    VWAP - Did you try it? Do you use it?

    VWAP, like moving averages, is slightly useful -- as a reference point. But not as useful as other signals like mean reversion pivots when it comes to identifying good entry prices.

    Another $1k winning day... finally

    Points well taken... from what I can tell, most traders who look for ideas from educators are hobbyists and speculators, not people who are going for a career as a trader in a big firm. I do a lot of training on understanding how markets work each day. Eg how to use market internals like...

    Another $1k winning day... finally

    Another $1k winning day... finally

    How to become a successful trader?

    In working with tens of thousands of traders over 20 years I found these simple truths: You guys undertrade large size with much more expensive stop-loss cost than needed, and do so on marginal setups. It is much smarter to take 10 $100 stop losses than one $1,000 stop loss. Understand that...

    Why is Gold down with inflation at 5%?

    When it comes to trading I've learned that price action is all that matters and common sense means nothing. The big picture stuff that talking heads on TV talk about is often irrelevant and detrimental to short-term traders like ourselves. When it comes to gold I trade GDX and DUST, I'm...
