Thanks man. Yea I know resume gaps are bad. I have a background in the oilfield (drilling fluids engineer/ "mud engineer") so if it's booming I'm hired, if it's dead I got no chance. Luckily I have enough cash flow from assets that the basics are covered...And that's the real secret for people...

was right about gold, wrong about copper. more wrong about copper than i was right about gold so not a great trade. I exited the short copper at a loss and closed the long gold contract by accident so instantly reentered long @ 2545.1...held for a short time but exited due to sideways trash.

When I was day trading I just stuck to CL. That makes sense to me as there was enough daily movement to more than get your nut. But I dont see an issue with watching a handful of futures if I am only making a few trades a week. And what better time to explore other markets than sim?

price action = movement of price over time. no road map, just get better. there isn't any reason to plan if i can't make money in sim. probably same rabbit hole as before. haven't had a job since 2018 when I was 33 years old...the thought of going back is foreign feeling...borderline...

despite probably pissing in the wind im going to continue. I am removing the micro russell from my list as it's just too fucking choppy i really don't see how anyone could stand trading it. MCL - short bias. downtrend on all relevant timeframes. approaching support in that ~$67 range. Going to...

Im with you on the comment about seriousness...its called serious business for a reason. a few things though...I am not day trading so 3 trades a day is no good. I only traded one thing (CL) when i was doing intraday stuff but now that I am taking multi day trades i decided to have more than...

When you feel that someone who knows is right It's like What the fuck Man

thank you.

C. never even heard of elitetrader

. sounds about right. actual edge can only be found in the hardest most complicated shit.

idk why the hell I can't give it up lol. I've been more active on ET lately and have decided to paper trade in order to develop better price action skills. I abandoned longer term trading in favor of intraday stuff about 2 years ago. My account had dwindled to such a low level i felt intraday...

I don't know anything about waves, but that ~4.10 resistance is kicking its ass. today it looks to be trying to work its way up but we'll see I guess.

"According to the tax code, short- and long-term losses must be used first to offset gains of the same type. But if your losses of one type exceed your gains of the same type, then you can apply the excess to the other type." - fidelity your leaps will be LTCG, your hedges will be short term...

"Is there a better way to do this" Perhaps reducing position size to allow a more loose stop placement?

Yea exactly maybe he is wanting to collect some premium in case the trade goes against him? Idk man

yea lol. OPs question is odd...short the underlying expecting price to drop with trend reversal...and selling puts maybe as a hedge? idk

that definitely reads like a shill.

Yea I've never been bored but I have been overly excited...practically manic over some huge wins. Terribly embarrassing lack of control.

I got a solid tip you might not read in a book. No matter how much money you have...be sure your first account is no more $10k...$5k might be even better. Starting out completely green never having any exposure to financial markets with zero guidance, a $100k account, and big dreams was...
