And shorting a weaker one? how much would you be up?

Couple of random comments. Most people lose money, so common thinking by logic is flawed. Your strategy is dangerous in equities much more efficient in indices, particularly dividend paying indices, ie. spy or dia. Remember that stocks can go to zero, indices will not. Start slow...

When you take all your signals effortlessly.

Trends are usually encapsulated in well defined channels, buy low, short high and don't fade their bias. Try to stick to timeframes above 60 min, otherwise your trends are not your friends :D

Can you please be kind enough to suggest the structure for it ? I understand leaps are long term options with expiration years ahead with potential high premium but that's as far as my knowledge goes. Thank you

Wasted sittng cash doesnt bother you?

Phase 1 Daytrading I failed as a daytrader and the reason for it was not in the following list: money management discipline leverage understanding of charts It was actually noise. Long stopped, short stopped, long stopped, in the end even with price going nowhere. This so called...

I'm not sure what kind of games you guys play here but I don't got the time or the interest. I said to expect the USD to pop and the ES to tank, nothing else. If you dont like it, ignore it. I play by my rules not yours. ESD

Doing so would reveal a trading edge, and that it's not going to happen. Take today's close and hold long until the end of next week, then you decide how profitable the trade was. As far as stop, 2% below today's low should be enough but mostly not needed. ESD

That's not bearish, that's bullish, now you got to find out why. ESD

USD-YEN Pair is approaching a bottoming area, will it be the bottom, I don't know but temporary, I'm pretty sure. Considering this pair runs inversely to the US indexes, watch your back if swing trading long, temporary or not a top is approaching the ES soon. ESD

Whatever you say. ESD
