Like I said, stops are an art. Making money in the markets is much about "style". If you're trading with the correct bias (like the long side in a bull market), you shouldn't need 20x small losers to catch one big winner. And like any aspect of trading, you'll learn more when you actually try...

Stops are an art. Suggest entries near support/resistance with stop "just the other side". Another play is to use a small stop.. can be almost arbitrary.... that way you can catch moves which immediately go in your favor, but will lose you little when the play goes against you. (You can...

$36k/yr in property tax?

The entire notion of "earnings reports" is a SCAM! Companies low-ball pre-report estimates... but the stocks don't go down because of it. Then, when companies "beat" low-balled (phony, manipulative) estimates... the stock bounces. That's why stocks which "miss by a penny" often dip/tank. It's...

Calculated and graphed real-time.

I understand his question... but I don't see it as relevant to any trade one might make. I know... there could be a much larger aggregate on the bid size or the ask size, but that isn't necessarily maintained for a few reasons. Information not worth knowing unless you're trading such size that...

Plus a mile long list of other horse shit things!

So... number of contracts bid/offered more than 10 prices away from current bid/ask is useful somehow? Like you somehow get paid for knowing the liquidity "way down the DOM"? (And watch what you say about pigeons... I'm sure mine could checkmate the CRAP out of your pigeon!)

You're right. I apologize. I could, of course, let every vacuous comment and question go unanswered/challenged... but I believe I'm doing a good thing when I point out the stupidity of some things so that others aren't tempted to waste time on them. Sorry.

A tomahawk is like a small hatchet. I'm surprised the native American community finds offense with the names of our weapons. Should be rejoicing the acknowledgement.

Some will take the vaccine because their job requires it. Might end up regretting, too. (Wife's employer requires flu shot, but I'm not taking one... EVER!)

Back then, vaccines were about "public health". Now, too much danger of "intentional public harm" for political objectives.

Of all the things a trader might consider, this is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the priority list of importance.

A typical market top will likely come 1 of 3 ways. 1. A "Technical top"... like the currently in-play possible 2x one in the SP. 2. A "recognition that something actually DOES matter while initially deflected"... like the late 2018 top where the Fed had been raising rates slowly for like...

1. Market is chewing around a possible "2x top" in the S&P. If market doesn't stop here because of technical resistance, then it will chew higher into the future. 2. No way to predict the big reversal to the downside other than something like the current possible 2x top. (There will...

Like "racist" is commonly used today.

There is a bit of that, actually. The goal of Price TA is to identify "correlations". That is, "After the market does ______, it then is likely to do _____... for a bit". That isn't as much to know as we'd like, but it's all we get. As to "follow-through"... don't get to know that. Have to...

I look at the market in the most simple way I can imagine... Chapter 1 in any book on TA. KISS baby, as always.

Shouldn't worry about "over trading"... if you trade well, there is no such thing. (In fact... if you trade well, the more you trade the better!) But if you trade poorly, the less you trade the better (lose your money slower)... know what I mean? In general, you should be trading "around...
