Ok, understood.

A month ago... Yes. The point isn't to predict it's to use probabilities. Meaning first week, second, third, week etc it takes some people longer to catch on than others (I certainly wasn't short at the top) but once you have enough information IE: The indicators you use, fundamental...

Do you realize some of the up moves you see (in the US markets) are because of short covering? It causes balance and imbalances, which creates opportunities for traders. It isn't as simple as "ban short selling, market up!" Just because you ban short selling isn't going to magically...

This will probably continue for a while. I say that based upon both technical and fundamental factors. Even if we completely remove fundamental factors there's so much damage done to larger charts, that there's far more scenarios that this movement will continue as oppose to it not. But it is...

What exactly would be the purpose of me marking this? I would need to hire a part time assistant to keep track all of the "calls" people make on here where they project months to years out.

THIS is the baby steps? I was going to ask you to post this in a form lower IQ people like me can read it, as well as post an English language version of it.

It's all about perception though, bailing out the corporate companies as opposed to directly the people has worked at least as far as temporarily slowing down the inevitable. Sure, there's no way to know but it's plausible giving money directly to the people may have change perception enough...

I completely understand that and can appreciate that, but not everyone is in a position to do that and/or some would argue they just don't have the balls. No real objections to that view point if that's how you see it either. Also, yes everyone wants to make a lot of money but going for "the...

You're telling him the opportunity is to make multiples, he's telling you there's a reason he isn't doing that and for him trading smaller and wider works. Obviously he doesn't see or isn't comfortable pushing it, it seems you're projecting onto him unless I missed a post or am misunderstanding.

So far, I've had 0 issues with Tradestation for anything during these times. *Been able to log in 100% of the time *No errant trades, bad fills or charts freezing *Margins have been increased, but not as high as some others that have been reported on here. *I can not speak to the financials...

DOM is rough, yes everyone says "keep emotions out" but most traders still struggle with that. Now add a DOM that even in more normal markets is floating up and down and moving all over the place. Trading on a chart is better and more efficient in 95% of scenarios (I don't say 100% because...

When it's actually moving up and down, this is not THAT difficult to trade if you have an actual strategy / edge that you know works. Certainly not easy but the movement has not been so crazy that it's unimaginable that it can be traded consistently (outside of when it just limits down and/or...

what do you expect when people here are calling the bottom? they have absolutely 0 good reasons besides throwing out a guess and hoping to get lucky, for what reason? bragging rights? because it certainly can't have to do with making money (if you can predict the bottom this good on a larger...

My initial went up 40% and day trade rate went up over 270%.

Yeah, maybe OP or someone else can point this out to me in case I am over looking something or missing the point, but this person is in Israel. Let's pretend for argument sake I have multiple strategies that if automated would net a profit, what's stopping him from using the strategy I...

I am sorry I genuinely don't understand why you're quoting me and asking me that. This guy is talking about there being no market and that the exchanges might as well be closed. I do realize he also in addition to that talking about people being sent home. I was more referencing...

Obviously it's in my best interest for the markets to not be so crappy that they completely collapse. So, on that I can agree and sympathize with your points. But there was certainly a market today. I traded it just fine.

You really think you know that as a fact? There was over 3 mil volume in ES traded today per contract. Sure, a lot of that was due to roll over but point still stands.

Yes, but I am just speaking in general terms, not particularly about today as these are extraordinary times. Even using today as an example if you were short or started to short around 3:30pm time and didn't cover for profits you likely weren't very happy. But if you don't believe me just...

Well that may be true, but it's also nothing more than an equal and opposite reaction to the markets going virtually straight up along with all other actions taken by fed and etc in the past years / decades. Not many people complain or act surprised than, only when the opposite happens (of...
