Real in what sense? Graphically, a trend is obviously a trend if price is moving consistently in one direction in preference to the other. But we're not here for artistic appreciation. TA features have no value unless they suggest a higher probability of something happening than 50%. The...

TA has meaning within its context. So statistically a certain TA formation on a 5-minute chart might have validity for the next 20 x 5-minute bars. The same formation on a daily chart might have validity for the next 20 x daily bars. The problems traders sometimes get into is where they...

Don't let a f'ing lawyer take charge. You'll just end up getting screwed.

Well, I'm just wondering if the House MUST pass the case to the Senate and if the Senate MUST hear it. And if the Senate MUST find either guilty or not guilty and not any other verdict. It seems very possible the Democrats might wish to back away from this whole thing rather than face an...

Sorry, do you mean Yes they MUST hear they case or Yes they CAN hear the case but don't have to?

I'd say if the big players in the market thought impeachment and its outcome would be seriously negative they would be selling already. Or at the very least not buying. Its probable he will be impeached but this is not likely to lead to conviction by the Senate. The market has such a relaxed...

I intend to have my PA trade for me when the time comes. Maybe the nurse can lend a hand in the afternoons.

Never never never buy because some guy you don't know said....................... Oh, never mind.....

You just have to be realistic as a pupil. If someone teaches you everything they know and everything you need, what will they sell you next year? If you are making abundant money every month from what they taught you, you won't be tempted to buy their next course or book or follow their trading...

To say that TA is not reliable is a sweeping statement and needs challenging. To be correct you would need to have tested all forms of TA, all of its indicators, patterns and features, in all time-frames. I have to assume this hasn't been done, it would be a life-time's work. But core TA does...

I think traders offering training etc. is just them using a relatively easy way to make more money. Its just another form of trading. You can never have too much money.

Was he a trader?

I don't accept that market behaviour is infinitely fractal at infinitely smaller time-frames.

Anyone who makes trading decisions based on TV news needs their head examining. But that's because the job of the media is to attract viewers, not to inform.

Professionals in the markets always ramp up risk in good times. Sure, bad times will return, but that's no reason not to maximise profits beforehand. Amateur private retail traders on the other hand, notoriously ramp up risk when they've lost money. And so they lose more. But if you're living...

Bull markets always discount bad news. This is a reliable test for the markets's risk tolerance. Its not manipulation, its just the way the market works.

1 min? Don't think I've ever even opened a M1 chart. but this must be something you're familiar with - lot of people say TA features on such a small time-frame are illusionary - with so many bars per hour and per day, its inevitable you going to see uptrends and downtrends and head and...

Almost true. In reality, s/r levels are not DNA that categorically identify anything. That does not mean they are not useful. If you use rational and consistent rules to identify s/r levels appropriate to the rules of your strategy, and you apply the usual risk and money management discipline...

Technical traders don't trade the news because they have no balls?

You bought at a good time, which is good, but you bought without an exit plan, which is not good. If you have a better prospect in sight, sell all now and re-invest all or part of the proceeds. A better prospect might mean a stronger or more secure dividend payment stream, not just a more...
