Have VPN will "travel"

I'm really enjoying this thread, @johnarb. Thanks for taking the time to post your thoughts, trades, and charts. Very helpful.

You probably already realize this but for any newer traders it's important to remember, unlike most major indexes which are free float market cap weighted, for historical reasons the Dow is price weighted so stocks with a higher price will have a proportionally higher impact on the "average"...

I've tried a few languages to power my trading bots, namely Go, C, Java, and PHP, but finally settled on Python. It's easy to learn and runs on anything. There are lots of nice trading libraries and machine learning stuff for it if you're into that. Download Python here: https://www.python.org/...

I had a mechanical keyboard once that caused intermittent booting problems so maybe try removing every piece of unnecessary hardware all the way down to where nothing is left but the motherboard, CPU, monitor, and a stick of memory and see if you can boot up on just that. If it boots, add your...

UNG is currently holding January contracts while BOIL is holding March contracts.

Holy shit it's actually real. The naïveté of youth knows no bounds. Quoting Steve Carell's character in The Big Short, "They aren't confessing; they're bragging about it."

I like XLU, XLP, and XLV. Utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples hold up best in bear markets. I've been swing trading call options on these three since March to great effect. Hopefully we'll some some capitulation on this breakdown soon and I can pick up some more calls for the next rally.

Maybe Kraken. They give 5x on BTC and ETH. Not sure about the rest. Maybe 3x on those. You can short too.

Uprise was continuously rebalancing on the way down, reinvesting paper profits into the short, maintaining or even increasing the leverage. Akin to rebalancing a leveraged position on the way up to maintain some multiple. Works absolutely fantastic until it doesn't. A sprinkle of risk...

Short term price movement mostly boils down to trader sentiment. When buyers become more motivated to buy at a higher price and sellers become more motivated to sell at a higher price the price moves up and vice versa.

The strategy seems pretty straight forward: invest in emerging technology that has the potential for high return and, essentially, make an index fund out of it. Wood's fund had an incredible run in 2020 due to the Fed stimulus but ARK is like a gambler who won his first lucky bet on a horse...

Echoing the sentiments above I'll happily pyramid (scale) a position to infinity as long as the underlying is trending in my direction but as soon as price pulls back and breaks down under support my mental stop gets triggered and I'm out. What I will never do is add to a losing position, oh no...

Yeah that's gonna be rough. Here's a website https://betagainst.fun/ where you can find the 10 highest and 10 lowest correlations of many stocks. Maybe plug some of the 77 stocks you're trading into that, see what the lowest correlating stocks are then backtest those for trends which hopefully...

Do you have access to commodities ETFs i.e., energy (XLE, KOLD), precious metals (GLD, GLL), treasuries (TLT, TBT), stock indexes (SPY, SH), currencies (FXE), grains (WEAT), meat (COW), crypto (BITO), etc.? If so, there will be a trend happening somewhere so you should always have some kind...

I'm almost tempted to screenshot this and stick it on my wall. Bravo fellow man of culture.

For those who just can’t lose money fast enough, TARK started trading today. Up 5.82% since it’s debut earlier. Not bad. And what a steal with only a 1.15% expense ratio.

They have a good mobile app and this is my office where I do most of my trading these days so I need it :)

I'm a small fry compared to some people around here but that's around 5% of that account and less than 1% overall including futures, other trading accounts, etc. Apropos, the really sad thing is I tried to take advantage of some of the post market post-AMZN earnings dump with TQQQ but was a...

I wanted to “like” your post but thought that might come across weird since you’re reporting a down day. At any rate, it’s nice to see numbers from a vendor and I’m glad to see you’re trading bigger, I remember a while back you were struggling with that. Here’s my day so far. Went big into...
