If I had 100M I would be. The problem with size is you start moving the market. No one blinks when you move 50k position. 500k might be a different story.
Are you really saying that I am British? Are you that dumb? And on top, are you insulting an entire country just to argue with me? So outside options trading you are a dumb fuck.
Proper trading is simple.. "Price TA, KISS, baby"! (IOW, "trade what you see".... a basic principle that couldn't be any more simple.) Difficulties arise from dealing with the schmutz between a trader's ears.
Depends what you're trading. $500k is easy-peasy in large "high volume handle" stocks and ETFs like QQQ and SPY.
My second guess was SA but you once threatened me in PM (lol) and we had a discussion that I wasn't "local" and you showed a UK location on your profile. Eidetic memory.
Is trading actually easy, in total? No way in hell. Can it be perceived as easy sometimes due to luck/market conditions/whatever? Sure. (This assuming easy is a synonym of simple which is not entirely true, but it's been the word of choice the last few pages.)
What makes you say that. Today if I want to trade, all I have to do is click a mouse. When I started you had to phone and talk to a broker, convince him that you really wanted to make the trade and hope he could get you a good fill.
