Trading from a Cruise Ship?

[wrbtrader]

Wow...

He's only asking if one can trade on a Cruise ship via Satellite 5mbps and if anyone has done such.

That can only be answer when he either calls the tech department of his trade execution platform to ask about the minimum requirements for the internet connection or he tries it himself.

Everything else is by a bunch of people looking for an argument including those pouring gasoline on a ridiculous fire.

I saw the exact same debates when someone ask if he/she can trade from a park, library, RV, public WiFi spot and so on.

Answer - Yes you can trade as such if the internet connection meets the minimum requirements stated by the trade execution platform but make sure you have your broker on speed dial in you cell phone if something goes wrong.

Thank you so much! I can't stress enough how a comment like that can motivate me going forward! Thank you for your positivity and the tips you gave me.



Thank you, appreciate that comment.


Again, you are picky on my words. I have 6 hours a day even to trade, hell I'm even doing a computer science degree while onboard so I have enough time for that as well... What I meant by 30 min is that people though im 24/7 busy, so I said that I have at least 30 min.

I'm not disrespectful to the market, and I'm not new to it, I've been investing for long time and always had interest to it. People like you are so arrogant, and disparaging others, thinking only you have the full right to trade the market, you are the smartest and others are stupid.

You don't own the market, and if it took you 10 years to learn to trade, doesn't mean others can't do it on the shorter term.
Again, I don't understand the hostility, I want to trade the markets, and I understand the risks, and I'm willing to take those risks - I don't need people like you lecturing me about it - just answer the damn question or don't reply to this post.

Thank you.

You're more than welcome.

I am glad you like the comments.

I understand what you mean. Everyone trading journey is different, especially the time commitment.

I work full time job as well, and can only trade for a 1-2 hours a day. So I understand what you mean. Watch your risk and journal your trades. You will be fine.

Ignore these clowns here at ET. All the haters probably not making any money. They think it takes years upon years to make money. I know two people recently laid off work and day trading and doing just fine.

Keep doing your thing and monitor your risk. You know what you can and can not do sooner or later.

So the two people you know place over $25,000 into an account, start daytrading and within weeks become successful traders.

Yep. And I'm sure they showed you their portfolio and gains since day 1......just love these stories.

 

[S2007S]

I can't believe people enter into a market that literally the world has never seen in their lifetimes, and they think markets only go one single way....we have never witenessed these types of gains and market moves in the history of this market..especially going off the back of the biggest crisis the world has ever seen. These market moves make absolutely no sense and its only because the federal reserve. Every new trader into this market only believes markets go one way, UP. M2 money supply and liquidity is creating inflation and asset bubbles but no one will realize this until it once again collapses.

Trading platforms don't require a lot of bandwidth, 5 mbps will be perfectly fine.

If the ping is 300 ms as you mentioned, you will notice some slippage, depending on the market you are trading. But other than that you will be fine.

S2007S,

Yes, that is correct. They showed me their account.

Some people just start making money early in the game man. Everyone story is different.

To all who think this is like 1999, just a reminder that IF you are correct, you should be prepared to have Nasdaq 14,000 by end of the year.

And as in 2001, Nasdaq 4000 at the end of next year.

Lam, you got 30min a day to trade then look into writing options instead, you'll get fkd day trading otherwise.

His job conveniently keeps him from being fkd daytrading by forcing a 30 min limitation.

Are you retarded or something? Can't you read English? I see that you are trying very hard to ignore my comments, but I said couple of times here: I'm not new to the market! I've been holding VOO shares for more the 8 years, and some other instruments.

Unlike you, I haven't missed the rally, as I added up all the tourism shares to my portfolio.

People like you keep crying at home, and repeating "it doesn't make sense", "it's all because of the FED" blah blah blah... If you haven't noticed, Mr. Economics Genius, the FED started QE since 2008, the FED blanace sheet is on the rise for many years, if you haven't figured out yet how the system works, maybe you are the one who should stay away from the markets.

You are trying to fight the system, you are crying about how can the stocks keep rising, instead of join the trend. I think you are just a horrible trader, and you put all of your misery here on an online forum - wow.

You can keep thinking the market makes sense but in theory it does not. Im just saying when one comes on here and says they are making money daytrading I laugh because most new investors into a raging fed fueled unlimited QE market have never traded in a sour market before. Of course it's a beautiful thing to enter a market where stocks only move up, feels good to pick any stock and make a quick return in a fed fueled bubblicious market, but this won't last long. Continue holding your VOO and add to it on all those huge daytrading profits you make so once the music stops you have a nice big chunk of VOO to retire on.
