    So you wait until your trade is profitable to tell us? LOL.... I guess that means when you're quiet we should pray for you?

    Used IDEALPRO to convert currencies, now virtual position is displayed in TWS, how to avoid it?

    I don't remember exactly, but if you click on account window, there is a line for it there, and if you right-click on the position, you have the option to delete the position line. It might be under FX portfolio - Virtual FX position, but I don't recall exactly. But its in the account window...

    Negative S&P Returns Over The Next Decade: BofA

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the money that was already put into the market, is already in the market. For the market to keep grinding higher, more money needs to be plowed in. So where will this new money come from? I'm not saying the FED can't print even more, and become a larger...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    Have you seen any info about this? I would like to think that at this point of maturity for BTC, crashes like this wouldn't happen. I mean its practically trading like a penny stock. I saw in a video that BTC and other crypto have the huge benefit over precious metals in that its mostly...

    Thanks for the thorough explanation. Unfortunately, volatility trading is above my current scope of expertise. But I do appreciate it nevertheless and perhaps one day I will understand some of what you volatility traders do. (Taking directional trades with comprehensive trade management is...

    Today, McDonalds, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, and others accept bitcoin in El Salvador

    If BTC is going to be used as currency, we have to explore the idea of how deflationary it is. We have all seen the picture of how the US dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power in the last 100 years or something like this. But consider for one second what would happen if the amount of...

    Out of curiosity, how would you summarize this trade? You said you were heavy short at 610 on Tuesday evening. I assume this means with large size. Then you said you were prepared to add at 652, which is 40 points higher, and it did get there. It got as high as almost 15700, so 90 points...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I was watching like a hawk and saw as well how 30k was providing very good support. But I was too scared to buy more thinking that we will go down to 20k and I missed the whole move. :(

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I'm just looking at this visually. If we consider the call as you state, and mark it on this chart, I will be extremely generous and call it the move outlined via the red line at the red arrow. (there was a large counter move where it moved up before dropping a little lower, but I will just...

    Can anyone teach me trading?

    On some level, I like you post, but I generally think its all far too complex. Every single piece of advice you suggest has far too much analysis necessary. First you say we have to find which stocks will outperform the market. What kind of metrics are we going to use to do this? Will TSLA...

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    I love a prediction that is quantifiable both in time and price! But at the same time, I think the selling prediction of a few weeks ago was rather a dud. If Willy saw selling by the whales, and yet no significant selling occurred, does this mean that on-chain analytics isn't that powerful...

    Love your last line in that thread.... "Illiquid as hell, the float is very controlled. The guy who created it, Richard Heart, is now talking about on twitter about how he raised $27M for medical research and also displaying wealth by showing rolexes he is buying. Classic signs of a scam"

    Thanks, that's all I need to know. I just want to get into something legit that I can hold, or maybe at least swing trade where I just need to look at it weekly. I'm also fully immersed with futures trading, but just trying to not miss the next big thing. I bought lots of silver in 2013, and...

    Hey Daal, what is your opinion on Hex? Just saw a video on it. Surprisingly, I can't find any way to buy it even if I was interested. It doesn't seem to trade on Kraken. As an aside, its crazy to think of the huge opportunity missed in BTC from 2013. Then of course ETH also had an amazing...

    Its not a matter of being hurt. Its a matter of understanding female nature. You guys need a bit of red pill truth in your life. Go read The Rational Male by Rollo Tomassi as a starter.

    29 turning 30. 11 years of trading. First profiting year Journal 1

    You older guys who have been married for a long time have no idea what's out there now. These modern women have been conditioned through social media to believe that they are the prize. They don't even consider how they can be of benefit to the man because its all about their wants and...

    29 turning 30. 11 years of trading. First profiting year Journal 1

    I honestly don't understand the perceived difference between trading stocks and futures. If anything, futures have preferential tax treatment in the US, huge liquidity, just as easy to go short as go long, but granted, you can't get zero commissions. But aside from some pros and cons of each...

    29 turning 30. 11 years of trading. First profiting year Journal 1

    In my opinion, the bigger gamble is the "getting married soon" part. If you find yourself married and go through a bad drawdown, it will be exponentially worse with a wife to support. Lots of great traders here are divorced now and living happier lives.

    10 serious COVID patients given Israeli drug, leave hospital in one day

    I do believe in freedom of choice. It should kind of be like capitalism in the markets, but without the FED coming to the rescue of course, and letting bad companies die. (hence true capitalism, not like what we have now) Likewise, if you don't want the vaccine, that should be fine, but with...

    The Cryptocurrency Trading Journal

    I enjoy reading your journal, and I'm doing it so that I tweak my own bias. But this bias in me says that when shit hits the fan economically, most of this "digital" stuff will tank. The value in NFTs won't exist when free money stops flowing. The value of a digital world will be non...
