    LL's Daily Discipline Journal

    Larry, sorry to tell you that but you will make zero money if you focus on a day to day routine. You are talking about strength for UNXL for example. Take the bigger picture. This stock was already up +700% in less than 3 months. Of course there is strength, especially with a stock with a daily...

    LL's Daily Discipline Journal

    Man, you are buying a stock that faced a MEGA bear market (-97%) and rebounded strongly (+76%). So your entry point must be chirurgical. Be a sniper. Why do you want to buy a "wannabe" breakout rather than waiting a REAL support ? Buying should be closed to 2.45 / 2.5 dollars, which was the...

    The TREND is your friend.. The biggest lie ever!

    Average down is for losers. Being right too early is being wrong. Listen to pros' advices rather than give your opinion. You will learn, and maybe you will improve with hard work and discipline. CM

    S&P500 Head and Shoulders

    You are talking about a fake H&S. As every fake pattern, it is usually a continuation pattern if pattern was a reversal and a reversal if pattern was a continuation one. So yes, it is a good tactic to take the opposite side. CM

    Small Patterns versus Big Patterns

    You ask good questions. This is the way of improvement ! Like how does one smaller pattern compliment another big pattern, vice versa or even supersede another? => Bigger pattern gives you main direction / trend. (usually, a big pattern is more than 50 bars for me, it depends...). So 3...

    Fishy Poker

    Don't you think heavy shorters have already lost their shirts? Don't you think they are neutral again, or even long? Noone can hold forever shorts positions. Easier to keep long positions, regarding hierarchy, risk control, risk budget, consensus, the herd etc. Remember 2000 : everyone said...
