I do not trade the exotics. But the question did come to my mind many times, maybe someone who trades exotics can give some insight: are the movements in the exotics more closely related to the general movement of the "major" currency? And could we therefore attribute the movements of the...

Another thing that comes to my mind, is that stocks are expected to grow in the long term. Also as an asset class they are extremely granular - tons of industries, companies, etc. I would say we can get more emotionally attached to a stock in comparison to a fx pair. Talking about long term...

Depends on your trading plan, no? If your predefined rules define the entry strategy, there should be no fomo

Which instruments do you trade? Google various programs and check their reviews. I would not rely just on this forum...

Reminds me of the Herbalife fight (Icahn vs Ackmann). Pretty sure both of them had the gut feeling about the trade yet one of them lost a lot of money...

One of the reasons is because it allows you to have a smaller SL and therefore you can enter higher position at the same risk (1% for example).

Boring, predictable, low adrenaline but consistent :D :D

I am not sure if I agree with the book. You should enter trades when your conditions are fulfilled. Therefore, you should not risk more ("larger bet") if you feel the trade is extraordinary. Risk should stay the same. If the reward is higher (RR ratio), even better. But I would not increase the...

Well not neccessary. If he is talking about notorious investment banking, the job can be very exhausting. The very much desired exit for investment bankers are hedge funds and private equity...

Also, by posting your trades the mentor can point to the mistakes you made... So if you are interested in indices, find a community which is focused...

I would strongly prefer the second option :D :D

Of course, if you find an inefficiency in the market, you will exploit it. And therefore make the markets more "efficient" :D :D :D That is the common argument why short-sellers are actually useful - they "help" the markets to reach the fair value of a specific stock.

nope, hence Tradess instead of Trader (not that it is a word i would ever use in real life) :D Regarding to the initial post - happens to everyone I believe. With experiences, maybe you are able to recognize it earlier than later and step back. And I absolutely agree - Mindset is the most...

Funny how the whole conversation went into the fundamental vs technical analysis :D Firstly, there are various types of hedge funds. They do not all fall in one pocket. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/111313/multiple-strategies-hedge-funds.asp Except for Quantitative hedge fund...

I think real money is everywhere - you just need to find a strategy that suits you. Practice practice practice. And risk management of course.

Got some cool ideas in this topic :D I normally say I do "some freelance projects" what I also do.

Hi Tylerweitz11, I know a company that offers such services, I wrote to you privately!

I assume you work in a fund manager which does not allow you to invest in individual stocks without a proper compliance procedure in place - and you are worried if you can make money with the instruments you named. With "investor" i ment outside investor - the organization that hands your...

Oki, thanks, will take a look at your journal! :)

Maybe start taking some partial profits. Let a small part run. Do not feel bad closing profits too early. Nobody has ever gone bust taking profits :D
