    what do you look at when day trading and prep for day trading?

    I trade futures and I don't prep due to my trading strategy. I take a look at the overnight session, check for related news events, and then look for setups. I have started trading options earnings and that requires a good bit of time on the weekends screening for good names. It then...

    Do i correctly understand futures trading risk in a worst case scenario?

    Nobody would trade futures if they were exposed to risk when flat. The only time you are exposed is when you have an active position on.

    Cumulative Delta

    You have to look at the per-bar delta statistics for short-term trading. I don't know if I would commit to a swing trade using cumulative Delta as it seems to be too far of a lookback for most futures traders. Maybe (probably)I am ignorant of how you use cumulative Delta, It may be useful for a...

    GUNS!

    I liked the IWI TS-12 bullpup shotgun so I decided to pick up the Tavor-7 (16 1/2 inch barrel). I really like how all the weight is to the rear. I am also picking up a Ruger Precision rifle in .308 this week. I have a few M1a rifles but I am lacking a bolt action precision rifle. This one has...

    California inflation I saw this weekend...

    It was three days after the food stamp money was sent out to people in California. I don't know how it all works but maybe there is a delay between the time they issue to the time you can use them?

    I don't understand the question. Whose bankruptcy? Maybe you should ask the question in a more understandable format for idiots like me? :D

    You still haven't told us what the underlying is. Since you are withholding information how do you expect a useful comment? I have no further comment and I am blocking you for wasting my time. Good Day.

    Jim Simons, RIP -- dead at age 86

    I wonder if quitting did him in. I listen to the McAlvany commentary podcast (gold discussion) and the host talked about an old guy who was a well-respected gold trader whose doctor advised him NOT to quit smoking. The doctor feared that cutting off the nicotine would kill the guy faster than...

    How to calculate option gains?

    Learn the Greeks before you start trading. Do NOT think in terms of % rather think of it in dollars. The primary driver of option price change is a function of Delta, Gamma, and Vega. Say you buy an at-the-money option with a .5 delta. This means if the underlying stock rises 1 dollar your...
