    Game Over for Gamestop? GME down

    Not a reco but I'd fade the bounce by shorting if it loses 189, it's near 190 now at 12:38pm et I'm trying to not trade after 11 or I'd take a shot. Haven't traded it today

    Stress and Trading

    True I'm addicted to trading. Did 104 trades today for a total cost of 60 bucks. If I'd stopped at 11 I was up 320. Thankfully commish free. I'll try that, seriously vs 100bill I'll donate $20 to Red Cross online every time I break a rule. Great idea, thx.

    Stress and Trading

    Makes sense, good to hear it. And thanks for the reminders to follow one's trading rules. I didn't follow my rules again today and paid for it. I was up a few hundred dollars and then gave it all back overtrading afternoon chop. One of my rules is don't trade after 11 a.m., I need to be more...

    Stress and Trading

    Having a nice profitable day today, trading uvxy tza etcetera. Personally I get stressed when I take large stops, to me that's anything over $100, because most of my stops are under $50 / trade, so I trade frequently, so if I over trade I still get death of a thousand cuts. I guess it's just...

    Correction coming? See inverses UVXY TZA SQQQ

    Now's a great time to trade UVXY and other inverses imho, I'm both swing and daytrading them. Mainly I'll be daytrading UVXY. Nice gap up today :D It's very difficult. Lesson learned is it's good to trade the open range breakout spike and tighten t/s just before 10am reversal. Buy the...

    Trading using with candlesticks only and nothing else

    Indicators are largely worthless. What counts is trend, range, volume and breakout chart patterns. One exception is, for swings it's helpful to know where the 200sma is on a 90d chart since other traders follow it.

    Stress and Trading

    I'm doing a lot of daytrading stocks lately, dozens of roundtrips daily. The best stress relief is making winning trades. Also, using automated OTO orders that have my trailing or hard stop set makes a huge difference. Plus really tight .1 to .2 stops

    Bitcoin has topped.

    When really wealthy smart people talk, I usually listen :D

    Bitcoin has topped.

    Bitcoin, like TSLA GME valuations and this ridiculously overbought market, are hard to understand. It usually ends with a spectacular selloff. Daytrading btc related stock like RIOT MARA COIN etc I can see, but I am not buying bitcoin here. I don't trade what I don't understand. Good luck...

    Trading using with candlesticks only and nothing else

    Range, s/r and volume would be helpful too, agree price action alone isn't enough... though it's most important

    volatility vs smoothness

    Right. Also look at the height of the daily candles on a 90 day daily candlestick chart, increasing whole real body heights indicate increasing volatility, which you can also see with the ATR. If you take a look at last week's S&P daily candlestick chart for example, you could see that the...
