    Looking to relocate. But to where?

    There are a lot of English speakers in Budapest so it was easy. Santiago has a very modern European feel with the relaxed Latin lifestyle. Loved it. We didn't talk deals at lunch, afternoon coffee or dinner, but rather life, family and kids. The mountain views are awesome with the ocean just...

    Managing Premarket when it opens at 4:00AM but brokers open at 8:00AM or so

    Sorry. 4:00AM EST. I use TradeStation. The reason I ask is sometimes equities start moving against me before I get a chance to act. I was wondering how others might manage this. For example, only doing day trades would be one approach. I did do a limit search through ET archives to see...

    Scalped XIV today for good gain from the lows before the bottom fell out again. Will be watching futures and setup to enter XIV in AH. Another rule put in place suggested by Jdesey worked like a charm. It kept me patient.
