    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I wonder about this. The thing I don't know is the distribution of these early addresses moving coins. If it happened all throughout the other cycles, then its no big deal. But if all of a sudden, there is a larger number of these addresses cashing out, I wonder if this means anything...

    Chinese Botware

    I don't know enough about the interplay between firmware and hardware, but I suspect that if products are truly compromised, even loading new firmware won't solve anything. There could easily be corruption at the hardware level that super-cedes any firmware instructions. Maybe an extra chip...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Holy crap, even the guys at Forbes are getting scammed by writing articles like this. Jesus, Forbes can't see it, Blackrock can't see it, so only @orbit23 is onto the scam that is Tether and Bitcoin. How does orbit outsmart all of these guys...

    Impressive. I would never guess that you aren't a native speaker. What are BPs? The thing with gaps is that sometimes they fill, and sometimes they don't. (Although I'm likely one of the guys who don't use them properly... LOL) Do you consider gaps on the cash index to be more important than...

    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    Volpri, I'm curious it I can ask about if these trades are real or in Sim. I understand that sometimes you want to demonstrate certain things, so you will use the Sim option and take trades this way, but in the post below, you said that the "profit was pretty good" and your platform is clearly...

    This certainly makes sense, and it jives well with what QTrader was saying about waiting for the right volume to come in before a big move can happen. But he of course is keeping his lips sealed about any specifics... LOL Edit.... I should add though that in my opinion, volume doesn't seem to...

    I think that if mathematically the edge was there, it would be no problem for someone with a $1MM account to do this. But clearly, the risk of losing 50% is there.

    LOL... I'm not so sure about the long term viability of this strategy. And especially so now that we have entered a cutting cycle which is almost always doomsday for the markets. If its so easy to make 50%, why isn't everyone doing it?

    I've been away for a little while, so sorry for bringing up this older post given that the thread has moved on for dozens of pages. But I was curious to ask, given this recent update, and thank-you for the honest update, what is your thinking about trading a strategy or style for long term...

    Thank-you for thinking of me. :D What I'm seeing, based on when you do post, is that its incredibly difficult to get a 50 point winner, never mind another 100 point winner. And this of course isn't a surprise because this is just how it is. And then by the time the winner comes, a trader is...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Sigh.. this is exactly what I wrote in my earlier post. If we just could deal with one piece of fake news at a time and show all the doubters where they are wrong, we could help save more people. You're right about gold... but you're wrong about Bitcoin on both points. Satoshi put it all...

    Tesla 2024

    In my opinion, the FSD rollout will be extremely limited. From the gossip I've seen, they are working hard to map out specific areas in LA in great detail, likely hoping to do a Waymo version where there won't be a driver, so fully autonomous, but in a very limited area. I imagine they will be...

    I wonder how these firms work internally. For years we have had discussions here about them, and I think it was suggested that some were internalizing trades since they knew most traders would blow up. I take it that the initial qualifying period is Sim, and then after you pass, your orders do...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Yes... exactly this! Its funny because when you really lay out the idea of money, the properties that money needs to have, and what we have tried before and why it failed, the reasons behind Bitcoin really do make sense. And then when you pile on top of this the drawbacks to fiat money, then...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I think most fund managers were suggesting 1-5% allocations. So if people followed this advice, they were using the ETFs as an asymmetrical bet. If Bitcoin does a 10x, which might require other markets to fall apart, or who knows, everything goes to the moon, but even it nothing else...

    MSTR as a defined-risk trade for asymmetric risk-reward

    I hope you're right!! I'm holding a smallish BITX position, the 2x ETF, and what really sucks is the constant up and down. Most of my ETF allocations to Bitcoin are just the non-leveraged plays, so those will recover just fine, but this leveraged one is getting hammered on the down days and...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I think at this stage, we need the governments and officials to make the next move. I said this a while back, but my fear is that instead of the printer getting turned on, they just might try a bout of deflation first. Maybe they do let the markets and economy crash for a while. This will...

    Not at all. I wish I had more to contribute but I'm in no way profitable. All I can do is offer my analysis of what I see posted. I don't even want to suggest that LF is in anyway trying to scam us with cherry picking. His analysis is excellent, and I'm sure he is highly profitable at this...

    I can see based on the replies so far from several people that I'm alone in my assessment which is fine and I rest my case. Good luck to everyone.

    You're welcome! :D I agree that you posted a lot in the past, and you do post stats, but in the past few weeks, its very few live trades, and charts are only shown when you're nicely into profit, and only after the fact do you mention maybe some losses along the way. Many of your posts are...
