It depends on who you're behind that Wendy's dumpster with, and whether she's cute and charging or not. Forex is, after all, a 24/7 gig, which includes "after hours..."

I don't need more than a few minutes to understand a person's character and level of integrity, it doesn't require me to "know all about you." Saying you've been "trading since 1996," means little, you didn't say you have been "making a nice living at it since 1996." It's a tell. You don't...

It's obvious you're green, I have no interest in name-calling, it's childish, a sign of insecurity, a weakness in trading, so there's nothing you can teach anyone here. Shaming is the only weapon of someone who knows they don't have the facts on their side. Everyone has an opinion, the market...

Yeah, I thought so. Negativity is not a trait of a winner. Happy trades!

Crashes are useful, a natural correction when prices no longer line up with reality. In a crash, shares are also much cheaper, with much larger gains possible. Why wouldn't a trader want that opportunity? I grew my entire account 27% in the crash of March 2020. If you're not overexposed and you...

That sounds like denial, something an addict just might do...

It's strictly an academic exercise, without a practical upside, since "catching it all" isn't reality-based, which means whatever the net answer is will also not be reality-based. Lacking any utility, there's no buzz, no sizzle. Happy trades!

Anyone who will admit their weaknesses and their willingness to work on improving themselves after doing so is a no-brainer. It takes courage to expose yourself and your flaws, so I'm as sure as day follows night. We need to applaud anyone seeking to improve. Not easy. Kudos to him.

Exactamundo. It's called a long play, it's a quick buy up (pump) buy a money guy or brokerage, to spike the price, draw in traders. Once they have it up, they maintain it until there are enough buyers lining up, at which point they wiggle it up and down for a short time, carefully selling in...

Hi, With relatively few traders in the market, since a huge number were wiped out in Nov-Dec 2021, it's important for big money to keep market confidence up. That's why the Dow is kept high, it's got huge money doing so, despite most of the market selling down. It's a bear market, being painted...

Pick the right ones (under .30 cent range), you get get multiple-100% gains at 1.00, stay low on price, which is insurance against reverse splits. ZOM is one to look at, floor since December is .30-.33, with one spike in the middle to .50

You should never use more than 20% of trading capital on one ticker. In the event it goes bad, you need to let it fall as far as possible to average down from the lowest spot. Averaging down too soon will have devastating consequences. If you have a trading method bringing in steady gains...

Correct, study the craft you are trying to master. Well put.:thumbsup:

Not sure what that means. I have a different screen name for every web blog, all in fun, so not sure how relevent it is. If the only goal here is to voice opinions (every one has one), instead of talking craft, no point in continuing a discussing that leads no where. If people are only stating...

The percentage is probably a lot higher than that, but the need to disagree without convincing counterpoints is also an emotional response, underlining my point. It takes a helluva lot of work, failure, and dicipline to remove emotion from trading, not easy whatsoever, so I'm not making light of...

I respect you opinion. However, stubbornness, the inability to admit your flaws, IS an emotion-based response, since it's not based in logic. If you continue to repeat a failed behavior, thinking that if you do it long enough it will work, the result will be different, it's an emotion-driven...

The whole market is a punch in the face. I wasn't saying nooby_mcnoob was emotion-based, I was explaining to him what the typical trader's fatal flaw is. I can always back up what I say about craft and how to play this game, so if it sounded like I was punching him, I wasn't. Anyone with the...

The only reason traders lose money...emotion. If emotion infects trading decisions, based on an emotional reaction to good or bad trade outcomes, the market has won. 90% can never overcome their self-inflicted emotional interference to their trading.

Trading is not easy, it's hard work, you earn every penny. It's easy to make money, the trick is developing a set of trading skills so you keep your gains. Capital protection is job one. You're scared because you know it's not easy, but don't have enough intel built up on risk/reward management...
