You may have lost track here: this advice is supposed to be to your 18-year-old self - not intended for everyone. I would absolutely trust that...
It's OK, Tom; I've already stated my view on the formal education systems we have in this country, so my lack of concern for the opinion of...
Feel free to name an approach that guarantees success. I've learned that some things require risking it all to make out-sized gains. And that...
I'm... highly ambivalent about the value of this, progressively more so as time goes on. IME, the most effective learning path is to find out the...
This has turned into "here's how to live right" rather than just a focus on trading - but I don't see any conflict in that, since trading takes......
THAT could, and should be expanded to points 2 through 1287. It is literally impossible for anyone starting out to even define what "absolute...
Shweet! (But do see the Shannon–Hartley theorem for why humor, unless heavily denotational, works poorly in text-only communication. :D)
Why not? Woolly-headed nonsense like astrology has zero rational basis behind it, and traders - successful ones, anyway - are rational people who...
If I'd made a movie of my early experiences in trading, people would die laughing. Upside-down verticals... painstakingly setting up stop market...
My second boat, the one before my Morgan 453, was a 34' Dutch steel ketch (pretty close to what they call a gouwzee in those parts.) Being a...
I've spent 20 years living aboard, seven of them in the Caribbean. In hindsight, this would not be a bad life for a trader... I was broke during...
Counteroffer: I'll pay you 100,000,000 instead of 100,000 once I've made it based on your method. Let's roll up the old sleeves, shall we?
From a blue-water sailor who does sometimes trade from his yacht (nope, not any easier from there) - I'll add to those fine words of support....
Thank you both! I've only been at this a few months, but burning the candle at both ends. Still a lot of learning ahead, so any steer toward the...
When I was teaching Python, I used to use ZeroMQ to demo how message passing should be done. Cool bit of history: Pieter Hintjens (there was a...
Absolutely - thanks. "Delta bet" is basically my shorthand for "large move up or down". Got it.
Just to check that I'm tracking here: BK's current IV%/IVR is 90/60 - but it's pretty much irrelevant because it's not going to drop until well...
I was actually in the process of setting up both when the TradeStation platform blew up on me. I spent a couple of hours with their tech support...
Do you have an actual, verifiable track record of this? Lots and lots of people "feel like" their methods are successful - at least until they...
I've found that demonstrating the sleaziness of what they do to people like you is far more effective than trying to argue with them about it. The...
