    The Real Reason Traders Fail

    Traders fail because.. 1. They are not ready to cope with the markets... intellectually*, nor emotionally 2. They lack diligence/discipline *Not saying players are stupid... but rather they "don't know enough" before they put their money at risk

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    I suspect with coming inflation and recession, volume biz at SBUX will drop off enough to significantly hurt earnings... investors might be mindful of that.

    Does meditation help you trade in any extent?

    LOL! You're an unusual case... almost nobody on ET knows that. :) "Soothing your chakras" ain't likely to do squat for the P/L of most traders. Logic, diligence and discipline are the keys for most of us retail screen jockeys.

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    Well... if you're a company that understands it can sell something for $6 that cost $.06 to deliver, of course you want to be in that business. Same for an investor... who wouldn't want to own a piece of a business model like that? That's all great until the consumer wakes up and realizes what...

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    You mean... people have finally figured out that they can make a latte at home fo $.30 instead of "driving to SBUX, waiting in line, paying $6*, then driving to work"? Wow... what a revelation!! * The REAL cost of a cup is time to travel to SBUX, cost of gasoline consumed in the journey, (time...

    More Price TA.. classic resistance sell/short

    Coin Flip has posted (and annoyed me) "3 times out of 3 posts"... he's going on my IGNORE list. I waited a couple of days for him to see this post. :) It's his Constitutional right to annoy me... and mine to tell him to F* OFF!

    Correct. 1st Amendment.

    More Price TA.. classic resistance sell/short

    ES is now down 50 from my "resistance zone" post.... I don't know any more than what you can see on the chart.

    More Price TA.. classic resistance sell/short

    I make it a point to post some of the most obvious ones... so obvious that that they would not be subject to question/interpretation. Of course there is much more to Price TA than just the most obvious setups. All of that can be learned later if one wants to look further into it... but "the...

    Good for you. I currently have 2 rescue dogs plus another.... have mostly had 2-3 dogs during my adult life (one time, even 5... that was a bit much :))

    More Price TA.. classic resistance sell/short

    Update... here we are 2 1/2 hours later... "resistance zone" is still holding... has dropped 35-ish points. Make of that what you will.

    More Price TA.. classic resistance sell/short

    Maxinger... I've found you to be nasty and snarky in an obnoxious way. How did you even get to respond to my post? I thought I've had you on "total block" for a lonnnnng time? For those not on my "total block, ignore" list... I don't post individual trades/results for a few reasons... not the...

    More Price TA.. classic resistance sell/short

    The "sell zone" is clear. How long it lasts, or how far it goes... you don't get to know that up front. Price TA shows the "start"... after that you have to "play it by ear". If you're thinking of giving me any shit about this, don't bother...

    Trump says to HODL as Bitcoin is going to the moon

    Maybe Trump is just trolling for bitcoiner votes..

    SPY and QQQ .. waste of time?

    Not "edge on the market".. .just doing well/better for being smart and diligent... which we all strive to be. If you had a genuine edge (like Pelosi), I'd think you'd be doing waaaay better then "merely 2X the SP".

    SPY and QQQ .. waste of time?

    OK, you got me. Market Makers get to capture the spread... like a guaranteed fee...as incentive for them to provide liquidity. You're like the bookie who makes the vig regardless of whomever wins the bet. :) You're talking an entirely different animal from.... hardly an edge a retail trader...

    SPY and QQQ .. waste of time?

    You stay in YOUR lane. Traders always talking "their edge", or "looking for an edge"... Hogwash! You describe your edge and I'm betting I can explain how it is NOT an edge on the market/trade. IMV Price TA is the smartest, easiest to understand, low risk, high profit potential way to trade the...

    SPY and QQQ .. waste of time?

    No... you can put the odds in your favor by what you know and how you act. That may be an edge over some other trader not as smart as you, but that's not edge on the market. A genuine edge would be like insider info or front-running trades.

    Daily Profit Goal

    I think your entire notion is full of fallacies. Each trade is an independent event unto itself. I say, "catch as catch can".

    Important TA concept of "support"

    If you're asking me... referencing the ES, you need to be more specific... I don't see anything at those levels*... ?? *Maybe minor "topping congestion at 5475"?
