first of all I would trade only 1 or 2 different instruments. In an orchestra, you would also not try to play everything. Then, you have to accept, that even with a setup that is working longterm, you will have losing streeks in certain market conditions. The biggest mistake is, to adopt the...

the FED will continue to buy back bonds to lower interest rates as long as it works. If the market begins to ask for a risc margin and thus the interest rates will rise it will be to late anyway. There will be a point of no return (maybe 6% on the 10y, no idea) where we will se a complete Bond...

although I agree I don't see why this is going to change. All those smart people who think this is "artificial" and are short or flat are not understanding, that there will never be a way back to normal. There are 3 things that can happen. 1) Its going on for a long long time and people will...

we know that the unconcious part decides within 1/2 second wether we like someone or not. It has a speed that works maybe 1000x faster than the concious part. It is especially good and fast in pattern recognition. So its all we would need for good trading ? All trading books I know about...

I partly disagree. You need instinct (which has nothing to do with hard work but with lots of trades you actually made) and the right mindset to cut losses if your instinct proves you wrong. The unconscious part of your brain is your best friend but also your worst enemy. Because most traders...

I think everything you said is about right. So what is your conclusion ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jllJ-HeErjU Everything the girl said in the video was true 2 years ago and still SHE was the idiot because she did not buy the fucking dip. Its so funny...

shouldn't we also add the battery wear to the driving costs ? If you need a new batterie every 100.000km and the cost is 10.000 Dollar for one batterie package (currently its more like 20k) then the cost per 100km is 10 Euro. By the way, Tesla is a great stock to trade. The recovery after the...

didn't the climate - clowns from the IPCC and Al Gore tell us exactly the opposite ?

I would like to add, at least from my personal experience: If there is a move which doesn't make sense it very often continues in this "wrong" direction so I learned to reverse the position and go with the "strange" move. If you think a move does not make sense, probably you are not the only...

Luck was on my side on this trade, taking profits for 1/2 the position at 18$ per share.

this is not a non-event. Could cause big costs and reputation when Tesla has to replace 10k batterie packages.

...making a notice for a new trade idea: Buy a Tesla car, short the hell out of the stock and then set fire to the batteries or short circuit them. BTW: There are also batterie powered sailplanes. A friend of mine uses one (Antares) and had an accident on the rode. The plane in the trailer set...

Maverick, I completely agree. Was trading TSLA all day and had lots of fun. I also trade Fdax and it still is a very good instrument to trade. The environment changes and you have to adopt. FDax also trades different from a few years ago.

We from Germany just shake our heads upon whats happening in USA. Healthcare insurance for every citizen should be self-evident. Its a shame that one of the richest countries in the world needs to discuss about this.

what I found is that the word "manipulation" is mostly used by Traders who are short and the market is rising against them. If you think QE and other things is manipulation because its changing the market environment yes, I agree. Its definitely having a strong influence. But its part of the...
