    What makes you angry when you trade?

    Stupid mistakes because mistakes cost you monies. Of course, I am only angry at myself for making such mistakes. They say we have to trade like robots without emotions and probably, that is the case but, no easy shakes. We are only human after all. But, we have to do our utmost to remove emotion...

    Trump Plays Dangerous Game Of Chicken With Trade Tariffs

    The most ignorant and hateful are the extreme liberals in power! There is Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama who said, you did not build that! You lost, get over it! Hillary Clinton who called Trump voters as a basket of deplorables? Blacks were super predators! Nobody called her out on that racist...

    My trades

    That is true but, the Turtles method is also, based on the new highs, so with Nicolas Darvas. Relative strength is what it is. What happens at times is that it pullbacks for a couple of days then, resumes the uptrend afterwards. That is the tradeoff. On the plus side, a strongly trending stock...

    Looking at the ADBE stockchart. It looks pretty strong and could go higher from here. DOCU looks strong establishing new highs. THO might pullback before it heads higher. So far, looks good. Keep the good trades coming. I analyze your trades and try and learn from it.

    My trades

    I totally agree with your buy high and sell higher mantra. Buy low sell high might workout when a stock is in Phase 1 of its cycle, accumulation, moving now to Phase 2 which is the mark up. Phase 3 being distribution and Phase 4 the mark down. That is for longer term investors and position...

    So, what is the end game with this never-ending U.S. public debt?

    President Trump is trying to fix the problem created by past US Presidents kicking the can down the road! Congress did not care either because all they wanted was to remain in power! How many politicians in Congress have been there 30-40 years now? Too many corrupt individuals only out to enrich...

    Trump Plays Dangerous Game Of Chicken With Trade Tariffs

    Trump did not bankrupt his casinos. Casinos were failing because there was too many of them in New Jersey and the market was saturated and a number of casinos went under! Not every business venture you get in will succeed! How many casinos in New Jersey failed after Donald Trump already sold his...

    Edge edge edge , what is it ?

    The Turtles were mainly trading 55 day breakouts. I think the initial stop they used was 2 ATR. That was from millionaire's post. I erronenously thought it was the 20 day breakout which was created by someone else.

    I have an appeal i am stuck in too much losses

    Tried trading forex in a demo account and the bid and ask spreads are quite wide in pips. Enough to make it a challenge trading any currency pairs. I suspect the currency brokers are just churning the accounts of majority of currency traders and making big monies at it! No difference when the...

    Edge edge edge , what is it ?

    Just curious. Have you tested the Turtles trading system of buying new highs or is that 20 day highs? Or Trend following for that matter? I would think both systems work but, no way to test it myself.

    My trades

    I think those FIVE Jun 8 $105.00 calls and TSLA Jun 8 $330.00 calls are too close to expiration. The biggest time decay occurs in the last 2 weeks of any options. In the NVDA Jun 15 2018 $250.00 call trade I placed, I got into the trade 05/24/18 at $6.96. 06/05/18 was worth $16.00. That was 10...

    Statistics: why the stock market is the easiest market to trade

    Different people trade or invest for different reasons. Being retired, I use any gains to help pay bills. I am happy with that. Short term trading has its advantages too. For one thing, you can get huge returns in a short period of time! Of course, you would pay more taxes but, if you are making...

    How big account size should you start with and how to build it up?

    I am going to disagree with you because there are probably, multiple ways to make monies in the stockmarket. Position trading makes sense for investors like yourself. That said, day traders have made lots of monies in the stockmarket and compounded their returns in a short period of time...

    How big account size should you start with and how to build it up?

    And what would that objective be? Gamble and hope you become a millionaire overnight in the stockmarket? Whether you have $2,000 or $2,000,000, the fact is you are trying to preserve your capital. If you gamble and lose that $2,000 or $2,000,000 you are done! You have blown your account! Doesn't...

    Trudeau: U.S. Debt is Not Sustainable

    President Trump's tax return which was leaked by Rachel Maddow and shown on cable TV showed he paid $28 million in taxes. Now, he was worth around $10 billion. Contrast that with blowhard Warren Buffett who was worth $72 billion and paid only a measly tax of $1 million on declared income of $11...
