Or rather buy puts on this.

Add to your position sporadically and sell when it increases.

There have been numerous inquiries here about why you can't just buy VIX when it's low and sell on a spike because it never goes to zero. I'm sure the answer is math. Why can't you? Does it reverse split forever? I want to know this.

This is like anything else, no one has any idea and no one can explain anything. Have you ever talked to someone about support? All the people can't agree on where it is. People say sinking price on high volume is bearish. I'm not sure, man, there seems to be a big jump in volume when price...

I had this idea a while ago. It has nothing to do with what just happened.

Do they have options on it? Go long your entire portfolio.

Then VIX is that thing that spikes up but never goes to zero right? Just buy it and sell the spikes.

Maybe I don't get what market makers do, then. Bump for replies to the question.

Increase your losing positions like a prop firm would and most likely you will have a winning strategy.

Looks like these are commonly turning points. I mean I guess you could try to wait for a trend to be established but I feel like that's not working. See the charts. Price goes down, and then it goes down, and then it goes down on some big ass volume spike and then it goes up. Seems like this...

By definition a black swan refers to an experience where your system cannot deal with it. For a trend trader a black swan would be markets that don't go anywhere over an extended time. For a counter trend trader it would be a large trend.

Then if you add another one at 22 you have to move the stop to under 1 away.

This doesn't sound like you are very confident in your positions. Enter, if it goes in my direction keep adding. Picture you adding at 20 with an exit at 19, it goes to 21 and you buy one more. If you move your stop up to 20 your risk is now 2, not 1. Here, an equal move against you will...

Ignore Scottrade and their $7 per trade. I like them but not if i want to trade small shares. If you want to trade like 20 shares at a time is there a place where this is realistic?

Does that mean nope I'm not right?

There is a tiny supply of graphics processing units on the market now because all the ethereum miners are buying them to generate profits. In this case the sellers are in control and they set the price because everyone wants one. A $400 item is now like $800. Price goes up. Is my logic here...

Shady brokers. No interbank volume. Padded spreads. Not trading against other traders but trading against the broker. Not regulated. Horrible platforms. Different prices at different companies. Those are what I've heard, I don't trade Forex ever.

Is it possible to be any more cryptic? I envision a location in which money management saves bad entries SINCE EVERY BIG FUND SEEMS TO DO THIS ANYWAY. If you could pinpoint a turn to 3 points or so why not just but at level, level - 1 and level - 2?

Are you actually arguing that an indicator is made to give signals according to its formula and not to help traders pick profitable entries and exits? So if I made an indicator that was previous low price plus current bar range squared divided by number of bars printed so far this day, that...

I'm joyful that you mentioned that. Stochastic are wonderful in a range bound market. Agree. But, as you cannot predict ahead of time if a market is going to be range bound, it is useless. Obviously that's not what I meant when I said they don't work.
