It is amazing someone would actually "defend" or "ask" about this. The thing has a computer generated voice. This is akin to a robo-spam call or a Bot driven text msgs. It is for people who are "digital serfs". The lowest on the cyber food chain and are blindly manipulated by those who...

I make my own also. Herb d'Provence or smoked hot paprika are my two mains. One of the simplest things to make, it just takes skill.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-04/carvana-stock-collapse-96-plunge-erases-billions-from-father-son-duo-s-wealth?srnd=markets-vp Ouch. Reminds me of the distinction about where money flows. Sometimes it sloshes around and there is opportunity short-med term. Sometimes it...

MarkBrown is one of less than a handful people I have gotten actionable help from. FWIW: When researching new tools: "Buy a lifetime license of Multicharts" Thanks MB

Looking for drama when it is not there is a fools errand. That being said, the market is vulnerable to geopolitical shock, OTH it always is, but it would start from a lower valuation than 12 months ago. It takes a while for a huge Fed hangover to end. Patience and seeing reality is key...

Yeah at the time a lot of people (we did not use the word troll), did not believe as a newbie I broke even. So I actually posted a years trades. Churned something like 50K of comms. Overall I think the issue was too much focus on setups and not enough focus on entry, and exit setups, and...

I don't think he was making money. Nor did I. Basically we sort of exhausted "tape reading" using volume and candle patters. It went on for years. After 3 years of intense day trading futures I broke even after comms. OTH all the money I did make was in swing trading. Haha, I was a...

Yes to the archives. I used to trade with DBphoenix. Some of it is outdated as the markets have changed and the rise of the algo driven trading. We watched when the spoofing DOM just started! It is a good starting point and provides a context to all the people who grew up on cell phone...

If you think CA taxes are a problem, try Canadian. I file WA, CA and Canadian. I would ask the CA franchise Tax board. Remarkably, I had a strange issue with a document arriving before it matched their records, and they sent a letter. I was dreading contacting them. A person answered...

Old adage war-battle adage about plans are tossed out at first contact with the enemy because the enemy has a say on what will happen. Make no mistake, the markets have a say in what will happen. Plans are great, but the ability to adapt in real time is required. Plans that do not take this...

You really should be using the search. This was just asked a month ago.

Exits are not monolithic. Using a "predetermined loss" is an example. Monastic, overly simplified. Depending upon the entry* there are usually signs it is not going to work out as the trade continues. Most setups are not enter and forget, some might be, but most are not. Wishful and/or...

Yeah the engines are not able to deal with per tick resolution. In fact they barely deal with then Open-Close-High-Low resolution consistently. To wit you can play forward bar by bar, go back one bar and it recalculates resulting in "finding" new OCHLs that were always there. Just something...

Last comment from me. You just bolstered my points. You think 1) you are 1/2 done, 2) P and L are separate exit solutions, 3) are missing more than 1/2 and don't know it. 4) not really in the ball park yet alone in the game, more like in the parking lot getting a game guide. Not trying to...

Focus more on your exits more. You are missing an essential portion. In farm terms you don't plant a crop without a, growing, harvest, storage and sale plan. Based on your responses in this and other posts, it is best you do more work before anyone, including me or MB, give specifics on what...

Hi Val, I am working myself into long positions, but am in the VERY VERY early stages as conditions are not right yet for most of it. But rather than a knee jerk "market crash gotta own", I''m buying only things that are not correlated to the overall market AND have potential fundamentally...

And a "reverse" and a "backfill exit BE or Exit on small loss" also. You have 15% of system, and the easy part at that. All fixable if you realize it.

MC is multicharts :D. https://www.multicharts.com/. They have sales on black Friday too.

I agree with all of the above except I believe because the ETF represent a notional value that sometime is MUCH larger than the underlying assets, there is a possibility of an "accident" where underlying and the ETF become out of sync in times of high stress. I can't recall the article I read...

Hi Mark, I am not surprised by the SC issue. When I was reviewing platforms for my IB account, I rejected, NT and SC. I looked over the forums for issues and bugs, and then looked over the development-release logs and the type of fixes and "improvements". Based on my experience as a Test...
