    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    Pardon? I don't understand your question.

    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    No offense intended, but it sounds to me like your methodology needs more work.

    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    Namath's definition is incomplete. Any correct definition of "gambling" includes "probability of win/loss", not just risk of loss. (Namath went to 'Bama. How smart can he be?) :)

    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    Most traders lose early on in their experience. That's because they're trading on hope instead of knowledge. If you trade with "proper knowledge and discipline" (easier said than done), then you WILL NOT HAVE LOSING STREAKS! Years ago I once had a string of 9 consecutive losers. I have a...

    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    Ditto! You are the first person I've encountered (besides me) on this! Counting cards is most like trading.... you "get the money out" when the odds are in your favor. The Texas Supreme Court ruled that poker is a game of skill, not gambling.

    How long did it take you to realize that you were a gambler?

    What (proper) trading and gambling have in common... 1. Risk of loss, and 2. uncertainty of outcome. What they DON'T have in common is "probability of outcome". When you gamble, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LOSE... You're hoping to prevail against odds which are against you and fixed... and you can...

    Biden wants to raise taxes for social security

    Amazing how the Dem's solution to the budget is ALWAYS "higher taxes" and NEVER "spend tax revenues more efficiently/wisely". :(

    RGB Replacement ASAP!

    Wasn't it FDR who wanted to expand the SCOTUS to 13 members... so that he could add 4 more DemoCraps? I've always found it curious (and annoying) that so many SCOTUS rulings are split along "party" lines. Aren't the Law and Justice supposed to be "blind" rather than political? It's sick that...

    MAGAtards won't wear masks

    Effectiveness of masks in preventing Covid... I'm curious to learn about the "cold and flu" season this year. Thanks(?) to Covid, we've become more cognizant of the value in washing hands (for years the 1st thing I do when coming home after being out in public is to wash my hands.... but now I...

    RGB Replacement ASAP!

    Politics is about POWER! They really don't care much about anything else except MONEY! The Trump administration should try to get her replacement confirmed ASAP. That's what the Left/DemoCraps would do if the "shoe were on the other foot"... as Obama stated in 2016. With the election near...

    Is this the sellof we have been waiting for?

    Can't tell for sure. Some different technical scenarios. However... the Nas has corrected ~10-11%, the SP about 8%. That's in the range of a "common correction". If that's all it's going to be, should be good to "buy this dip here"... could be this correction goes further, too, so use a...

    Can options replace futures?

    They are different enough that I wouldn't say either can effectively replace the other. Index Futures are like "trading ETFs with leverage".

    The Mysterious LondonTraders Accused ofManipulating OilMarkets....

    HOGWASH! The US equities markets have for years been manipulated "up the wazoo" by the Fed. Many claim gold has also.

    The Mysterious LondonTraders Accused ofManipulating OilMarkets....

    How are you at Price TA? If you were good at it you wouldn't need to concern yourself with "whether or not a market is being manipulated and by whom". IOW... even when/if a market is allegedly manipulated, there is a "price character to how it behaves". You can read that and get your plays on...

    The Left has brainwashed the young to "Hate Trump"... but they don't even know why!

    Obama actually harmed us all! Obama did a LOT of horrible, "America-hating" things. If we conservatives and patriots were as uncivilized, greedy, and stupid as today's Lefty youth, we'd righteously have rampaged against him! But Nooooo. We held our tongues... understanding he won the...

    The Left has brainwashed the young to "Hate Trump"... but they don't even know why!

    Just what has Trump or his policies done to make the Left hate him so virulently? Hate him to the point of attacking anyone who claims to be his supporter? Hate him to the point of rioting... to destroying property, business, livelihoods... and harming/killing people? I understand... you Left...

    This is the 3rd Close Below the 50 dma in 2 weeks —

    Normally to consider a level "broken", price needs to take out a "buffer"... to contain false breaks. Some claim the buffer should be 2%. Buffers are subjective and like stops... there is an "art" to them. The 50 is still within the range of "holding". (StockCharts.com shows the low for this...

    Good Question

    Sad but true. It's pathetic and immoral what those who "lust for the power" will do. :(

    Millisecond resolution in Time & Sales, US stocks ?

    If you have the least amount of concern about any kind of "latency", you're "fishin' in the wrong hole".

    Good Question

    Anyone have a good answer on this one??? The Democratic leaders of Congress knelt in the halls of Congress for about 9 minutes, for the death of a black man named George Floyd and other persons. I have never seen them kneel for a fallen Police Officer. I have never seen them kneel for a...
