You don't get it. That's alright. Apple has been strong against the other tech stock by at least 20% during this downturn. Good place to put money right now. This has NOTHING to do with what I'm talking about. And your 2 minute chart doesn't show anything of what I'm talking about either.

You might try scalping instead using Medved Trader and one good tech stock.. because this is certainly not the leading indicator I use that shows predictable indication what a 1 minute candle is going to do..

Shake your head all you want. I know what I know and you don't care about "stonks" remember?

FFS.. I'm talking about a graphical leading indicator for heavy weighted tech stocks.. not a thought experiment.. smh.. :banghead: :D

Nope! You want to know what Apple's next 1 minute candle is going to look like.. (more or less) you look at the NDX..

It's enough to just watch the index edges on a 1 minute candle! Don't think my brain would agree with compositing indexes .. lol

It's really pretty simple, if the NDX has its right edge moving up, the candle coming up on the 1 min chart for Apple will 90% be coming up green or going from red to green. If the Vix is going down.. all the better. It's as simple as that.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking here and why then. These are the indexes I watch I sent to you in the screen shot, so you have me quite confused.. lol

The Vix ideally should be showing an increase while the index is showing a decrease. And vice versa. Sometimes this isn't what you see and I think it is mostly explained by institutional money or events which trigger a move in the stock but not a counter move in the Vix. It does help you...

Some stocks like Amazon, Apple, etc are heavy weighted in the indexes, they move according to the indexes and if it is cause and effect, it is still enough of a leading indicator watching the index panels above to see how they will come up minute by minute, etc.

Yes. What is happening behind the algorithms I don't want to know. What I see is that if the right edge of the index panel is increasing, decreasing, level, slowly pointing up etc.. the 1 minute candles coming up will reflect that most of the time, so much so that you know ahead when a candle...

When I've pressed the wrong button and have ended up with 200 shares, inadvertently sizing up.. instead of selling. Or any other dumb thing I've convoluted along the way, the position & sizing is always showing up on the panel. Then I hit.. "Flatten Now".. LOL

The simulator is the exact same thing as the Think or Swim platform, you just press a button when you launch it if you want the Simulator side or the Real money side. I don't know but it seems to have everything.. seems to be very much focused on futures, etc. I'm just using the active trader...

Well for one thing, I prefer the big cap stocks where there is the tempo of the market to deal with that I can relate to more easily and it is safer. Plus I don't trade without having those indexes just above the chart and that is what I keep my eye on mostly, because it will show me the way...

I'm sure the point will come where I use increased sizing. But that's nothing I want to try until my confidence increases according to my experience doing this. But the problem is that increased sizing over 200 shares also affects how the trades go through with market orders, because these are...

I went long and short NVDA all day. Huge moves, caught a few, lost a few and made about 9 bad trades. Enough to set me back from clearing over $200.00 today.

Yep I'm shorting too. I may have caught some of the action before 9:50, but nothing to write home about..

Yeah I was wondering why this is mean? I don't know who this guy is. But try to think here... my earlier years of trading allowed me to come to the point I am now.. It doesn't grow on trees you know.. Scalping is trading!!!! There I said it :D:strong:

Except it is also 32k a year.... extra income without putting my other gains in the market at risk.. And a lot of traders would like to make $150 a day plus I imagine.. instead of taking big risks for the bigger trades..
