The Really Useless Thread

At best he's a troll, at worst he's a scammer. Both are bad. And I don't even think it's one person. Have you seen some of his earlier posts (all of two months ago)? English was clearly not his first language and he was making grammatical mistakes ...

Geppy vs. GJscalper - a duel to the death!

Thanks for the crystal clear explanation TF. I'll have another crack at it on Monday. Have a good one!

Thanks Fool. Yeah, I don't have much experience with vertical spreads, so I'll take your advice. The thing that I find attractive about wide spreads is the lower commission (compared to several narrow spreads over a similar range). But there ain't ...

Tried to fill an SPY Sep 210/205 vertical put last night for 85c, but it just missed. Would have been good R:R if the S&P goes south. I don't have the energy to trade tonight so we'll see what next week brings. Have a good one

Mmm... yummy! That place is like a buffet for us bears

Glad to see you back on the horse, TF. These SPY put spreads do look awfully tempting, don't they? Might try some of those myself. I hate that I can't trade these things until late at night my time though. Unlike you I need a proper night's sleep! ...

In my opinion, the main edge is in catching the big moves and letting the winners run. The rest is just build-up - winning a little, losing a little, keeping your account together while you wait for the two or three big moves of the year. Everyone ...

95% of the time Price will close above or below the open price

Good questions carbonado. About the daily start time, I think that depends on which instuments you are trading. I trade mostly the Asian session (Nikkei, JPY pairs, sometimes AUD) so I use midnight GMT for the open. When I trade GBP.USD I use 06:00 ...

95% of the time Price will close above or below the open price

In simple terms, this is the secret of trading: 1. Only buy above the daily open, only sell below it. 2. For even better results, make sure you trade away from yesterday's close and the weekly open too. 3. Enter when price breaks out from a ...

95% of the time Price will close above or below the open price

You work very hard, Zelo, and are very generous. I can't help thinking you're trying to reinvent the wheel though! Isn't there any chart software already available that does what you need? By the way, for text-to-speech I use the Google TTS API. ...

Cool and Free Chart App (can be extended)

I second that. Thank you Zeebs for picking up the baton. I don't trade options much, as you know, but I do like to dabble from time to time and will participate when I can. The Fool will be back, I'm sure. He just needs some time away from all this ...

The Options Thread

Thanks for the video, it looks great. I'll watch it tonight hopefully. By the way, one quick question - is the x-axis of those graphs the number of trades? If it is number of trades then it looks like you're taking a trade on almost every bar. ...

System Development

Very interesting Sis. I do like a bit of machine learning! Of course your systems must assume that past price behaviour is predictive of future price behaviour, which to some people is controversial, but personally I think that this is true more ...

System Development

Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe the EU was doomed to fail right from the start. It was a great forward-thinking idea, completely inline with the globalisation trend, but I guess a lot of people just aren't ready for it yet. My wife summed it up ...

Let's Trade Options

I agree. And you've got me into options trading again, which is a good thing! Thanks

Let's Trade Options

Hey chaps, What a bloody emotional day yesterday. Very sad for the UK, Europe and possibly the rest of the world. And there's a chance the UK won't even exist in the future. Just 3 or 4 little countries wondering what the hell went wrong The only ...

Thanks for the trouble Fool-sensei. I've also found the info on my Interactive Broker's trading platform, as below: image Seems like you can trade it right up until Friday close if you want. Yeah, I see what you mean. My $17 put spread is also in ...
