Is college tuition a bubble? this trend can't keep happening infinitely.

Most schools teach theories not necessarily trades which trading is. So if your looking for a school that might help you try Cornell. It is an IVY so your grades and recommendations have to be highly competitive but if i recall they have a trading floor there.

austinp was spot on as soon as volume came in the trading has become way better.

Hi matcha hope all is well. I know you are sim trading the ES having traded the ES with real money i can attest that it is indeed a challenging product. Im sure you know this and im sure you can be successful trading it. Only thing is it requires more capital i feel to trade it rather than the...

no doji- if your stop is at LOD then it looks good till it doesnt. especially for a counter trade.

Well being in college currently myself i think the main issue is not motivation but the fact they make you take roughly 100/120 credit hours of classes you just dont care about.

I was looking at a YM monthly chart a few moments ago. It took 5 years in a "bull market" to go from dow 7500-14000. Currently we have moved from Dow 6500-12250 in 2 years. I dont know how to trade this so as of this week im sidelined. Maybe its my inexperience or the fact that im young and...

Hey i dont need advice i make my own decisions. I was just trying to help the prior poster out by mentioning to you maverick that making a "trade the tape" statement is not beneficial to someone looking for advice.

First off i am a trader. Second off you were asked what happened. You can say "xyz happened in the price action that signaled a top in my opinion." You were not being productive in your statements. Throwing out one liners obviously makes me not want to value anything you say.

In other words Maverick doesn't know..

yeah today when i tried trading TF i was thinking about the volume issue AustinP and yeah time to move to crude.

Ya Mark if you could post that article i would appreciate it. Secondly yes i think thats the main issue right now is the volitility is practically non existant. Whether we go up or down, heck even side ways i would appreciate an increase in the vix. We are stuck in what seems like a 10-20 pt...

I guess it depends on your definition on volatility. i think its been decreasing. Yeah there has been more trend but actual trading range is not normal. Here is my take on the TF. its pretty much been trend days between 770-795 with a few peaks at 800. But for me personally it seems like TF says...

Matcha i know how you feel not sure if you are live yet but part of trading i feel is staying in the game till you can catch those moves that make your day/week/month etc. Taking small losses will seem insignificant once that one trade comes around.

TF has been acting crazy. Diverging from the YM/ES, huge unexpected reversals, follow the trend get burned, counter trend get burned, rip your face off rallys/sell offs out of no where, dojis galore, support/resistance/trend line who cares we blow through them. so yes d08 the TF has been really...

Well positioned for the move of the day this AM but decided to trade out a few ticks before the huge move. Price action did that a huge move is coming back and forth thing in the DOM and i obviously made the wrong decision. Lesson learned. Just needed to vent. Urggg *edit the first trade may be...

i do but it has been kicking my ass this year!

Matcha i follow your thread and had a question on how you identify the direction the wedge is going to break. i was tempted to get long there but not based on a wedge formation. thanks and keep up the work.

Two things think have to happen. 1 you have to have an account large enough to take a few hits. Once you can have the mentality if i lose a a few grand today, well i can come back tomorrow attitude. 2 try thinking of it as a game. Think of the money as points. 100 dollars equals 1 point of...

I hope vol, picks up cause this week was a real grinDDD to the upside. I trade TF and man oh man was it a real tough boring week. I dont know how much higher we can go but it sure seems like a big move up or down is coming soon.
