    Why do many traders are failure in Forex market?

    In my opinion, some of the major attributive causes for a high failure rate among Forex traders may include lack of proper education, emotional trading, and unrealistic goals which they set. It simply makes the point that the trader has to know how the market operates and be armed with some...

    best way to rank stocks

    Well, what you want to do is use your strategy on each stock to see how well it does. For example, if your strategy involves looking at moving averages (which is like an average price over a certain period), you could figure out how much money you would have made on average when the stock's...

    US stocks: When bad new is good news/vice versa

    It's a bit strange how the stock market sometimes reacts the opposite way to what you'd expect, but it's all about what investors think will happen with interest rates. In my opinion, it's important to keep an eye on the big picture and not get too caught up in these short-term ups and downs.

    My Daytrading Plan

    I think it's good to concentrate on just one stock because you can really get to know how it behaves. But, this might mean you miss out on other chances to make money. Maybe think about having a few different stocks to choose from.

    What is the max risk on a straddle???

    When you're doing a straddle strategy by picking up both a call and a put option at the same price, like your $514 for SPY, it's a bit different than selling any of them, which you mentioned. Normally, with a straddle, you're not selling options; you're buying both to cover both directions the...

    European Style Option Pricing (and why doesn't SPX move?)

    In my view, even though you can't exercise European-style options like the SPX ones early, their prices still closely follow the actual stock prices. This happens because of how the trading world works—people and companies trading these options make sure prices are fair based on what's happening...

    I think it's just an article or a piece of a book that has never been published. As I see from your discussion and the calculator you've shared here, those sources can't be counted as trustworthy.

    A strategy I read about

    Here's an example to illustrate how this strategy might work in practice: Suppose the SPY is currently trading at $400. According to the strategy, you'd look for a DITM call option with a delta close to one and a target strike price at about 60% of SPY's price, which would be around $240 in this...

    Trading Track Record

    When prop firms request a trading track record, they typically look for a history that demonstrates consistent performance and risk management over time. While there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, a minimum of 1 to 2 years of trading history can be a good starting point. This period allows...

    A strategy I read about

    That's a fascinating strategy you've stumbled upon, shMark! Leveraging Deep In-The-Money (DITM) call options to potentially enhance returns is indeed an innovative approach. It offers an interesting blend of leveraging the potential upside of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) while mitigating...
