    Why is trading so difficult?

    What if a good setup comes infrequently. Good means the only way ONE can make money. It is nonsense to bet very large each time it appears because IT can lose multiple times in a row. You cant be a trader under these conditions. So find a frequent, mediocre setup and bring ONES flaws to the...

    Trading Experience

    Calling a bubble top in "some " asset(s) in the next few months and to position in the leveraged shorts of said asset. Wow, this is eye opening complex , professional advice for free. The over use of the word 'capital' reminds me of the Stratton Oakmont movie.....They were accredited I...

    do you typically wait for a "confirmation candle" before going short?

    Confirmation for this amateur was always a delay or lag to enter. Not saying its bad but maybe its another system or method and should be treated as such. Moving averages are excellent for confirmation.

    Destriero's single-name vola journal (riskarb; atticus; et al)

    I don't assume or presume anything of your loss but it is always good for us to stay close to family, the young, soft ones . Very stressful time. Best wishes.

    Bull Flag question

    It's an auction market. Possibly those that move price will not be looking at any mechanisms and indicators that we have available to us within a flag looking consolidation. I take it that you are looking at consolidations between momentum ignitions(repricing , rapidly, across a liquidity...

    Destriero's single-name vola journal (riskarb; atticus; et al)

    Had a 44 year old brother with a mass and pleurisy. Claritan was prescribed. Died the following day due to pulminary embolisms resulting in heart attack. Long time ago. My condolences.

    How to overcome the inability to accept small losses when wrong on trades?

    I am not certain but this problem has been an issue when you have no edge. If you are having a good year or are in phase with product or market it is easy to lose and scratch and move to next. Sort of like trying to squeeze blood from a rock....it's not there...and can only lead to losses. Is...

    What are your thoughts on gold backed crypto?

    There are presently claims on gold that exceed the underlying so this may be another less than full claim. Is this too obvious to state?

    "We Understand The Chinese Government Has Halted Purchases Of US Treasuries": SGH

    That was a quick deal. No choice for me but to buy a market break out of this consolidation area top. No telling that this cant drift for weeks(s)...or not

    "We Understand The Chinese Government Has Halted Purchases Of US Treasuries": SGH

    Yeah, from that relatively strong position you mention. But I don't believe at all this will actually go far. Probably dropping of all tarrifs and better US access to Chinese markets....a deal in the next 6 months and a 2500 SP500.

    "We Understand The Chinese Government Has Halted Purchases Of US Treasuries": SGH

    Someone asked why China doesn't want a better / higher yield on the treasuries they purchase? Trade deficits and USgov. budget deficits benefit China today. They encourage and fund a low cost (same annual cost as 1980's budget deficits) deficit . This is in effect the US gov. stepping up to...

    Supplements for Joint Pain?

    I can only speak for myself that degeneration is a slow process. 15 years ago had 50% cartiledge loss in knees(x-ray alone can determine this). Further 3 to 8 mm holes are through the cartilage and signal strength of meniscus is weak but intact meaning degeneration. This is simple wear and tear...

    "Hit Their Stocks": Chinese Press Warns Of "Ample Weapons" To Win US Trade War

    This is not a heavyweight boxing match. IMO there is no equal by a very large margin in capital, equity , debt and currency markets to the US markets. Confidence, depth, liquidity, freedom in markets, governent and federal reserve is on example with each global crisis despite protestations and...

    "Hit Their Stocks": Chinese Press Warns Of "Ample Weapons" To Win US Trade War

    Market is headline dependent here. Seems a dull, no news drift is 250 Dow points up buit I expect bottom of this trade war range to get taken out. Seperately, Powell is unfazed and determined with QT in progress and 3-4 hikes this year. He may be suppressing and sidelining the natural dove...

    Do you think the costs of the Trump trade war will exceed the stimulus from the Trump tax cuts?

    A US tightening policy on a couple of fronts leading to a wiff of a global US dollar credit crunch(LIBOR-OIS) and a ten over two treasury spread heading to zero ae fundamental problems. Uncertainty regarding this trade war creates vol. and a bearish bias IMO . I hope talk of currency devals and...

    Custom/proprietary indicators?

    I wouldn't use the absolute value for the bottom panel. Seperate into long an short panel. Trend becomes obvious seeing both . Use volatility based horizontal line in both panels. Toss the other two panels. iMO. Try other price averages( not ma's). Dont feel you are giving anything important...
