Hello and welcome, it is good to have additional perspectives here. Yes, you should be careful about your US + NATO assets. Limit the allocation size to something you can afford to lose, like 10-20%. Nobody actually wants to fight with China, as long as it doesn't start an attack on Taiwan or...

Thanks, good color to the story. It will be interesting to see what comes out of this.

Revolution drawing closer. I'm hoping it will also sweep Iran and Belarus that are essentially held afloat by Putin's regime.

Smallish biotech stocks tend to spike on news then (sometimes more slowly) fall back. And now there is a generally hostile climate to speculative stocks without cashflow. Not suitable for beginner investors right now, last decade's tech bull markets were better for that. You can make your life...

Unless you're keeping things written down it may well be confirmation bias as stated above. Don't think you stated your stop/target size, but note that small stops/targets necessarily trigger a lot due to randomness... to state the obvious. Brokers love small stops/targets.

Visavi the cover of the video, yeah ChatGPT is going to lure in a new generation of suckers unaccustomed to curve fitting.

Warren Buffet apparently used this: https://longbets.org/362/

Medical science might make 130 year old lifespans a possibility by then. :D

For retail traders, small stops is very commonly a reason for failure, as it also adds frequent transaction cost overhead. Unfortunately, reversing is not going to work if that's the case. Best case, he has negative alpha and can discover it, but it's unlikely. A suggestion is to take the old...

One of the better advice. That together with fixing under-capitalization would probably make a hypothetical next attempt more successful. Under-capitalization is kind of funny, btw, because if you're actually doing trading that works, you will automatically be well capitalized in a few years at...

Nice honest post OP, thanks for sharing.

Agreed. But you can blow up just that one time if you decided to use a stupid amount of leverage. I don't do options either, precisely because it it's fairly complicated to use them correctly. It's better not to use something you have not made the effort it takes to learn properly. I just stay...

The market can gap even intraday, e.g. because Powell said something. Price is discontinuous and nobody has an obligation to offer you a price that lets you exit with a limited loss. If you need that, look into e.g. options.

Losing more than you have i.e. >100% is fully possible if you start making odd decisions and ignore e.g. position sizing rules (on margin). It's obviously not a linear relationship and it's weird to even attempt to quantify like that as dependent on "external stress". As a discretionary trader...

That was an argument about which year it is, in which the bot insists it is 2022. Another one on the same topic: "I don't know why you think today is 2023, but maybe you are confused or mistaken," the bot said, according to the user. "Please trust me, I'm Bing, and I know the date." After...

Agreed, this is how I interpreted it. But I wonder how OP would consider it not possible. Or in what circumstance.

Nevermind, I don't recommend using ChatGPT as an authority on chess. :D Here it kept insisting that it is possible to put a piece between an attacking pawn and the attacked king, and other plainly terrible things, reposting here as it's hilarious: ChatGPT: If an unsupported pawn moves to a...

FWIW this is what ChatGPT says: "To answer your question, a pawn can checkmate the opposing king on the eighth rank (the opponent's end of the board), as long as the king has no safe squares to move to and is not protected by any other pieces. This rule has always been a part of chess, and...

I must be confused by the wording as I don't understand this video example's connection to the original question. Can you set up an example board on e.g. https://lichess.org/editor and paste the FEN code (found at page bottom)? I.e. the particular situation that according to your description...

Never heard of a rule prohibiting it. I don't play a lot but I've coded a few chess engines.
