    Trading is easy

    Big picture the market will crash like I said it would a month ago. But not without dead cat bounces along the way. We may get one Monday, so I went mostly cash Friday, still holding very small size UVXY VXX SQQQ. I'll rebuy those and TVIX aggressively next week on any day the S&P loses...

    Saudis Plan Big Oil Output Hike, Beginning All-Out Price War

    The news is actionable, the main question is how to trade it. I'm thinking long DWT as main play, or bounces in UWT GUSH if contrary news reaction. Any other tickers?

    SQQQ UVXY & other inverses: Bear trading tips

    Re TVIX one concern is how to mitigate if flash crash and if extreme volatility causes it to implode like XIV did... any ideas? Brokers I called had no tips. Other than to not trade it or use trailing stops.. That's one reason I diversify by also trading SQQQ UVXY etc. It just ran from $40...

    How would you lose on purpose ?

    I buy 1000 TVIX at $180/share and my hot asian wife walks into my office wearing nothing. I get distracted and take a big stop loss, lol #worthit

    how far could the market go down?

    Fascinating discussion, you both have valid points.... Facts: + there's no vaccine nor cure, it's very contagious and many thousands of people will die from it in the near term, especially over 60 year olds + supply chain disruption and fear will cause recession and missed earnings for next...

    Daytrading the whole session versus calling it a day after reaching a profit target?

    Great topic... in doing thousands of trades this past year I've found: + the single best way to trade is intraday swing trading Buy open range breakout by 10am and use a trailing stop on half position and hard stop just under premkt low on the rest, closing that between 3:30 and 4. The whole...

    How to improve my risk management for daytrading.

    It's a lot more complicated... nothing to do with % of account, that is too loose. It's all about scaling and dynamic position sizing. With super tight stops and wide range clean/tight strong consistent charts usually in the $15 - $40/share range, with volume at least 15k/minute for...

    SQQQ UVXY & other inverses: Bear trading tips

    I sold most inverses midday, mainly cash into the weekend this time. Charts ran up quickly, I learned the hard way to book profits on the way up vs hoping for more. I will re-enter SQQQ SOXS UVXY TVIX VXX next week on breakouts.

    Oil energy airlines etc still falling knives... for pivots I like to see at least 3 consecutive green days before entering... I like UWT GUSH ERX DAL UAL eventually but not now

    Coronavirus mortality rate now 0.6%, not 3% as first told

    There was a sobering, credible cnbc epidemiologist interview recently saying he expects a 40-60% infection rate and millions dead. I am concerned and am telling everyone I know, especially older folks to try and stay housebound for the next 90+ days. Buy soup chili rice etc. Seriously.

    Is this the most volatile market ever? I think so.

    This is nothing compared to 99 08 etc, so easy. Fwiw I sold most of my TVIX SQQQ UVXY into the close today, up $1400. Because it's been up down every day this week and I wouldn't be surprised to see a gap up day Friday.... then red monday. Big picture this market is going to sell off...
