In one word: pathetic. 10% down from ATH and we need an emergency 50bps cut. Geez. What will they do if we have real 30% crash? Nevertheless, I loving this trading environment. Lots of volatility and ranges.

I LOVE these markets. Nice range for intraday trading. Feb was great month for trading. Today was another nice day. If you are a trader, then you are lovin' it. If you are an investor then it's a different story.

what the heck? I tried to buy 1 NQ and it said I need $28K+ in one of my IRA acct at IB! IB IRA margins are ridiculous! Did they just raised the margins overnight? The RTH margins are probably lower. Now that I know how to trade and make consistent money, I think I should look at a broker with a...

These macro guys would have totally make BANK in this environment! Too bad they spent their capital shorting on the way up. Got frustrated. Received poor returns. Then gave up just went things were finally going their ways for macro trading. Such is life.

Hi ETers, Have you guys noticed this? I have charts that INCLUDE Pre-market data vs a chart that just starts 9:30amEST/6:30amPST. The chart patterns for the first 30min to 1hr are DIFFERENT! I have noticed that a few times. If I had used a NON-PM chart I would have enter at a safer spot...

There are scams and furus out there. And there are legit ones. I think he's one of the legits one. Anyhow, I can now easily make low thousands almost every single day on my relatively small account. It seems IMPOSSIBLE to me even a few years ago. But once you "cross that bridge" in terms of...

No, he's legit. I'm in his chatroom for a few months. I've seen him trade. But his subs don't achieve the same results because his style is unique and takes guts to execute. I've developed my own style and profitable now. But i still subscribe for the community. Sometimes a few stocks he mention...

Thanks on the congrats! The margins on IB for IRA account is SUPER HIGH. fckin' ridiculous. I know. but I actually like the minis. I can enter and average in on entries and average out on the exits. But after a certain point, the commish is too much if I trade 30 MNQs. It's more efficient to...

NQ down close to -2%. Should be exciting tomorrow.

Thoughts on this article projections? This an annualized return for the S&P 500 over the next decade. Doesn't mean it will return 2.6% every year. It could be down -20% then up 30% then down -15% etc and average out to an annualized percentage of 2.6%. Or do you guys think the non-stop money...

It was a copy and paste error dudes! I speak English perfectly and grew up here gents! ROFL

Wow. A 5% correction?! Geez. WTF?! Pathetic. Real markets should gyrate 10%-15% all the time like it did in the past. That was normal market behavior. It wasn't until this Fed free money injection happened over the last 10 years that a 5% dip is of concern. I can't wait for a real bear market...

I get what you are saying. I've been in many similar situations while not the same magnitude of gains. I was long or short something. It went against me to horrendous level and I just held and held and held. Eventually it came back my way and I made some profits. With hindsight, I think it...

This is not what I would have called good trading. He should have cut losses. Waited. Waited. Waited. Until it looks like it bottomed and started going up then go big in. That usually works out better than the hail mary let's see what happens. once in a blue moon, it comes back. It could have...
