    ROBINHOOD BANNING trading on $AAL ...... AMERICAN AIRLINES. Are you out your mind? At what point are we completely removing the ability to trade and invest at free will here? Madness

    I have a friend/ investor that made low 9 figures trading small caps over 15 years. Most legacy based shops wouldn’t really take him serious if he walked into an IC meeting. But they would worship at the feet of a guy who was an MD at Goldman for 4 years and did nothing but

    My entire life and career were changed by a single phone call. No doubt, it was God shining His light down on me. I went to a non-target school (LIU) for undergrad. I was completely obsessed with trading. I blew up a few hundred bucks early on in college, but eventually stumbled

    Bessent’s interview with Tucker Carlson reaffirmed a lot of views that many of us already held—but I think it’s worth highlighting a few key points that are particularly relevant. First, they’re 100% serious about addressing the wealth imbalance. He spoke about record European
    Bessent has been very transparent about the administration’s game plan. The strategy revolves around three key initiatives: 1.De-leveraging the government by shedding excess labor. 2.Deregulating the financial system, which, in turn, re-leverages the private sector.

    When you’re coming up in the business, you tend to believe that hedge fund managers are these brilliant, larger-than-life figures—rulers of the universe with the uncanny ability to print money year after year. You put them on a pedestal. But then you actually meet your heroes and

    People are going to chase this headline hard come Sunday night and into Monday. Equities are likely to rip higher, and the vol sellers will come out in full force. But then the cold reality will set in—this isn’t the same market regime. The reflexive bid that used to drive
    Finally the news US tech investors were dreaming of…chips/smartphones/computers exempt from tariffs. US Big Tech spoke and the White House made the right move at the right time. Massive relief for market and tech stocks into Sunday night 🏆👇🐂

    This is an elementary example, but it illustrates how real order flow trading actually works. It’s never about some retail based indicator like MACD, RSI, etc. One of the earlier prop firms I worked at did a phenomenal job instilling in me how this type of trading really
    We invited @dwarkesh_sp to tackle a foundational question in quant trading: What does it take to build a predictive signal from market data? We loved showing him what makes work at HRT so fun — and why, in Marc’s words, “it occupies a lot of very smart people for years.”

    The $GME / $AMC saga raises questions about the moral fiber of the industry. One man with a large following has been advocating for a stock for four years and has invested his own money. How is this different from the following practices? 1) For years, banks have issued

    I come from a broken family so growing up I was always envious of Thanksgiving time. So before you push away good old uncle Jim today for being “annoying” just know there are thousands of people out there that would kill for a real family. God bless and happy thanksgiving 🦃

    Here’s stage two. The face ripping bounce to make you believe it’s all over.
    This is the market that’s going to give you a good headline followed by a face ripping bounce that makes you believe “it’s all over”. Then you turn your head and we are 2% lower than where the headline hit. This will not go away in a day or two.

    THE TRUTH BEHIND 0DTE OPTIONS: Over the last few months, we have noticed a lot of incorrect sell-side research reports and misleading headlines around 0DTE options. We took the time to dive into the data and extract what it is really saying. ambrusgroup.com/research

    Just to be clear, the short-vol trade still has not capitulated. That flow is still active and very aggressive, as large footprints continue to show up as of yesterday and today. To our knowledge, only two smaller desks have been carted off. The Vega rotated on the street over
