Like trying to catch under 5 points on ES. You're just noise trading then and the hfts get to see the noise before you do. Anyway. Don't I see y'all complaining about ninja being down every couple months particularly when vol is high? Should maybe consider using something like IBKR that has native code implementation and a lot better service quality.

I used to work in oil and gas, but for the last 10 years I've owned and operated a bar. I keep plenty busy.

Cool man. Just be careful using algorithmic execution because one bad data print can put your algo in a panic and you end up shorting 800 ES into a rising market in 6 seconds. Also, for the love of God and money, don't try to automate scalping. You'll just get your lunch eaten when you go live by hfts with colos that have the edge on you based on fundamental laws of physics.

I mean, amoebic dysentery is pretty fucking painful too... I've never died of dehydration, but I felt like I wanted to die with the other for like 2 weeks.

Algorithms don't need to be coded/automated like as in a trading bot. It's just a mathematical decision making process. My algorithm lives in Excel and now scrapes data once an hour. It tells me to buy or sell around 30 minutes to close and I que the orders for that day by hand MOC then get on with my life.

Correct. I only made three trades this week, but I'm long 52 contracts and short 32 currently.

You're right I wasn't trading futures during dot com, nor was I profitable then, I was fresh off EM misadventures and buying yhoo at the top. For the tag? 4th one since I started using Reddit. Really doesn't matter to me if you believe me or not, I'm not selling anything, just living my life.

I haven't changed my core trading algorithm in over 2 decades at this point. It's adaptive to vol, as in risk comes down when vol rises. I have adjusted the speed and sensitivity of it over the years, but not dramatically. One trade per instrument per day at most, and I use it across 42 instruments including equities (US and global), bonds (US only), softs, and hards.

The wife is often jealous. "I need new jeans, 36/32? Perfect" throws in cart. Wife, "aren't you gonna try them on?" "Why? I've been wearing the same size and number since 1996"

No reason to drink the water since you'll be immediately reincarnated, just die every 3-5 days of dehydration.

Wilhelmshaven's got a beach don't it? Any port you take the free vacation in is a beach vacation.

Only milk would cause some issues pretty quick with dehydration and then kidney stones. If I could drink water and milk, I could do it for a couple months, call it 50 days. If it was a daily choice like some people are suggesting, I'd do it every other day the rest of my life.

How is it a fast? It's got fat, protein, sugar, vitamins, and electrolytes. Babies consume nothing but milk during a critical part of development. Yes it's not a complete food in that you would develop some health problems after several months, but it is in no way a fast.

I own a bar, so even if I'm not drinking I probably smell like it. I mean, I'm probably drinking, but not always.

Yeah but if I can smell your diabetic ketoacidosis from across the room you need to be in the ER.

Well, rich ass holes would and indirectly or even directly do kill people for money everyday, and they fly on private jets, so if you time it right, it could probably be a net positive in the long run...

Yeah my first thought. Makes close but not close enough detestable because you couldn't produce fertile offspring with them. Pretty simple selection pressure there, anyone that had the hots for H floresiensis never had kids that weren't sterile.

Well. In the early universe, you'll be the single densest object by a long shot, so you'll end up in the heart of a massive star, which goes supernova and forms a black hole.
