Great advice. You have given OP a possible path to move forward. I am glad I listened to you when I started live day trading last year.
I don't have a dog in this fight but I think sir you missed his point: You don't want to trade scare, you also don't want to blow up before you have a chance to hone your skills. Took me a few years to figure out options and it is easy compare to day trading.
You have it backwards...It is easier to figure out how to trade outright with margin in your face than with optionality to mitigate the outrights on day trading with all that IV stuffs.
What BS. You mean you have an algo that requires 50k, to make 500k, but you've not risked the 50k yourself?
Yea dude would take out some type of loan whether it be home equity or whatever if he was that confident. Gtfo.
I like GlobalX ETFs. I'm in a couple that are doing fairly well now (BOTZ and AIQ), and in one that is not (POTX).
zghorner is mine...He is not going to fall for your skulduggery. I will get him on the path he wants to be on.
