In case you didn't know, Type 1 is an autoimmune condition, it's not like Type 2 where a poor diet increases your likelihood of developing it, but with Type 1, my pancreas just doesn't produce any insulin on its own anymore, so I have to inject synthetic insulin daily. Basically it occurs...

Definitely good advice there no doubt. What sucks though is that (not to get too personal) but I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes (the autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes), and while exercise is no doubt a good thing for my diabetes overall, it can bring blood sugar higher or lower...

I know this site is probably not the best place to discuss this, but whatever. I have the motivation and discipline to learn and practice trading, but man... lately I'm just so out of energy. It doesn't help that I don't sleep well, but even when I sleep ok...I'm just exhausted. Anything...

I'm a capitalist through and through, but honestly I think some regulation is warranted here. Yes, you can theoretically be a trader educator who has successful and profitable students, yet not know how to trade profitably yourself,... we have people like this in multiple fields. Nothing...

So much bs in this space its crazy. What the hell is wrong with people? This kind of scam bs, lying nonsense has been around forever, but it's like we upped the ante with this stuff to a whole nother level in just the last decade alone. I could never lie to people like this with a straight...

Preciate y'all for the tips and advice.

Wyckoff and Livermore. Two legends of the game. Looking at the market from their lens and using tools suited to one personally to implement their methodology is a great way of looking at it. Scalping is yet another style that I like as well. Big directional moves are rare, especially on a...

Honestly, this is the big void that backtesting fills, you can get an idea (by no means a perfect or even great one), of the edges from the different styles and see which ones you think you can implement better.

I want to hone in on one trading style to study and practice with, but there are so many out there and each have their own coolness and edge to them that speak to me. I like CANSLIM and swing/position trading a lot, but then I see futures day trading using candlesticks and different TA...

I find statistical option premium selling as a pretty good edge in the markets that one could implement, provided they manage losers well. The trades are high probability, though the risk/reward isn't that great. Best to take profits once your reach 50 percent of your max profit (50 percent of...

I am more inclined to swing/position trade. I like exploring different asset classes, so futures are brand new to me, but I know more about stocks. I am currently studying CANSLIM and "How To Make Money In Stocks" by O'Neil. Also picked up Minervini's books recently, but haven't read them yet...

I came across a futures trading primer from DanielsTrading.com, (StoneX's futures trading division) which dived into trading futures with this strategy. This is a basic TA kind of strat that everyone who gets into trading finds out about, but it seems too good to be true. Just buy here and...

Idk if the op was getting at it from this angle, but it is an interesting to think about why these patterns keep occurring in the market. Some think it's a self-fulfilling prophecy others think its fear and greed of people during market extremes. I honestly don't know, but it's probably a mesh...

Yeah, spread trading adds to market noise making order flow harder. I wonder how it would work in commodity futures, the same noise can be added to these types of markets, but futures are different, don't have earnings and company fundamentals to worry about. And isn't order flow just harder...

Any of you traders out there successful trading mostly on order flow? I always thought it would be less viable today because of the speed of the market and execution, but wondering from others experiences. Is it still viable even today, and if so what are you looking for in order flow to...

Credit spreads are interesting, but imo the risk doesn't seem like it pays off for the reward even if you set strikes far OTM and the probability of your sold options remaining OTM is high. All it takes is one bad trade to wipe all your gains. Just imagine doing this trading more contracts...

Preciate the suggestions everyone :thumbsup:

Do the free versions of any of these platforms include live real-time data?

ToS is a good platform, but the charting is kind of subpar and clunky imo. Any other suggestions?

If this is the case, then yeah makes sense why he's been outcasted. And his site does give off scam vibes. Didn't Bill O'Neil fail at managing other people's money too? I mean he ran a fund that wasn't profitable. Managing other people's money is hard, especially when you're using...
