    2530 touch before the bell???? That's a hell of an up move in a torrent of selling...not to mention the intraday volume point of control around 2504. Gutsy call...

    ES Journal - 2017/2018

    Does anyone in here use a volume profile to assist in their trades? For example, on ESZ8 30m chart, there is a lot of trading between 2620 and 2680. The volume tapers off dramatically above and below those prices, presumably because both buyers and sellers agreed that prices directly above...

    Essentially that RSI and MACD are difficult to use and make money consistently when day trading. Hard to tell who's blocked and who's not in here.

    Dest I've read a LOT of your posts across many different spectrums, and I've read (with popcorn) a lot of your fights with many different people, and the formula is always the same. 1) Dest calls bullshit 2) Opponent retorts with DEST being bullshit 3) This continues with jabs at each other's...

    I would agree. I think they can be very useful on 30m and higher for swing trades (esp RSI divergence), but anything less than that, in my experience, they are just too unreliable to make split second decisions with. Price action and tape reading are the only things that I see working even...

    Selling Premium - Strategy Never Discussed

    Hi Robert Thanks for starting this thread, I also sell iron butterflies and strangles monthly for a consistent return, and so far it's been working well (so far being the key word). I do appreciate where you're coming from with regards to minimizing your risk. The consistent theme on this...

    Hey Des - You've probably answered this enough times to be a broken record, but for the new guy, in your opinion, what are the top things about volatility you'd recommend committing to learning that would allow a guy to advance his thinking in the fundamentals of being profitable in options...

    Does anyone know how to consistently win doing daytrading with stocks?

    Find a plan that works for you, stick with it, don't get greedy. When the plan doesn't work anymore, find a new plan, and repeat ad nauseum. Most traders, myself included, get lost in the details. Manageable bets around carefully planned trades with predetermined stop losses and profit...

    Hey Des (and others) At the risk (certainty) of sounding amateurish, any reason you guys aren't paying more attention to TSLA? I always see a ton of volatility in the stock, seems like there might be some opportunities to capture some delta/gamma/vega? Down 5% this morning, any thoughts on a...

    Malicious trolling and stalking

    For the love of God please don't. There is so much nonsense on this board. If the razors leave, the fat will consume the whole thing.

    From a rookie/anon/lurker perspective, it seemed obvious he was going to crap out within the first 10 posts of the now closed competition thread. He went ad-hominem very quickly....

    Hi Destriero This is my first post here, and I wanted to say that I signed up to be able to a) thank you for calling BS as you see it and b) taking the time to answer questions and show your trades. Reading your posts for some time now has shown me how complex options really are (duh), and...
