I have made two threads about this already and I have dug into the options time and sales on the Thinkorswim platform however I cannot discern exactly how long it would take to fill a long call or put order(single leg) if purchased at the ask AND in excess of $150,000, and also vise versa if you...

No worries I wouldn't jump in without backtesting and paper trading it first, and thanks, that makes me feel much better concerning liquidity.

No, I've already backtested and it has a near 90% success rate with my stop losses the average trade is making about +35c PPS. I've been papertrading it for several weeks now and have tripled the intial account value. There is no risk of blowing the account up with the short hold time. Edit...

Thanks, what about for larger equities like NVDA, BAC, AAPL though? Or other ETFs like QQQ?

I have a new algorithmic strategy I've developed and I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible AND if there's scalability, and if so how much? The duration of each trade is on average around an hour, some as little as 30 minutes and some as large as 3 hours, all about delta and gamma, the other...

Edit to clarify: The whole trade isn't 5 minutes....it could be a half an hour to several hours(usually around 2 hours a trade). The options will increase/decrease in value quite a bit within that window as far as I can tell. (for instance the underlying ETF/Equity would be moving anywhere...

I want to know if it's possible to move $100,000+ in Spy call/put contracts intraday, and also how long execution time would be on the average trading day. Also how liquid are options contracts on big name blue chips like BAC, PG, AAPL, AMZN, etc.... Could you move hundreds of thousands of...

Make no mistake bro I will return with epic tales of battle. Countless victories to be won through nothing other than my blind ambition. With a ferocious reckless abandon I shall strike down my opposition and come out on top; $99,500 richer before taxes, no strategy required when you have balls...

Well conceived investment ideology, although not practical in the type of endeavor I'm planning on. I'm turning $500 into $100,000 in one year or less. The following year I'm turning whatever I have in the account into $500,000 after withdrawals. Finally the year after that I'll turn $500,000...

Very true, like I said he's mostly legit. I've also seen him say and do a couple of questionable things before as well, but to each their own.

I've looked into Tim Sykes before, I realize he gets an awful lot of undeserved hate thrown at him for being a loud mouth and a "fraud", but I realize he is mostly legit and obviously his success isn't a fabrication, as I've seen his trades in action before and have been in his chat room, among...

Suretrader is based in the Bahamas so they aren't legally subjected to the PDT rule. You can also open an account with them at a minimum of $500, and trade at 6:1 margin. :cool:

I'm about to embark on an exciting adventure gentleman. I'm planning on turning $500 into $100,000 with a strategy I will construct utilizing a variety of technical indicators, and in essence it will be a system designed to follow trends. This will be primarily for day trading equities, and yes...

I'm no longer worried about this. With the Republicans in full control of Congress for the next 10 years(at least), plus Hilary Clinton's support of Wall Street, and the republican candidites, combined with actual common sense and logic, this will never go through. The UK is also a conservative...

Hell yeah man, as said before though...i think it may have been you or someone else in another thread but if there is an ftt tax. I will simply move to whatever country the market moves to. This shouldn't be an issue though. Thanks for all the advice guys

I fail to see how trading will stop being profitable. Unless the FTT was so imposing I no longer could profit, but I would imaginebat that point the market would no longer be beneficial for investment and long term retirement and raising money for IPO's so ot would be reversed. I would lose...

It's not tax evasion if you're trading their market(Dubai). Yes there are better countries in the world for daytrading like the US or UK, or even Hong Kong. However many years down the line if daytrading or swing trading are no longer a viable means of income in the US(highly unlikely for...

The first link is malarky, just more hype. The second link was about derivatives not intraday positions- "France had previously pushed for financial derivative products to be excluded from such a tax, leading to the failure of talks intended to finalize the initiative last month." Read this...

Well IMO as I said earlier if the FTT was small enough(It would have to be less than 0.1% to even be considered seriously as anything higher would literally destroy the economy and be reversed within the year it was imposed.) For an example of this see Italy, which already reduced there rate...

Also Marco Rubio would be a good choice as well.
