    all novices:before you start trading read this

    Not a good analogy. Proficiency at golf requires "physical ability" to execute. The "physical aspects" of trading only involve clicking a mouse. Anyone can do that. The difficult part of trading is "between the ears".

    all novices:before you start trading read this

    Trading successfully is doable. It's not as "easy" as anyone might say. Trading "correctly" is conceptually simple. Difficult to execute well. Takes quite a while to cope with the challenges and "get your ducks in a row".

    Insider Trading: A Stricter Diktat On Trading Window(Bloomberg)

    Sounds like the diff from former, "you're not supposed to do it", to "you can't do it". Insider trading is a form of theft! (More cryptic and subtle than taxation, but theft nonetheless.)

    How Xi Jinping's colleagues rejected an 'unequal' trade deal

    The Chinese already have an "unfair trade advantage*" (handed to them by prior US administrations), and don't want to give it up. That's what Trump's "trade war" is all about. *Ironically... if Trump is successful in negotiating-away China's advantage, it will mean higher prices for American...

    "Common sense" in Technical Trading

    Much to the disbelief of most, proper understanding/application of "Price TA" works in all markets and all time frames. You're on the right track. KISS, baby!

    "...The motorist may not proceed, may not turn left or right, and, most interestingly, in the second sign from the bottom, may not reverse out. In essence, “You’re stuck here and whatever you do to get out, you’re in violation of the rules we’ve placed upon you.” The key to governmental...

    What's Holding This Market Up?

    Large "Triple Top"/equivalent possible in Dow, SP, and small caps (NYA is weaker). NASDAQ, even with the FANGs, is looking like a possible large double top. For the market to be bullish and march smartly ahead, the possible topping levels need to be broken and left behind. Raising stops on...

    What's Holding This Market Up?

    Problem with balloon juice (hot air)... while it expands and rises, it also cools.

    What's Holding This Market Up?

    Plentiful, cheap, easy money from the Fed Corporate buybacks Almost daily jaw-boning from Trump, Kudlow, Clarida or some other Fed hack Trade accordingly.

    Nvidia vs. AMD

    If you're looking for best gaming performance, must do some research. As for financial market trading, both are equally competent.... as graphics requirements for trading are very low.

    I have the Holy Grail, but why am I still poor!?

    QUOTE="Pension_Admin, post: 4859922, member: 60729"]It has a big ass trend following label in the front and a creepy smiling face of Archimedes on the back. I know this is the real thing, because it is hard to hold tight. For anyone have one of these sitting around at home, how do you use it...

    What is the best market to trade at night ?

    Agree. The ES trades just fine overnight. Doesn't have the same profit potential as during RTH, but it's usually not as volatile and whippy either.

    Ray masterfully suggests we may need alternatives to QE

    The Fed has contributed mightily to our inflated markets/debt bubble... kicked into high gear with the "Greenspan put". Should never have done that. Has created a "no way out" condition where somebody is going to get crushed... and it might be all of us. Just as Odumbo will go down in history...

    Ray masterfully suggests we may need alternatives to QE

    Yeah, we need an alternative... for the Fed to BUTT OUT... and let markets adjust to value.

    Infamous Double Top on All 3 Stock Indices

    Alternatively.... I'm thinking the "trade war" outlasts Trump with China the victor on the other side. (After all, they hold the advantage now and are unlikely to give up much of it easily.) "The Fed writes the market letter"... now as always.

    Infamous Double Top on All 3 Stock Indices

    Yeah, but it's tiny. The important parts are the "tops line" and the December low. All the rest is noise. (BTW... though the H&S is a classical formation, it's not all that reliable. That is, it many times looks like that for a while and then ends up not. A classic H&S doesn't occur all...

    Infamous Double Top on All 3 Stock Indices

    I would call it more of a "triple top"... more of a semantic difference, as the "head" is usually more pronounced in a H&S... but the implicantion is the same.

    China retaliation predictions?

    I think Trump is correct in trying to balance-out our trade with China. The imbalance is not Trump's doing, but rather from prior administrations... and is likely to America's benefit to "correct". China, of course, is on the advantaged side of all of this and is likely unwilling to relinquish...

    Infamous Double Top on All 3 Stock Indices

    The jury is still out on this just yet, but it could be that we look back on this time as exactly what you said. Don't want to be on the wrong side of it.
