Next level is an NFT of a screen-grab of the first trade of the ETF of the future of the coin.

All three stocks are at their highs. Is buying at highs something you would have advised your clients?

And by the time you get to #5, your system will have run its course as evidenced by an immediate drawdown...and you get to start all over again.

The concept of trend-setup-entry is a good one. But specific measures will vary with the instrument and the market you want to trade. You won't get those from a book.

You're putting the cart before the horse. You'll first need to qualify for TTS, then file for a home office deduction. Otherwise the IRS will judge you as any other investor, and will flag your deduction. A few hundred dollars per year isn't worth the hassle.

Hardly. My piano never gapped up or down, or took out my stops 5 days in a row.
