So what do you trade?

So what do you trade?

Futures and CFDs.Stocks are more like for investing purpose i think.

I used to trade stocks intraday for several prop shops in 2009-10 but then they began to close one after another like domino. One even took off with some of my money...lol.Since then stocks are just nonsense for me, unless it`s for the investment of course.Just my xp though.

We have thousands of active stock traders. Whatever works for the client works for me. I see value in all liquid, listed, asset classes. Where ever you can find your edge.

I`d buy the 'church of new religion' stocks for the investing purpose...lol

I agree.Whatever works for anyone it`s fine!That was just my bad experience.

Most of my personal trading is done by a few CTAs in my Roth IRA. I don't have time for much trading myself, but I prefer options on futures and equities.

Getting back to this new pricing model. I believe this is great for both investors and active traders.
