Aww!! Don't ruin the dream :)

Follow the chart in real time just as you would if you were actually trading. When you decide to take a trade, instead of executing your trade, you write down the price you might have gotten. Then follow the price action and write down where you executed your exit. That's paper trading. It's...

It's the reason I don't have a digital girlfriend. :) It's the digital part that concerns me. I've had files corrupted. Yeah I know it's impossible, well until it happens and then it will be a black swan event. I may not be able to touch but I can see how they make their money. They report...

Watched a short video. I don't disagree with his take on a debt spiral but he doesn't explain how bitcoin is going to help. It's an asset that may or may not appreciate in value because of runaway inflation. I can buy that but most hard assets will also increase, that's what happens with...

I've been checking out YouTube videos. The more I hear it pumped up the more it reminds me of the pump and dump stock schemes that used to take place on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. Any time someone wants me to buy an asset chances are he has some for sale.

I started there. It needs a glossary. I assume CPU is a processor. I have no idea what a 'Node" is much less an "Honest Node". The fact that there are "Honest Nodes" leads me to believe there are "Dishonest Nodes" I know what "Hash" is and could probably use a hit to understand the rest of the...

It is. I'm trying hard to figure this out. Ever since I was told the fairy tale of the Emperors new cloths I'm a little suspicious of something I cant see. Is that bitcoin or block chain? Why can't the blockchain technology be used to transfer $US from peer to peer? It seems that bitcoin is...

Would you accept bitcoin as a currency today? Knowing that the value could drop in half by the time you want to spend it? You didn't address the Dutch tulip thing. We'll have to carry this conversation on later as I've got a 5 hr drive ahead of me today.

I would like to know exactly what bitcoin is? Why it's worth 67K one month and then 47K a month or two later? How does it differ from Dutch Tulips? How do I value it?

Good try. :) I got what your saying. Here is my concern. I don't like to see my capital disappear, even knowing it will come back. I took early retirement in 2000 and watched my nest-egg get cut in half. Not a sleep at night situation. So I figured there had to be a better way. I came up...

What's the downside of taking a loss and seeing where crypto settles out. What was the downside when your stocks crosses the 50ma?

Well maybe an app that punishes traders for not following their plan. Something wired to their private parts that causes pain and increases in severity until they get bask on track. Or a machine plugged into their trading platform. You have input your plan and a 20 dollar bill before you enter...

What!! Give away my million dollar ideas?? :D:D Actually I couldn't think of any. I'm pretty lazy and I couldn't come up with anything thing that would make my life easier than it is right now.

Reading and asking questions. Question every thing. When you come up with an idea spend the time to try and prove it doesn't work. If you can't do that, then maybe it will work. As for a mentor, find a person you know to be successful and ask them. If they want to be paid then find someone...

Exactly. They lie to themselves. They want to believe it's as simple as paying someone for the secret. Surely they see the don't be scammed info, if they do any research at all, but choose to ignore it. I've seem arguments here on ET that you have to pay for your education and that the more you...

The main reason it's so easy is that the customers lie to themselves.

Anything that makes life easier for lazy people.

Still way over my head. I'm not a hedger nor do I deal in options. I'm either in equities or cash. The stats I keep are percentage of wins vs loses, Average win and loss and % return on my capital. I have no idea about alpha, beta or delta. I consider my stops voluntary. They are not hard stops...
