Your point about the Fed intervention is a valid one. However, inflation is more psychological than economical. Ask any Venezuelans, who have lived with runaway inflation for years now, whether they give rat's ass about it. You just need to buckle down and spend less, they'll likely say. Those...

I've been here on and off since 2000, and AFAIK there have always been futures traders exchanging questions and answers amongst themselves. Just look at ES Journal, which dates back to 2006. I dunno why the OP thinks there are still stones left unturned.

Why Lines Zones Matter Traders often forget that support and resistance are zones and not just lines. Many traders draw horizontal lines to represent support and resistance and fall into the mistake of thinking that these lines accurately represent levels. The fact is that support and...

A bear chased two hikers. One hiker, while being chased, suddenly stopped to put on running shoes. As he was changing out of his hiking boots, his companion looked at him in horror and exclaimed, “What the hell are you doing? You’ll never outrun the bear if you stop now!” Calmly, the other hiker...

You mean political pandering. But that regulation should have been imposed in November of 2021 when the bear market began rearing its ugly head, not 2023 when the S&P500 nearly recovered all of its bear market losses. Not only are retail traders bad at timing, so are all these politicians.

I highly doubt you'll say the same just 15 minutes prior to expiration. :)

SEOUL, Nov 27 (Nikkei) - South Korea's ban this month on short-selling of stocks has been welcomed by the country's vocal army of retail investors who claim the practice favors institutional counterparts but criticized by analysts as a government ploy to win their support in national legislative...

Can I somehow check if uBO's filters are up to date? Certainly! Please visit https://drhyperion451.github.io/does-uBO-bypass-yt/. If it's green, the ID matches, which means the filters were updated already for the latest script. If it's red, it means we're either still working on a fix or the...

And I bet you signed into your account, which would totally defeat the purpose of using the "private" mode. If you didn't sign in and you're still stuck with ads, try installing UBlock Origin extension.

So you do use an adblocker after all. The best way to bypass these annoying ads is to use adblockers in Incognito mode (if you're running Chromium-based browsers). BTW you first need to go into the "manage extension" and enable "allow in incognito" option, otherwise it won't work.

Dude, are you still stuck in the 90s or what? Go get yourself a damn ad-blocker! :banghead: :D You have a nice X-mas as well.

I don't think this can happen with options, but I've seen it happen with underlying stocks where brokers call back the borrowed shares. My suspicion is that those shares were never actually borrowed. Instead, the broker was taking the other side of your trade. But who can know for sure what the...

Here's a tip for all you who think you're out of luck when it comes to upgrading to Windows 11. When I tried to upgrade my Windows 10 to Windows 11, I got a popup message saying the hardware wasn't compatible to run Win11. So I did what I usually do and googled about it. And, unsurprisingly...

In that case, you're either too self-important to bother with anything other than yoruself or just plain lazy as some of those here who can't even invest 10 minutes of their life watching a YouTube video to educate themselves. Speaking of which, here's a short video explaining Quantum...

Damn, all those smilies are making my head spin. Anyway, if I take 500:1 leverage (gulp!!), that just means for every $1 I have in my account, I'm taking out $500 in debt ($2 = $1000, $5 = $2500, etc). And more leverage you use, more margin you will need to offset any possible losses. What's so...

Huh??

Why overcomplicate things? Just use this as your trading template.

Take a look at this video. In fact, all of his vids are very good. Financial Analyst App - GPT-4, Streamlit, and Llama-Index Tutorial

More leverage means more debt, and more debt you take out the more collateral you will need to provide. While not identical, think of margin as a collateral. So if you want to trade 1 standard lot (eg. 100,000), you need to have at the minimum of $1,000 in your account at all times. If, at any...

When the news hit the wire last night, I was feeling pretty bullish and went long only to get stopped out. Then practically the same headline from the US comes out and JPY rallies. WTF??
