Please do share more if or when you feel comfortable. I personally find it beneficial. What you say also matches very well with what Dustin has shown. He has shown 100K plus days, but says exactly like you that these are the days that make the year, which are outliers, and that most days...

I think for this to be true, there needs to be a "loose" definition of what the strategy is. For example, it cant just be a long only strategy. Furthermore, it has to be a strategy that allows for switching directions if the original trade idea is invalidated. (ie, when you lose on longs, you...

I would believe them. You have a very good posting history. I think its good to be blown away here at ET every now and then. And its also very interesting to see how you state the limitations of the way you trade. So if you don't mind sharing, I'd love to see what is possible.

I take it this trade is dead in the water? It went almost 150 against the 950 entry this morning.

Love that you're posting the chart. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and this gives a good idea of what you're doing. That long on MRNA at 0745 looks to have been the one that started eating away at your gains. I always find it a bitch to take a trade at pretty much the...

Thank-you very much Volpri. I went through all of your explanations. The funny thing is that given what we see happen over the next few hours, it was actually longs that would have hit targets sooner (not that your analysis was in any way bad of course), and ended up being more correct in the...

Excellent and detailed analysis Volpri. Really enjoy going through your trades and thought process. I'm a bit puzzled by trade 3 though. Using your chart to make my point, and counting the bars where price closes outside of the trading range. You say here that it was a successful BO, but...

A big drop in hashrate though assumes that you are still in an area that has access to the internet. Of course it might be a doomsday scenario, but in many countries that are using crypto, I imagine the internet is sparse. Sure you could wait it out for a few days or weeks until you get a...

To be honest, I think this is an excellent point. Gold exists as is, independent of anything else. BTC only exists if there is a network ready to verify what you have upon you wanting to use or transfer it. With BTC, you're not only relying on other people wanting to give you something for...

This is what really bothers me. Can someone really compare a live concert to a digital version? I was also going to make the comment that the day most men will put up with digital sex is the day I stop understanding the world. But you know, with so many hungry guys paying girls on OnlyFans...

I'm a sucker for watching ticks and after hundreds of hours, if not thousands, you really do start to "feel" the movement. The only issue I have is that the movement is sometimes very short lived. Sometimes you can see them want to break 4400 very badly lets say. Each time it jumps up, its...

I find this part interesting. It sounds like what you are saying is that your confidence level can somehow predict what will happen next. Its as if when the trade doesn't go in your direction, it means that you were somehow wrong about entering. When you say you don't go in if you're unsure...

Just to make sure I understand, you're long from 15049 and 15046 still as we flirt with breaking 15000 right now?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I remember, the lifetime license only applies to the version of NT you bought. Once they totally revamp the program with a new version, you're out of luck. Its just like Windows. You buy Windows 7 and get all the free upgrades for it, and can use it for...

If its too late to go short after NQ being down just 2% now, does this mean this call was only a day trade? In other words, do you not expect follow through and hence its just another buy the dip opportunity for a swing trader?

Well so much for my idea. The puts are a bit expensive. SPY closed at 439.26, and to get a put around 10 cents or so, we'd have to go down to the 435 or 434. I will for sure watch these on Monday though. The interesting thing though is that if we consider the close of 439, and lets say 3...

Thanks for the thorough explanations. You have me really intrigued by the asymmetry factor of the cheap options. I have it on my to-do list this weekend to look at super cheap puts for expiry on Monday. After such a huge rally going into the weekend, I imagine those puts must be super cheap, so...

Curious to ask how your week ended. You were bearish and that obviously didn't work out, but looking over your many trades you have on for any given day, you manage to have exposure to all scenarios. Plus, you seem to have that gift of being able to fluidly switch up the thesis when you see...

Intriguing. Where do you get this info? I'm eager to see if there is statistical value in this metric.

Will you give us an update today Dustin? Since you believed the drop will continue into this week, were you positioned for it? Of course if you're just trading the RTH session, it makes it difficult to go short after already such a big drop from Sunday, but there clearly was still more down...
