Yeah, it was definitely choppy mchop but not impossible for all traders. You assume everyone is trading the same style/approach as you or that there is only one type of market traders can profit which is simply not true.

Did you get the wrong day? I was backtesting that particular day just now since I didn't get a chance to trade this week. It made a nice breakout in the 1st 30 min. Edit: I assume you meant today gonna check that out now.

I disagree. That depends on what type of trader you are.

That's a good question but I am afraid there aren't any indicators that will tell you a choppy market beforehand. Only what you can already identify by just looking at the chart. You don't need any indicators to tell you that. Only experience and market intuition may tell you at times.

Ahh... Ok I misinterpreted it. I never delved into that stuff.

What do you mean by shorting options or do you mean buying puts on them? It is usually a bad investment to take puts on options with high IV their just too expensive.

I trade ES/NQ micros how are they thinly instruments or extremely volatile indexes? Are you suggesting anyone trading ES/NQ has poor risk management? Also, why do you assume I have poor risk management just from that comment? I stay away from overnight sessions when price action is...

I don't like the idea tbh. All trading should only be between 9:30am-4pm. Everything else is just noise and manipulation. Algo's running 24/7. I already learned that the market is untradeable outside RTH from future indexes.

It all comes down to sizing your comfortable with losing at any moment. If you don't find yourself immediately revenge trading or doing other stupid chit you are approximately 1/4th the way (perhaps higher) of achieving success as a trader.

The market doesn't care about you. They don't care about your family, your feelings and they particularly don't care about your wallet.

I don't know of many who show their trades live. Most of the youtubers use hindsight charting to connect the dots to lure new traders into believing it's that simple. Or they will show you their trades after being up 10-20 handles. Which leaves one to wonder if they're aren't just showing...

Trendlines are created by algos and can be broken at anytime. His strategy is too simple and has flaws.

You've seen one good Friday. It don't mean every friday is gonna be like that.

Use to be a thing looking for high short interest stocks for the next big squeeze. It's just not a viable strategy anymore. Retail ain't gonna squeeze the instuitions anymore when they keep tabs on the reddit/wsb boards.

How exactly is the winrate calculated? (You should be skeptical.) For example... If price increased even 1 cent then drops a dollar that's prolly a winrate in their books. Winrate is not important btw! The only thing that truly matters is that your winners are much bigger than your losers.

Identify them yourself. There isn't any reliable software that can do it as far as I know.

Well price history has already proven your market theory flawed when everyone and their grandma wanted to own BTC at 50k. Yes, it went a little higher but has mostly sold off ever since. It only went that high because BTC wasn't as widely exchanged therefore was easier for the big banks and...

Never said I was since there is nothing that can be 100% certain. But it's enough for me to call bs with enough conviction.

Nobody would be buying above 50,000 if it ever even reaches there again. It's complete bs!

I've been trading for around 7 years too. Yes, trading is difficult. The market is like a bully, don't fight against it but befriend it or else get your ass kicked each day. You have to leave behind your morals, feelings or beliefs since a bully doesn't care about it neither does the market.
