my capital contributions. Who know's what kind of fees are...
