    Walk it off.

    Cracked me up, but it's true.

    Competition(who is up for this?)

    Yeah, this would be fun if I could use my real account. But I'm not going to give up 6 days of real trading to trade demo.

    Chart issues with TOS?

    Never mind. I forgot I had this sight bookmarked specifically for TDA. https://downdetector.com/status/td-ameritrade/ That explains it.

    Chart issues with TOS?

    I use Sterling for order entry, but I love Think or Swim for charting. I'm seeing a lot of "low volume dots" on my one minute charts. Anyone else have this today? (9/28/21) I can understand DASH, but FDX, SQ and BROS? I've restarted and I have the same issue. Looks like it starts right at...

    Hello, any Independent (Professional / Prop) Equity Traders that trade off analyst research ?

    I had a great day in MRNA 2 Fridays ago just by following the momentum to the downside. If I was a mean reversion trader like I used to be, that would have hurt pretty badly. I like to do longer term mean reversion in my Roth, but just with ETF's. Mean reversion was great for awhile, but then...

    Hello, any Independent (Professional / Prop) Equity Traders that trade off analyst research ?

    I like your comment, but I don't use RSI. By relative strength/weakness, I'm referring to if a stock is having a really good or bad day compared to what the market is doing. The only indicator I use is volume profile. I know a lot of pros use VWAP, but I've never found it to be particularly...

    Hello, any Independent (Professional / Prop) Equity Traders that trade off analyst research ?

    I'll trade a stock which is moving on high relative volume based on relative strength or weakness, and sometimes it's because of an upgrade or downgrade or a new research report from a big firm. But I'll never buy or short a stock based on a research report when it's not moving. NKE provided...

    jnbadger's bad day

    Yes it does suck. A good friend of mine still has nightmares after his HumVee hit an IED and killed his driver many years ago in Iraq.

    jnbadger's bad day

    One more thing to put it in perspective. My dad was a Marine, and I'm a huge fan of war movies. I'm watching youtube clips of Fury. What a fucking nightmare. We don't have anyone shooting at us as traders. We might have friends who lose, but they find other jobs. And they don't die. And...

    Songs you listen to while trading...

    The original would be fantastic. I didn't find Top Gear until 2013 or so. I appreciate it.

    I don't know if that is the original, but I assume it is the same as what is on A Prime.

    Songs you listen to while trading...

    For Christ's sake, it's obviously not the special. The song got my attention, and I like this short tribute. There was a scene with Jeremy listening to this song on his phone in the special, and then it went to full audio. The special is on Amazon Prime and is 1:16:19 long. It's also on...

    Songs you listen to while trading...

    It's an old song, but when I was watching the Top Gear Bolivia special for the 10th time the other day, this song got my attention. I don't really watch or listen to anything between 7:30 and 10:00 central, but before and after those times, I'm all over stuff like this.

    jnbadger's bad day

    Well, Tuesday wasn't as bad, but I had one small loser and called it an early day. I started to feel the same as I did on Monday. Wednesday was good, but not great. No trades yesterday. Had other stuff going on. And between Wednesday and today, I feel like I got my mojo back. They're not...

    Experience. I traded it terribly. It was a strong stock on a weak day.

    He's talking about ASAN in particular. I agree with him.

    jnbadger's bad day

    I know. I agree. I missed FB when it was holding up while everything else was breaking lows, even though it was right in front of me on my charts. I was watching too much. That was a great long at the end of the day. I need to re-think this extremely short term crap. Honestly, if I just go...

    jnbadger's bad day

    Hi all. I haven't been this frustrated in a long time. I've been doing this shit for a long time (August was my 25th anniversary), and I've done very well. My best strategies have been automated mean reversion (haven't done this in a long time) and systematic momentum trading based on...

    Telemarketers

    I wish I could. We get at least 20 calls per day. The problem is that it is always either an automated recording or there is no one there.
