I hope I do not come out as being rude, but for such straight forward, I dare to say questions about theory or terminology, I find investopedia.com to be extremely useful. : ) For upgrading on one's knowledge and diving deeper, for more practical questions, forums are well suited.

Do some geographic and political research. There is some edge in EU satellite countries(my terminology) - both EU members at the low specter(Romania, Bulgaria, etc.) and non-members that are in a similar political and economical situation. The yields there are higher and the risk might be, let's...

That's very interesting, I wasn't sure, but expected all the posts here to be about relatively known to the wider audience traders. Trading electricity futures is an underground topic for the financial markets traders, but it starts getting recognition - I saw that there are even Bachelor's and...

Through the years I developed a personal mantra about my attitude towards the markets - "The market is an ocean of money and today I'm here to take my share." Later I had to incorporate a part about reaping losses, because not every day is a day where you take your share out of the market and I...

And maybe it is most important that it's just how things work. I imagine it this way - the past decade or so, if you wanted to operate on a smaller scale, with a smaller leverage, both in your life and in your business - you were destined to fail, barely survive and/or be left out of your...

Just read everything you can on the subject and watch charts on all time frames every day. At some point something will resonate with you, you will become worthy of having an intuition. Build yourself a book of rules so you can first have rules that can then be broken. I also recommend The Strat...

It's not a secret, it's just very hard to calculate what percentage of the price increases is due to inflation and what due to corporate greed. My personal opinion is that it doesn't even come down to these two, because they are intertwined. What is inflation after all, it is not just a number...

And that is expected as that is how the world works - those people are not to be blamed, they are a product of their time. Good times create weak people, weak people create hard times, hard times create strong people and strong people create good times. : )

I'm impressed by your attitude. Wish you the best of luck, health and success with your approach. As to me, I've found that whatever fundamental or technical edge I've exploited throughout the years, it always came down to psychological edge supplementing it, mainly through the power of sitting out.

You guys in the USA are cold-hearted......... How does this even come to be needed as a product, a concept to be discussed among work groups and developed, labeled as such, with that name and purpose... You have some hard social reality.

It is definitely the case.. but maybe that's how inflation works in real life, and not just through data lenses. When repeated constantly, people start to act accordingly and try and anticipate the effects - raise prices for your services, because other's will raise theirs and you are a consumer...

https://www.buyupside.com/calculators/stockcorrelationinput.php I just used google search, but this seems to be doing the work you need.

That's very resourceful and the conclusion about the "market makers" is true as far as I have observed how markets react to news releases. The question is does an individual trader possess the resources to conduct such an analysis and use such an approach. Isn't that niche taken over by the...

As in any high performance activity, there are only so many individuals out of 100 that are willing to do what it takes to be successful. And as in any high performance activity... even doing what it takes does not guarantee you immediate success or even eventual success in that matter. The key...

As long as a person can be exculpated and potentially deserves a second chance.... Why would JPM risk this becoming a PR nightmare. Either someone overlook it or they think they have something to gain from having this person around.

Sounds like you have a mindfulness problem, not a trading problem... As trivial as it sounds, you need to focus on meditation, attention span, personal issues related to limiting beliefs and financial self worth. I can recommend some authors that might help - Trading Composure on twitter(or...

Maybe... try and distance yourself and the concept of "stop loss" from all the "bros" out there. Judge this concept on its own merits. Clearly a stop loss for every single trade is beneficial for your overall trading results. Clearly at this time in your trading journey you are confused and do...

Maybe he tries to keep it simple. With options you have to be right not only for the price at which you get in and the direction of the trade… you might be right for both of those, but get it wrong about the expiration date, the liquidity of options is a problem as well… he might not have access...

No problem. Really, it’s nothing more than what you would find just googling around for this stuff. Wish you all the best.

Yes, true, but there’s a little more than that to it as well. You described the basics of adding and taking liquidity and on that level, when you know the parameters of your trading operations, you can adjust your trading costs(it depends on what edge you are exploiting, but generally it makes...
