I totally agree,,,,, otherwise I could just put my money into index funds and be done with it.... I think to be worth all the effort and frustration,,,, I would hope to eventually make premium over and above the major indexes, oherwise it just is not worth it...

not sure if I this topic has been discussed... but what do you feel is a realistic % return on investment per year from trading? 10%. 20%, 100%? what? And please if you are a successful trader put out what your real returns have been like.

this is all gonna end when USA declares it illegal to buy/sell/hold crypto.. they are going to cite that it is used for money laundering and paying/receiving funds for illegal activities... just like the end for online gambling

Buy1Sell2....my post,,, I'll post what I wish,,,but thankx for acting as the ET Police

duh,,, yeah..that is my point.... this was meant to be a JOKE!! everyone get a grip...

this was meant as a joke,,,sorta... no I was in and out along the way for trades of +12, +10, +6, etc.... just seems so simple when you look at a chart like this,,,,but it is hard to see as it unfolds...

Here it is just so easy... buy low,,sell high!! so easy to see this AFTER it occurs,,, I made $$ today so who cares... but does anyone else look at a chart like this NQ from today and think it should easier haha

I did not ignore all this advice.... @Xela great advice on looking at previous S/R and using ATR.... I have been playing with using a multiple on ATR for Stop/Target....seems like 1X to 1.3X is just right.... any thoughts

This is one of those times when I totally question this whole thing. Trading is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever tackled. And you gotta fail your way to success. I’m having a crappy run right now. I start to question it all and look for a new strategy,etc. I have been a successful trader...

I have come across some interesting info on this indicator. I trade NQ Index Futures, but I am sure the methodology could be applied to any trading asset. Go Long at bottom of channel and short at the top. I am sure that is way too simplistic, but maybe simple is what we all need Who...

oh,,, got ya.... then when is the next announcement...what is coming out today are the minutes from the last meeting... I have been to the fed website but cannot locate the announcement dates https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomccalendars.htm

please confirm... it is at 2:00PM EST ,,,correct? I wanna be flat

right now the answer is that I am generating approx 25% per month trading income compared to my regular incomwe. My goal right now is not really how much money I make, rather how well I am trading. Am I following my rules? Am I journaling? studying? over trading? etc....

Thankx... all I know it is damm hard to trade and have a full time job as well. I am at my laptop at a startbucks at 5:45 am PST m-f trading...then go to work at 8:30am , and fortunately I can still trade, but these turn into long days, about 11-12 hours of work. it is my dream to trade...

this is my issue as well. I am not bragging , but I do make over 5 figures per month in my regular job. so, how the heck do I get to a point to replace that? I always thought that answer was the scalability of trading. I trade NQ and ES Futures,,, so I figure if I can trade small lots...

Do any full time traders have any advice from your experience on how to go full time? when? what goals should I be achieving to work towards it, etc. I am way way far from achieving my earnings I make at my regular job, so this seems like it would be years off from now. I know I need more...

Robert... I have accounts with IB and Transact... maybe I avert this by sending checks vs wires... I am going to look at a regional bank and have the discussion up front before I open the account

Thank you... finally someone who has reasonable things to say...but watch out buddy,,, the Crypto fans do not like for Crypto to be criticized by anyone. It is almost like a cult.

I just got notice that my current US bank (I live is USA) with Citi has made a "business" decision to close my account. They do not like the activity I have of wiring $$ out to my brokerage accounts and back. The same exact thing happened to me at Chase about 5 years ago. does anyone have...

I got tired of saying this was trash and gave up.. the Crypto fans are very very convinced otherwise. I said about a year ago that the end would be government's outlawing it, citing that it is used for money laundering and paying/receiving $$ for illegal activity. just like the USA said with...
