    What are the most valuable lessons you have learned?

    Ok, that's the correct way to think about. Although not necessarily a tighter stop that it gets hit too soon. Here is an example from yesterday afternoon of the Micro NQ 1 minute chart: Say you entered after a break of previous high, bar with green arrow on top and set stop to be triggered...

    What are the most valuable lessons you have learned?

    Famous last words. If it sounds like I am dumping on you "been there, done that". Most have. As for high win percentage. For the most part it is misleading at best and meaningless at worst. False sense of security that the ego eats up. Return/risked percentage is what matters, over the long...

    Newbie venting thread…..

    You're a newb so of course you think that. But best to think a good loss is better than a win that you "lucked" {hate that word} into. Your screenname says to me you are focused on the wins, when you should be laser-focused on your losses. In team sports there are offensive and defensive...

    What are the most valuable lessons you have learned?

    TradeStation Inactivity Fee

    Inaccurate fills happen to those who don't how the software and data work together. And can't scratch together 10 trades in 90 days and whine because they will charge you measly $10. Grow a pair.

    Are We Truly Aware of the Potential of Algorithmic Trading?

    Those are names. I asked which "market/instruments"? As in exchanges and symbols. CME & NQU23 perhaps? When I see someone say SP500 I'm thinking they are talking about those shifty CFD'S Europeans are fond of, or all they can get their hands on to trade. Yes?

    Tesla 2023

    Such as owners finding this summer very hot weather, that much of the country has been experiencing, affects range almost as much as very cold weather. And yes that is all EV's not just Teslas. As for the particular complaint, I obviously have no idea whether it is legit or not, but Elon's...

    Are We Truly Aware of the Potential of Algorithmic Trading?

    You don't mention which market/instruments you trade but NQ is up well above 30% so far this year. Similar for other U.S. major market indices. For Algos, just like many discretionary traders, it helps to have "wind against your back" when it comes to having outsized returns. But what happens...

    Tesla 2023

    Tesla reportedly created a team to swat away range complaints. Last year, the automaker was so overwhelmed with complaints around its cars’ ranges that it formed a group known internally as the “Diversion Team” to cancel thousands of range-related customer service appointments, a Reuters...

    And I said (once again) "Tell it to ETJ. He was the one making the comparison, not me." So no I am not wrong. In this case at least.
