    Trading during high volatility

    Many professional systems from a few generations ago used volatility filters to screen entries. A descending ADX line, contracting bollinger bandz, and the vix can show it with a substantial lag. Option traders seem to like shorting volatility while neutralizing directional exposure...

    Beautiful Charts: buy baby buy!

    I used to drive a dented Subaru with ghetto stickers and the mirror held on by a hoze clamp when I worked in LA. No one challenged it!

    Beautiful Charts: buy baby buy!

    Prediction is alchemy, but the charts can show turning points that become pivots and momo traderz can hop on with risk management when it looks like it's safe. Careful bro, no telling how bad it's gonna get:

    In reality, situation could NEVER be worse

    Everyone knows the stock market leads the economy, except in a hyperinflation when the currency itself is being destroyed. But I believe conditions were actually worse in the late teens (1910-1920), according to Jesse Livermore. Absoutely nothing was moving and the exchanges weren't even open...

    Dogs are the best! But they highlight our hypocrisy.

    The flip side is cows. But I can see their point - bovine behavior is far more civilized than coyotes and other wild canines. The American attachment to dogs might be related to how much attention their ancestry has been given, with kennel clubz and registries tracking the family tree as far...

    Risk Management is the answer

    I'm glad your hedging techniques are giving you a smooth ride through the latest trend change (dca in the indices does look like a 45 degree line if you just look at closed trades). Here's a recent risk management exercise I had to do:

    is there a way to see where people are hodling?

    4. Vultures who wait until MAXUMUM PAIN, and then quietly start buying the wreckage after nothing is moving any more. Has the recent reaction to rates being recalibrated done enough damage to make it safe for birdz of prey? You be the judge!

    Textbook one day reversal, and DWAC always seemed to go up when the main markets went down, but I'm not touching it. The new guy's head isn't as big above the eyes. It's a trap!

    ES Making Things Easy on Traders Just Now

    HSR is great until it gets whacked like it's not even there. Same deal with oversold oscillator buy signalz - many good examples of when they worked and a lot more when they were obliterated like a moth being crushed by an abrams tank!

    We’ve been wrong about a key contributor to human happiness

    The difference between a bull and a cow has been the key to understanding why I've always been unhappy in this society ruled by women. It starts in childhood at home, then schools, then HR departments, and finally the CEO of most big co's is now someone from Venus. Bulls are determined, calm...

    We’ve been wrong about a key contributor to human happiness

    The resemblance of cities to cow pens and feed lots is uncanny from the air. In both cases, they barely even know they're trapped! *edit- heard from a martial arts guru: "It's not the treasure that makes life worth living, it's the journey to the treasure". Anyone who found their profitable...

    Risk Management is the answer

    One of the greatest risks is other people who influence your thinking. And the ones who are doing well at this game tend to keep quiet. Over and over again I've had to throw away old books, chart diagrams, articles and hints I found because they quit working after some time and gave me a false...

    We’ve been wrong about a key contributor to human happiness

    I can tell you from experience it's 1000x better living in a battery powered shack with acres of hills of grass, a shop full of stuff to work on and enough time and money to never need to go back to the office. I had the McMansion for a while, nice car, clean neighborhood etc. and it was like...

    What is the best type of trader to be?

    Beyond being profitable, the quality of life aspect matters for me at least. I seem to have much more fun hopping on a long wave and letting the blast of incoming capital sweep my investment into outer space, than fighting the bots and flash boyz for the little ripples, several times a day...

    I'm telling you it's a different face in a gold wig; the actor has been changed. Whoever is behind this is trolling us. MAGA America has no idea. AI physiognomy bots have probably already picked this up.

    feeling like the market is gainst you. whats the psychology behind it?

    The reason this happens is there are too many speculators in the pool, trying to out paddle each other in their little boats. It just chops up the water and no one gets anywhere. The solution - get out of the shallow water and into some real currents!

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I wish you were correct. It was an impulse trade based on some old indicators I used to look at. I miss the dayz when a simple ema crossover would pay the property taxes. :( Sure was nice when that trend was intact. Like free money! But there comes a point when your bait keeps falling off...
