You said "negative rates are related to inflation but they aren't themselves deflation" Is that a typo? Also, the point is to look forward in a reasonable manner given multiple factors and probabilities, not just blindly throw out a prediction. The thing is once you've gone past the "no...

We've already went down a path along time ago, where it's extremely hard to go back as you put it. Negative rates would just be used to extend the timeline and push the negative effects further into the future.

Eventually, yes. But hopefully not yet, they shouldn't of even lowered the rates like they did. Should be saving those moves, for once we're further along into the corona virus and also if / when things stabilize more, than use that to attempt to juice things back up. There's too many...

I've traded a lot of different platforms and speaking from personal experience I can execute orders faster on a DOM than a chart(this positive does not out weigh the negatives) With that said, as far as efficiency all the information I have seen, based on personal experience and based on all...

I am also only an intra-day trader and agree with most of what you said. I also understand and appreciate it does no good to overly worry about a "doomsday" or "end of world" scenario, none the less the amount of people that are saying things like they are looking forward to buying stocks low...

My goodness, if US is even close to what happened / is happening in Japan I will be unbelievably happy if things are that stable and I will truly consider it a blessing.

Why not go in 50%, that way if it dips to 0.50 you can average in.

EDIT: I don't long term invest only trade, so even though I believe and have solid reasoning's for the case made, I do not want to influence you on something I don't actually do live with my own money. Where as trading I don't mind doing that as much, because I am actually in the trenches...

An algo dominated markets is not what is stopping 99.9% of people on these boards from being profitable. You could trade 50-80 ES lots consistently and generally speaking you're still not going to attract any serious algo attention. That's way beyond what most people here will even ever dream...

I am on pace to make what I made last month. Again, not "killing it" or even close to that, but I am making what I need to. Allow me to explain why and maybe it will make more sense to you. First of all there have been plenty of post for some time now from myself and others laying out a...

Thank you providing a reasonable factual post, they're on the endangered species list these days.

I get it, but read what you're saying. You're basically saying the same thing I am, that if you're a trader, you need to just find the best trades you can every day in and out and that calling the tops and bottoms even if you get it perfect is just ONE trade. So, it's fine to do if you can...

With the way you address people on here and the confidence you show, than I am sure you know the base underlining price structure and patterns in the markets hasn't changed in a very long time (I know factually that it hasn't for at least 20 years). With that said while I don't personally...

No one can answer this question for you. If you mainly day trade, does it really matter if the market opens up or down? You can always adjust your chart size and position size based upon where the market is and how it's acting(that's what I do as I only day trade) If you think or know you...

This is 100% accurate. Not much has changed besides larger charts are more active, because larger players are active.. hence just wider swings and the fact that momentum has switched from strong - accumulation to weaker - distribution. Same overall patterns are in tact though for both long...

Yes, I want to know the exact bottom(I will allow the call to be off by 5 S&P points or 20 NQ points).

I don't understand, why would one instrument only provide a few setups each week? I mainly trade one instrument and there's normally like at the very least 2-5 good/great setups per day and 8-20 additional so-so / acceptable setups.

I genuinely don't understand your question, could you and/or someone else clarify for me please?

Yes, even the most simple indicator like two EMA's together can show that up moves are going to have a really hard time holding and if/when we get one that last longer than a day, it still has a high probability that a large part of that move will be retraced fairly quickly. I am genuinely...

I think there's too many factors in play to say which one is easier, depends on the individual and circumstances. Overall I'd say it's easier in normal times for most people, they could just go long, normally be profitable at some point and if averaged down typically would let you out...
