    This is the end. We are witnessing collapse of the global economy

    Right. Including the white house. I'm very worried for my life for the first time. Study Spanish flu, lasted 3 years, killed millions. Dumb undisciplined people and inconsistent policy will cost many their lives.

    I certainly know entries; I've written dozens of articles on the topic. They are important..... but your exit determines your profit or loss. Say you randomly enter during consolidation and take a tiny stop, vs a trader who enters a great looking breakout, only to get into a false breakout...

    Smart questions! Although I can't make recommendations, I can tell you how I trade.... 1) It completely depends on the day's volatility. For example Friday was flat choppy so I did no daytrades. Instead I bought premkt and eod for weekend swingtrade holds. I never set arbitrary number of...

    Additional tip Your EXITS are far more important than entries. In early years I thought entry patterns and signals were critical. They're not. Random entries with expert trade management and scaling would do better. Best is strong entry setups with careful exits, re-entries, scaling and...

    And that's why I make no performance claims, unlike dishonest educators. I publish my lessons learned to thousands of followers, Moneyshow audiences and TASC readers. I do not claim to have made a fortune trading or bs people saying they'll become profitable, I take the high road. It...

    I don't have 21 years of annual pnls memorized, nor would I post my personal finance information on a public forum even if I did...lol Not defensive, just common sense. Besides, per compliance regs I make no profitability nor performance claims of any kind. I've had both up and down years...

    This is the end. We are witnessing collapse of the global economy

    I'm really worried, because there's no cure, no vaccine and undisciplined dumbfks not staying home. Like Spanish flu millions worldwide may die. One key point I saw a doctor make is back then, after the spring outbreak subsided, people got complacent during summer, failed to lockdown...

    Right! As long as price stays above prior day's high into the close I keep adding.. Or if they gap up a lot premkt I sell starting 7:15am to book profits. Btw in this volatile mkt I usually hold swings 3 days at most

    Hey I actually agree with you for once, yay. I've done millions worth of trades but even on good years netted peanuts. That's why I'm still an educator, because I make my main income from teaching thousands my lessons learned vs netting a lot. My point is at least I have a lot of experience...

    Smart questions 1. I take a mix of small stops, breakevens and wins constantly, it's a numbers game.. by tight stops, and this is crucial game changing stuff, I mean inexpensive stops. So I often start a sequence of day trades with just 20 shares with $2 trailing stop (big stop but small...

    Great question, for multi-week trades I use 90day daily candle charts with 50/100/200SMA for decision support. Many other tips are in my popular Trading on Momentum column articles in each month's Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine

    Good question, another tip is to use TRIN to help stay disciplined for being long vs short bias, eg focus on longs only when TRIN is <1

    Thx man, both TRIN & VIX are critical, I covered trin in other post, re vix I trade TVIX VXX most days so I use their volatility as barometer for directional volatility and tradability of day eg if TVIX drops I buy TQQQ
