That if I'm not successful at trading - I will work my whole life in a cubicle for someone else -> definitely paranoid about that......

The self discovery path @ trading is through finding the system / technique / formula, fitting your personality traits. It's not about doing meditation, but finding an edge fitting your strengths. Wishing you success......

Why did VTGN collapse in the first place a year ago, from $26 to $1.5 ?? (hope you brought your shares after July 22th 2022.....)

1. The right scanner is depending on the filters you use. 2. Are you signed up to real market data at TradingView & IBKR(it's paid separate to the subscription)?

So the NQ futures are 616x leveraged, if I understood and calculated right. Which means a 1% loss will be 616x as well. With a $500 margin, a 0.16% move in the wrong direction would blow my position. How do you trade such an instrument ? Any specific risk management features for futures ?

Thanks. Do NQ futures move align with NQ on a 30-60min timeframe ?

Yep. That's what I'm looking for. The question is: 1) Where can I read about the daily QQQ 2) I'm intraday trading. Do SPY options move align with SPX within 30-60min time frame ?

I'm on IBKR, max 6x leverage. I'm asking about different instruments, maybe some contracts instead of buy&sell, (don't know enough about various instrument available)

Hi there, I'm trading the SP500 & the NASDAQ intraday, holding positions between 30min up to 2 hours max. Is there a way to get maximum leverage, to turn a 1% move into 30% or more. (don't worry, will still apply the 2% risk management rule) Thanks

You've got a point. I personally would still be reevaluating. Money loss doesn't affect only your pnl, if youv'e had a unexpected very bad month, it can ruin your confidence, which is IMHO more important than your pnl.

Its not a golden number, it's the golden cycle. If your system worked well over: 1) bear market 2) bull market 3) bear trap 4) bull trap 5) inflation 6) recession. That's the parameter in my opinion.

5 bad days = -20%. Two bad weeks = -40%. Can you afford that ??

Wow. The trading psychology books in real... Sorry man, but it's not a miracle, you capitulated at max fear (psychological), which everyone else did as well - and as no sellers left, the stock went back up. 2nd mistake, you didn't close your loss early, as you knew better, and couldn't adapt...

OMG! Dosn't make any sense. Binance BTC volume is 80% of total BTC trading volume. And I don't believe there are not enough TP orders to keep the price below $130k. Some platform error.

@trend2009 @MoreLeverage Could you please specify the type of trading the broker suspended ? I assume regular successful trading doesn't get banned, more likely arbitrage or disrupting the order book.... Just want to know of what to be careful....

Yep :D So is it right to conclude, there are no options for my instruments. :( Sorry for the bother. I just wanted to here from pros, before I waste my time. (have 0 clue about options at the moment) Thanks

I trade medium cap stocks. With $10-$150mln daily Dollar volume. Do they have daily options at all ?

Chose an extra volatile (and profitable) trade. Buy/Sell was successful... +57.67% What would options yield here? #ELOX July 11th Entry 10:21:05 ($5.67) Exit 10:54:00 ($8.94)

I forgot to mention: I trade relative highly volatile stocks. (5-20% movements within 30min and less) Do option prices move as strong so fast as the underlying asset ? And can I "exit the position" at any time ? (or is there a lack of options liquidity during volatility)

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for the info.
