    Is experience at a prop firm required to be a successful retail trader?

    The problem with most of the answers for me is that they are talking about the latter stages of trader development IMHO. I think one needs to think in stages. If your first stage is to be able to position yourself somewhere you can observe real traders making real money, I think it would be...

    How to trade volatility?

    So what percent of your trading capital is allocated to this strategy? Or is this just a way for you to buy the dips in your long(er) term portfolio? Trying to understand if this strategy is just a small part of a larger method. Thanks for sharing.

    Just to be prepared, what would happen if he bought TLRY with all that BP and doubled the money. Would he get to keep it? What if he lost 50% of that. Would he wipe out his real account?

    Oliver Velez is Scam? (trading the open market with 2m candles)

    I truly believe HE can do all that, and 1% of his students can do all that and the rest pay for the opportunity to do all that. Oh damn, did I just describe the way markets operate!? You either BELIEVE the whole thing is a scam or you BELIEVE the whole thing is an opportunity. Either way...

    Please, anyone, give a positive review of any educator of your choice. Please, anyone, let me know where I can get funded without a track record and no/minimal initial deposit. Or at least where I can build a track record with real money other than my own. Waiting patiently .....

    Simple automated strategy

    Well the reason I brought it up is because people think automation frees you, but I find that it actually creates multitude of new problems and uncertainties. I don't think I could trust any system without constantly looking over it. I would definitely not let it automatically put any position...

    How do you trade using multiple time-frames?

    Well that's easy ... Books, articles, YouTube, platform defaults, ohlc data providers, etc. Yeah that's not as easy. But the good thing is you should know within a few seconds. You either up 1R or get out. Damn, now you made me start coding this in my head on Saturday! :)

    EMA & SMA Timeframes

    My vote is for 10,50,200 SMAs. Just because they seem to get mentioned a lot in literature/media and become self-fullfilling prophecy - like the Golden Cross. They are also easier/faster to calculate in auto trading. So I kinda look at them as consensus indicators.
