    Do you hate talking heads on CNBC who don't actually trade but always got something to say?

    Do you hate talking heads on CNBC who don't actually trade but always got something to say?

    How do you define a Swing High/Low?

    Thanks for a solid reply. I think that even for a discretionary strat you need to define swing points objectively. Because if you just look back at a chart and say o here he was a swing low and see how nicely it worked with my method but then later you the same kind of a swing low you dismiss as...

    Study says Daytrading for a living is virtually impossible.

    How does going offside work with stops? Does that mean that a trader doesn't execute a mental stop or cancels a stop that's already in the system? Or he never had a stop in the first place?
