Sorry the 100k number was primarily around the coastal metro cities. But even in cheap towns where a single family home is 100k total, an increase of 30k in just lumber material is a huge percentage increase of the total value.

Building a home is on average 100k more expensive today than it was a few months ago, due to spiking lumber prices. https://www.vox.com/22410713/lumber-prices-shortage I've posted about the hard drive shortage impacting data centers and the capacity crunch of VPS availability. Now lumber is...

5/4/21 1st trade entered immediately after open for a loss -14 ticks. It was a fake breakout. Reverse off VWAP Bounce off VWAP with preopen price dropping suggested a breakout down. 2nd trade sell stop limit placed 1 tick below the low. Allowed the automated stop loss to ride the momentum all...

You might want to wait a little longer, but buy the dip opportunity is incoming

Everything is a probability and profitability is measured over a longer time frame. The key is proper bet sizing so as to not blow up over a series of losing bets. i don't follow these by the letter, but theories like Risk of Ruin are helpful. From that point of view, it is not too different...

I don't know of there's ever a good day to start gambling, but it certainly wasn't Monday afternoon. Both sold at open for 50% loss. I didn't have spare time yesterday to post an update, but I do plan on continuing posting updates everyday, as I have traded this strategy for years personally...

Google Authenticator falls short when it comes to cloud sync options. With Google, if you lose your phone you lose your access. Get a new phone and prepare to manually transfer your accounts, all of them, one at a time. This scenario alone seems to be the biggest reason people switch from Google...

@kellycobb Any FOREX traders curious about the benefits of trading on a VPS can contact me for special ET pricing.

I call them overnight lottery tickets because they are bought a close, and sold at open the next day. For anyone with less than 25k in their fun account, trading overnight is a workaround to the pattern day trader rules. For picks, I filter the stock universe down to the tickers trending on...

@easymon1 Creating the custom indicator was easy for me, but I've been using NinjaTrader for over a decade. They call it "NinjaScript", which is similar to c# and can also use .net libraries for building some really cool things. For absolute programming beginners, as long as you don't have an...

FOMC roadshow?

For those wondering how to set a stop loss to automatically trail 1 tick above/below the previous bar, I did this by creating a custom indicator. The indicator returns the value of the low or high of previous bar +/- 1 tick. Then when you right click on a stop in NinjaTrader, there is an...

5/3/21 +24 ticks, 1 contract ($300) Patience paid off! I usually trade on my Mac the first 30 minutes after open, but today there wasn't any pull back reversal. Switched to monitoring the market on my phone 30 minutes after open. Using 5 minute chart is nice because it takes at least 3 bars...

For a day trader's perspective, it's crucial to not miss the big up and down days. The worst days should be just as easy to day trade a strong down trend. As a trader I would never miss the opening even during a vacation. Organizations have traders filling in for each other, but as an...

Japan has also had zero population growth since the 90s...

Agreed, but I guess what I meant was the Amazon of 2000, 2010, and 2020 and very different companies. Also the reach of these companies is far greater today than it was back then. Yahoo in 2000 is nothing like reach of Google today. Another interesting data point against the bubble popping...
