    Frustrating to Buy Tops & Sell Bottoms

    Isn't what you're you're supposed to do, or am I reading this funny??

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    Kind of reminds me of marriage. Easy to get into, a bitch to get out of!

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    Have you actually "left"? Been in the works for years it seems... like you can't seem to "seal the deal"? (Personally, I'm all for the UK leaving the EU. F' them!!)

    More than just mischief... plain-ass GREED! Shame on them! :(

    Bill Ackman Shorts Over $20BN In Credit To Hedge Next Crash

    I'm just noticing as a "direction to perhaps lean". I don't care what anybody says about anything. Whatever is going to happen of significance is revealed in the price chart.... of anything and everything. Being "in tune" with that is golden. I learned long ago about trying to figure out...

    Trump officials mocked Democrats in 2016 as 'sore losers' for not accepting election results

    Can't read your post because I have you on "ignore" for being a dumbass. However... With Trump's Electoral College win.. as mandated by the US Constitution... nobody was calling "foul" except those who wanted to ignore the constitution and usurp victory because of the popular vote. Today's...

    FIFO rule kills futures traders profits!

    That's your 1st problem. Very difficult to scalp the ES because of its "high noise".

    FIFO rule kills futures traders profits!

    I don't see how it does. Unless the way remaining contracts are displayed (average?) causes you to trade differently... ?? You buy some at some price. You sell at another price. Each contract has an entry and exit price + net result. Don't see how that's "killing you". ??

    Do daytraders who trade full time pay Social Security or Medicare taxes?

    Depends. If you trade through a business then pay profits out to yourself as salary, then yes. Otherwise, no. SS and Medicare taxes are payroll taxes, not paid on capital gains.

    High Leverage trading with Metatrader (400:1, 500:1)

    I doubt the notion of "mischievous"... you know, posting blarney just to goof on other people. But as to "inexperienced, hopeful, dumbass" posts about many topics... plenty of that.

    Bill Ackman Shorts Over $20BN In Credit To Hedge Next Crash

    Ackman is anticipating rates to rise. Equity markets won't like that much.

    High Leverage trading with Metatrader (400:1, 500:1)

    Ditto. Leverage should be considered as "vs. your entire trading capital", not just against one small account or trade. (I've traded a long time and have only occasionally been levered even 2:1. I was inspired to mostly avoid leverage by something I saw on a bumper sticker once.... "Shit...

    Pro's & Con's to buying Index Futures with further out Expiration?

    Futures contracts were designed and intended as "hedging instruments"... hence the high leverage. They welcome speculators like us into the market to broaden it and improve liquidity. In no way is a "long dated" futures contract appropriate for anything except losing money... and likely a...

    ES highest high of the next four years?

    Biden has mentioned his "plan" for $11-TRILLION in stimulus. If anything like that materializes, you can bet on skyrocketing new highs in the markets* AND inflation! *In case you're thinking, WOWZA... think again. In the Turkish market of 1982-2005, their equity market went up 20,000x...

    Classic Double Top on Nasdaq

    You really should just keep quiet. Your inexperience is showing. Not only that, you're being an ass about it. (You're not scoring any points having joined ET a month ago and telling people, "you're full of crap". I can do that because I'm like the Godfather... but not you... until you show...

    Classic Double Top on Nasdaq

    Possibly even a 3x top! At some point the market WILL top out... and it may look exactly like this! And while it may not hold if/when soon again tested... only a noob would disregard this potential.

    Pro's & Con's to buying Index Futures with further out Expiration?

    I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but your notion is ridiculous. If you want a long-term play, look for something like LEAPs.

    I'd Like To See The SCOTUS Declare This Vote "Null And Void"-- if they can do such a thing

    What's left of Biden's brain will likely have degraded to goo before the end of his term. What about a Harris presidency? Any American* comfortable with that notion? *I don't consider Lefty/DemoCraps as American, you understand.
