    Any Day Trading Advice/Books/etc?

    Trade with small size until you're profitable for at least 2 months. This way if it ends up not working out, you won't have lost a ton of money. One-three good weeks in a row is not enough confirmation, as I learned myself.

    Finally closing this dead end.

    That's the question I have now that I'm on the way out. Are these courses seemingly sincere courses really all a scam? Is everyone simply extracting cash from newbies excited to reach the dream, while they know deep down that a true edge is more than stop losses and flag/consolidation patterns...

    Finally closing this dead end.

    A mentor can help shortcut the time to learn those basics of risk management and not stock chasing. But that's just the foundation to not blow your money in two days. It doesn't teach a profitable edge. There's a guy on youtube, Adam Khoo. He has great videos on risk/reward, and making sure it...

    Finally closing this dead end.

    This is my feeling about how trading with regards to my life. No need to be insulted. I'm not continuing because it's not my true passion. If it's yours, keep the fuck at it.

    Finally closing this dead end.

    I have been immersed in trading for the past year. And it's finally time for me to move on. It's been a great journey. I learned alot about myself, and improved as a person. I faced failure more times than I can remember, and picked myself up again, each time becoming better. My understanding...

    "Common sense" in Technical Trading

    If you see a consolidation, do you get in during it, or wait for the trend to resume?

    Operating with volatility

    I was lucky with that today, got in right before the pop. Which is nice because all of his tweets last week screwed me over. At least today things were already pointing up before the news. Last week everything was going short and he sent it back up.

    Another gap down. Thanks Trump.

    In general you're right, but these longs happened as soon as the news came out, with extremely high volume on the ETF. They were directly connected to the Sander's tweet, and tariff press conferences. It's been three days since we had bowl shaped daily volume on the SPY. We're getting volume...

    Another gap down. Thanks Trump.

    The problem is that the market has tried going down this whole week, and then his The problem is that the market was trying to go down this past week, and his tweets sent it long. There was no way to be right, unless you went long as soon as news came in. When his tweets are in line with the...

    Another gap down. Thanks Trump.

    I'm assuming that means you were long? I had a frustrating time as well. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the market completely changed midday because of tweets or updates.

    Best service for quick market news?

    I will certainly let it run with the news, but in my case today, I saved a chunk of money by getting out of my shorts when the market reversed back up on the "constructive talk" news with China. I was lucky to see an article online, but if I knew earlier that's why it reversed I never would have...
