It depends on who is giving you the average. Most time it includes roll out.

Well I wish you luck in getting your interest back. Who knows you just might as the brokerages like to keep high rollers happy.

That's the thing with a margin account. You agreed to pay interest if they lent you money. If they refuse the withdrawal they are breaking your agreement. You probably told a little white lie when you said you were an experienced investor on your application, along with saying that you had read...

So what did you want them to do, refuse your withdrawal or charge you interest?

Who do you think should pay for the network? Sounds like you don't understand how the system works. I'll bet you didn't even read the user agreement you agreed to when you opened your account. Stop whining!!

Appreciate the reply. What criteria has to be met to determine if wave 2 has already formed? I ask this because it seems that it is hard to know whether a wave has formed until after price has moved. I read somewhere that wave 3 is the wave to trade but until you are sure that wave 2 has formed...

A couple questions if I may. Eliot wave has caught my interest as an additional tool for my tool box. When you say "Long to the resistance area 39156.49." Where exactly are you long and why there? Are you recommending going long at the open of the next bar?

Thanks I don't spend a lot of time on YouTube but I'll stick this on my watch later list. I use a hammer pattern as one of my set-ups, if all other critea are met.

Good question and I don't know the answer. Institutions trading against institutions. Drive the price down until buying pressure takes it back up. Once price is perceived to be a bargain, traders or algos will jump in a snap up as much as they can. Then FOMO kicks in. From what I understand in...

Personally I don't think they even know where my stop is. They are looking for liquidity. If that happens to be where the majority of retail traders have their stops, then whether they are hidden or not that's where price will go.

I'd argue that the main reason is human nature and lack of money management and risk control. Basically we hold on to losers too long and take profits to early. Got nothing to do with any kind of analysis, technical or fundamental. We like profit and are afraid to give it back and we do whatever...

How do you determine your max loss per trade. How does that influence your position size. I mean if your max loss per trade is a fixed dollar amount then where you place your stop will determine your position size. If your max loss per trade is a percentage price drop then position size will...

How do you define an emergency stop? Can you give an example of when you would use it.

Then what triggers an entry? For me I look for a pullback then a bar that closes near its high and enter when price moves higher than the prior bar. My stop trigger would be when price moves below the swing low. Hard stop is below the bar that breaks the swing low. MSFT is a good example. Are...

We are on the same page. Rather than using a stop, hard or mental, I use a what I call a stop trigger. The price has to trade below a certain level to trigger a stop and then a hard stop is entered in the market. Hopefully this prevents being stopped out if stops are hunted and keeps me in...

Fair enough. Are you day trading or swing trading?

What happened Vanzandt, you get bit by a turtle?

From May last year. I have to admit I doubted you last year and was proven wrong. Although you could have sold in May, gone to a money market fund and jumped back in in Oct. (See how easy it is to make calls on the left hand side of the chart. :) ) How do you see the market this year? I'm...
