    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

    I bot the dip yesterday and woke up to a painful surprise.....

    Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT)

    I got scared and canceled my buy order before the carnage. Now printing 30.62. Is it just me or is the latest Trump actor looking different than the old one from a few years ago? Hair is more messed up, eyes don't have that distintive slant upward, mouth not caught open in a round shape...

    trading 5-15 dollar range vs penny stocks

    Have you funded your account yet? I would be amazed if this is true with real orders. $100 will literally blast you thru the bid ask spread and unless a huge spike comes, you're toast. Only thing predictable about penny stox is the eternal downtrend and the market makerz who know you're in...

    how did your rules change as you progressed?

    A lot of good systems based on indicators (macd, stochastics) are suicide plays these days, but used to work fine until some Guru made a video about them. :D *edit- now it seems to work a lot better to get rid of all indicators and just look at price, volume, and everyones feelingz

    Post some TRADING PRINCIPLES that might help others (Not TA or systems)

    I'm not a book browsing robot looking for goodies to put in my language model, if that's what you're suggesting. :D The principle of a wandering range vs. a running trend should be one of the first lezzons in Elite Trading 101 for fuzzies

    Post some TRADING PRINCIPLES that might help others (Not TA or systems)

    Here's a principle I wish I knew in the beginning: There are times when the market is basically raining money on you, and all you need to do is get a container and collect it. Buy anything that's going up. And other times, everything feels like your tail is caught in a screen door, all trades...

    ...And They Have a Plan. (Live.)

    I like Overnight and all his videos. He makes me feel better when I put on a trade and it slaps me in the face.

    We are living in a big anomaly right now, rrriiight?

    If the essay "Fates of Empires" is a guide, in 20 years we may be just about to the point where the barbarians have taken over. Rumor has it, people paid the goths for protection instead of taxes to rome, when that system came to an end. It was probably a better deal. *edit- here in...

    Candle Sticks Don't Work ?

    I totally agree with the volume analysis points 3 & 4. Some patterns seen over the years: Huge volume at the end of a trend with no progress in price usually means distribution - profits getting booked and the trend may be over. A big hump in the volume profile chart (on the right of the...

    Please, he's called Telfon Don for a reason. None of that stuff matters in MAGA country!

    What is the Smartest thing you ever did Trading

    Looking at stocks that go up, instead of books and guru videos. Also looking at longer timeframes.

    UAN on the launchpad

    Confession time, I added 100 at 77 and 76. Now crossing the break even point when I wimp out and take penniez in profit. Monobrowtrading, get in this thread and berate me a little. I'd be driving maxinger's lambo by now if I could just hold!

    Are trends just self fulfilling propecy?

    It is a very crowded and competitive space. Machines already know your behavior and probably how to bait you!

    Are trends just self fulfilling propecy?

    I'm not sure if there are any pension, hedge, mutual, or sovereign wealth fund managers in here but if so, please excuse this comment. Small traders like us can give the trend a little bump at the beginning, and also a big blast at its end as our stops and / or FOMO are ignited. But it's buy...

    Fraidy-cat feeler order placed at $32 limit to buy 100. It's DJTime!

    Dumbest thing you ever did in trading

    I don't tell anyone about long options any more, for the same reason!

    Risk Management is the answer

    Everyone enters this world with a death sentence on their head with an unknown execution date! So don't take everything (especially money) too seriously, because you will lose it all later. But if I had to wager on the one thing that may be waiting for you on the other side, if there is such a...

    Mastering the Weekly Trading Debrief: A Guide for Day Traders

    I agree, and would like to expound on 7b: have a psychological debrief and try to revisit the states of mind that took over your brain. This, for me, was the main problem all along.

    Are trends just self fulfilling propecy?

    The horse will drink when it's looking for the water. Some horses (and mules) are so stubborn they will resist anyone giving them directions. Another kind of animal is the lemming, which follows the other ones to destruction. This was me for many years, buying training courses and trying to...

    Risk Management is the answer

    Faith is Jesus is a lot like Soros' theory of reflexivity. By believing, your behavior changes. Was it the change in behavior due to psychology, or some supernatural spirit that effects the improvements seen later? And when good results come, do they also influence the beliefs to strengthen...
