Three scenarios, 1, bitcoin collapses, not very likely after the last few months' PA; 2, shoot to a very high price like a quarter million or something, not very likely in the near future; 3, stay in a trading range, now the bottom of the range is likely to be between 10k-20k; where is the top...

I, among many, am looking forward to your continued posts, I am voicing out this as an encouragement. Best wishes to your day job and hobby.

LOL，to be honest, I considered that, but you are in neither my following list (though I rarely read my newsfeed), nor on my ignore list, for now. I partially followed your arguing with Dest and had no conclusion yet (thought my time is more valuable than sorting out who was right or wrong). If...

Hi, all, I have been thinking about posting this for a while. I have registered on the forum since 2007, when I started contemplating day trading. During the past 13 years, I have been using Elitetrader on and off, kudos to the founder and moderators and all the contributors through the years...

I suggest to buy Brooks video course, it is worth the investment, no matter you are a new trader or seasoned. His way of analysing the market gives you the confidence that no matter what happens during the day session, you can end up making money.
