Waited all day for that rally. Phew

Yeah but 2hrs? I thought it was 15 min breaks

The ym has been off for 2 hours now. Why so long? The breakers are usually 15mins

Of course. I mean let's say you're +250k. Are you really going to hold on for 1m or just take all the money out to spend on coke and whores?

That sounds like a backtest that took advantage of a very specific market to go 10x in 3 months. How can you be sure those specific scenarios will occur again?

really more worrisome? The problem is the strain on hospitals for people with severe respiratory issues and the then impact after on services and economy. So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 100,000 illnesses and more than 3,000 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with...

I'm wondering why, that's all. Since it seems counterintuitive

So where's all the volume coming from?!

So you called it a bull market a week after the bottom in 2009? :)

I don't think you can call this a bear market, it's just news reaction and has only been 2 weeks. A proper bear market takes months

Depends. You can have a larger target with smaller stops. However, if volatility is higher then that's making your target higher and therefore need a larger stop.

Over the weekend or during the week? Systems are often down for weekend upgrades

What stock is it? How far below or above break even are you? Kind of an interesting point since the market could bounce here. Depending on the stock you could wait a little bit before buying the put. You could also consider cheaper further otm puts but need to weigh the pros and cons and...

As above. You either close the whole lot or put on a protective put

Look at the thread you're on...
