I spoke to a dear friend of ours, Bob Morse, a few nights ago after he saw this thread. He pointed something out that should've been obvious to...
Great responses here and it's getting the wheels turning for me. It seems like the deciding factor should be how volatile your trading is. Low...
This is not a "I have this great strategy, how do I get money to back me" type of thread. The assumption is that you already have a verifiable...
Sold some calls as we kept rallying this few weeks, the last one being slightly ITM. I'm about 400 shares short of my target exposure, but most...
I set up a small fund for friends and family (just a few million) and in the beginning, I would give them quarterly reports, which is basically...

OK I've been lazy and not updating the journal and the thought even crossed my mind to abandon this, but then people will think I somehow blew up...
Anybody else use Tradingview.com? They completely bugged out after the markets closed early on July 3rd and didn't even show live data today...

Trading is truly one of the most rewarding ventures left on this Earth. If you want to discover a new periodic element or cure cancer, you got to...
Another day another dollar. My profits for June should be at least triple this if I thought things through a little more clearer. My thesis was...
