    Doing virutal or actual trading could damage human brains?

    Why so many beginners get into daytrading, with sky-high expectations?

    In PVT trading, as you have read many times, 1 out of 8 trades in position trading has to be exited as a FBO. In SCT trading early on I recommended doing wash trades for practice. As time passed and the learning was more formalized that has become unecessary since there is a anti-whiplash...

    Why so many beginners get into daytrading, with sky-high expectations?

    This may be a beginner thread. The print is a print of a person learning. As you see he has a good handle on what he is doing as he learns. You may not be able to grasp what the market offers. So here is an attachment of intermediate trading. As you see this leaves a lot on the...

    Why do you care so much about having an "edge?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from rolextrader: Correct. However, once you have or learned that edge, you must have your mental act together or you will have difficulty unless you are using a fully automated system which doesn't...

    Strategies for a beginner

    You will find you have plenty of time after open before the price moves. Take your list, for example, you have some stocks on it that did not move. Others did start to move at some point. The ones that jumped or gapped on open were telegraphing the prior pm. These offsets in price...

    Doing virutal or actual trading could damage human brains?

    When I was in academics and immediately after, I was doing the NGO problem solving. AT UCSC, I ran two of the five divisions at that time. One was the original Environmental Group and the other was Academic Interface Programs. There were many GO RFP's at the time that espoused...

    Is there a rule of thumb for this?

    It is true that when a trend approaches S or R, the market does deal with the situation. For most people the values of S or R are considered horizontal lines. This may or may not be true. But ir doesn't matter. If you take one other case similar to your Q's, you have most cases in hand...

    Identifying Sharp Price Moves

    For front running stock gaps (which I take to be unusually sharp thrusts), the tell is seen way below a 13 type length of measure and things like sig deviations. Second you change the point the signal is generated. Recently an example of NTRS doing a run up for 2 to 3 day position trading...

    Why just there are NOT many female traders?

    the data is interesting. divide those who start into two classes. divide the successful into two classes. Compare the intra class ratios. compare the inter class ratios. Sorry guys. You don't want to know why and since you don't lets keep it that way.

    Iterative Refinement

    Just a passing comment. This is a nicely annotated snippet. So I see an open and it "talks to me" as usual. I feel the pre 9:30 EST is there and I "see" volume at Extraordinary right out of the gate. Just saying "Why wait? and I'm off to the races. Not talking in an after the fact...

    Price action is king, but don't diss indicators yet

    rcanfiel may want to considergiving up predicting as part of his, or any strategy. Predicting is not necessary. My view is, since it isn't necessary, why would anyone who works on strategies ever incorporate it in a strategy????
