Yup, if you aren't careful, you can get run over dollar cost averaging. Best place to do that is with treasuries. And one had better deeply understand how they move.

Speaking of the 'holy grail.' Deep pockets + ability to dollar cost average + ability to hold a trade for an extended period of time = holy grail.

I thought one of the premises leading to a bot is that it never tires and works relentlessly...lol.

I believe it. In my opinion, learning to trade requires a full-time effort. Most retail traders can't devote a full-time effort, because they have full-time day jobs. So, what do they do?

Hmm, I'm not attacking the veracity of your charts when I ask the following: Does the typical trader, here, trade the four year, daily time frame? I suspect that you have to be highly capitalized to position trade that time frame.

Is that a trick question? I say that, because I thought they were all useless.

1. VectorBT 2. Zipline-Reloaded 3. Create your own back tester. All require some understanding of the Python programming language. 4. I believe TradingView has a back tester.

I wonder which is more damaging to the brain-- perpetual sleep deprivation or prolonged use of sleep medication? My problem with fasting is that I have to eat something before going to bed.

I have the same reasoning. It sucks to wait 20+ days to get paid. I've been looking into either Axia Futures or Gary Norden's course. Nevertheless, my goal is to migrate to day trading, or at least incorporated into my skillset.

This is worthy of pinning.

ChatGPT won't replace programmers. It's a tool that can make programmers better and more efficient. I think the tool offers more value to novice developers than seasoned ones.

ThinkorSwim is the best hands down. Although I trade with a futures IB, I refuse to use their subpar charting platforms. Thankfully, Schwab didn't tamper with ToS during its acquisition of TDAmeritrade.

The answer might be in the bond market. Equites and bonds are inversely related (this isn't a hard and fast rule, because at times both can rally and sell off in sync). On Friday, the bonds sold off. Why did the bonds sell-off? Well, strong job numbers mean the possibility of added...

Get some Ambien CR. It helped tremendously. Then my doctor ceased prescribing it to me about a decade ago, because of some bullshit about risk of addiction. What's worse needing Ambien or being a walking zombie? I've recently attempted to change my sleep schedule to try scalping during RTH...
