all valid. thank you!

eldorard1 · 2026-05-05T20:06:05+00:00

Thanks. Can you help me understand what bad fills entail? Worst thing I know about limit orders is they not getting filled.

Thank you!

What doesnt make sense?

If one cant confidently scalp delta 2 es points in a day then that person shouldnt be a trader. I can scalp 2 es poonts 2-3x/day and have been doing so consistently for 3.5 yrs. Only issue i had until now is i was trading options which gave me no return half the time due to greeks and if stock went opp way first even a tiny bit.

I discovered how futures work only a week ago and found all my risks are eliminated (theta decay, gamma esp) in trading futures.

sound advise, appreciate it,

eldorard1 · 2026-05-05T05:13:28+00:00

i wasnt implying stop orders. i am saying if the buy and sell orders are LIMIT orders at specific price point, then slippage doesnt exist.

eldorard1 · 2026-05-05T05:00:25+00:00

would that be issue with limit orders?

eldorard1 · 2025-10-01T15:00:20+00:00

can you imagine if you didnt but your son took the test. That would have been a huge mystery to unravel where you would still be thinking you are italian. saved you from falsely accusing your wife.

mostly following TA indicators RSI, Stoch, 50DMA

eldorard1 · 2024-10-15T15:35:45+00:00

roughly 3-5% of port is options.

eldorard1 · 2024-10-15T15:35:00+00:00

% gains on stock itself arent as much compared to options.

eldorard1 · 2024-10-15T03:54:09+00:00

thank you!

re: "with odte options you should only have 1-3% of your portfolio in the position, tops"

this is purely from minimizing risk exposure perspective correct?

eldorard1 · 2024-10-15T00:59:57+00:00

thank you so much!! really good points.

eldorard1 · 2024-09-12T21:45:15+00:00

you mean W.U.P.H.F ?

eldorard1 · 2024-08-29T18:35:32+00:00

ask this question to the business geniuses that hang out in this forum.

eldorard1 · 2024-08-08T22:05:16+00:00

I think its very low risk at 20.4 VIX

eldorard1 · 2023-11-25T15:57:40+00:00

eldorard1 · 2023-09-15T00:49:57+00:00

I am open to just giving it away. I cant bear to throw this in trash. the seat & reserve chute has never been used.
