    Tips For Keeping A Trading Journal?

    I have a decent amount of money I could begin trading again but have decided to paper trade for a while to better prepare myself. Obviously I'd like to make money, but I am more interested at being good at the skill itself than the money aspect of it as I'm fascinated by the markets. I initially...

    Young Trader need advice and mentor(if possible)

    You're not going to gain the experience needed to be a mechanic by reading a bunch of books, but by getting in there and getting your hands dirty. You're currently looking to educate yourself to the level of Peter Lynch before you make a trade. Rather, paper trade for a short while (as you...

    ET gone to the dogs

    I mean, it's a trader forum. You'll get all level ranges from noobs to seasoned veterans. I'm sure some of my questions come off very noobish. Would it be better for me to go ask them on Quora or Yahoo! Answers? If it's a noob question simply avoid it and find the threads that suit you. It's...

So my question is, for speculative trading purposes, not investing, are there any real advantages to trading an ETF's option vs the...

    Best Tips To Avoid Being Stopped Out In Futures?

    That's actually a really good idea. Would also help control uncontrollable factors one would face on single securities like buyouts while shorting. I started to try out call/ put options on USO recently, but when the crypto market went south I pulled everything out in anticipation of buying low...

    Best Tips To Avoid Being Stopped Out In Futures?

    I got eaten alive by the HFT's in my initial run. Either I put the stop too close and got stopped out, or I set a cataclysmic stop for worst case scenario, sick and tired of being hit by the HFT's, and thinking that they were just trying to stop me out I ended up not seeing the market had...

    Best Tips To Avoid Being Stopped Out In Futures?

    Here's one aspect I always struggle with. They say that using the longer term time frame of any chart is more reliable for signals than the lesser time frame, but the lesser time frames are what create the signals on the longer time frame. So where's the breakeven point on which one becomes more...

    Best Tips To Avoid Being Stopped Out In Futures?

    Thanks. Worst case scenario I just lose money which can always be remade. Succeeding at something I enjoy doing, that the vast majority barely understand, is worth more to me. Personally, I'd rather be broke at the end of my life with no regrets than vice versa. I've read Technical Analysis of...
