    Robinhood users had accounts looted. Risk of same thing happening to IB?

    Not sure, I dont have 10mil so I dont have those problems yet lol. First I would ask them if each account is protected 250k or do 5 accounts with my name on them fall under one 250k umbrella. Depending on their answer Id go from there and find a solution. Worst case, multiple brokers. Not...

    Robinhood users had accounts looted. Risk of same thing happening to IB?

    IMO, if IB got hacked and was required to payback every single cent to all their customers I can almost guarantee they would be insolvent/declare bankruptcy. And when bankruptcy is declared that marks them as a "financially troubled brokerage firm" In which case, the FED would step in and...

    Can you see the Algos tracks?

    Ive said this lots of times and ima stop saying it after this because some of you can be dense as fuck. 1. as stated from other people, reading level 2 or T&S is not tape reading. 2. T&S is not a reliable function to watch. Why? Because your broker can save up a whole bunch of orders and...

    Robinhood users had accounts looted. Risk of same thing happening to IB?

    lmao @ being afraid. A) your deposits are insured up to 250k like a bank. This is your protection if they ever did get hacked. That is the beauty of working with real brokerage/FINRA/SPIC type institutions. Not saying you would get your mula back the next day, it will take time, but you will...

    Another day trader bites the dust

    This is why you dont trade low float peeny stock BS. The majority of WORTHWHILE stocks never come close to 0. Buy and Hold is a good strategy....if you know what you are doing and arent trying to hold BS stocks.

    Insider info?

    I doubt it was BS. A lot of people made money. But his post sounded insider-ish - could be why it was takin down.

    Win percentage has nothing to do with probability. You can make money and have a 40% win percentage. He is risking more money because his profit target will, more than likely, get hit before his SL. When one is worried about a deep PB they will do this depending on where they are at in the...

    One reason people do this is because they will probably hit their PT before SL. So really no risk at all in that sense. High probability = high risk

    Took out a loan to transition to full-time trading. Now 27 years old.

    Yes its a cushy job. Normally recruiters have at least one enlistment under their belt and have to retrain for the position. Its a position to keep good people in the military. A perk.

    What leverage should be good for a newbie to use?

    yes its true higher leverage = higher risk, its common sense. Only use what its in your margin account and keep hard stop losses until you get your methodology down.

    Techniques for Day Trading the ES, NQ, YM, MES, MNQ, and MYM

    Nice Al brooks-ism, Plus high probability of at least 2 legs down so it wont hit your SL anytime soon. I would say on your chart where you say "look for opportunities to get in" At that point you get in for any reason - Per brooks.

    A simple example of using price action on the ES

    Some of these are typical h1 buy signal/pin bars. Although that one in the middle I probably wouldnt have paid that much attention to considering the bear trend and the upcoming L1 bar Which lead into 3 push down, DB/Micro DB, H2 buy signal/pin bar. Just imagine if you rode that all the way up.

    How do pips work? Each pip is 10$ or what? how much is a contract? I know nothing about forex but I like its liquidity.

    Does the fed inflating the dollar help us in the long run?

    Didnt mean it like that. Meant it in terms of a country's currency being the reserve currency. IMO this idea that it will somehow go back to the Gold standard is a pipe dream.

    ES Journal - 2019/2020

    I was just commenting about the info you provided. I just looked at the chart. BO at 11am. then went into a PB/Bear channel with a Micro DB. Looks like there will be one more leg up. Currently seems to be developing into a TR. Lots of overlap and horizontal BS. So hopefully the leg up comes...

    TR if there is confusion. Sounds like confusion to me. 50/50 shot of BO either direction.

    Does the fed inflating the dollar help us in the long run?

    Money is whatever a group of people decide what money is. Salt was money at one point. Until the US stops being the world reserve currency/Petro Dollar then all this talk is simply useless. There is no other currency able to take its place and there wont be for a very very long time.

    You will lose more in the stock market than in a casino

    The one thing I can tell you, his staunch support of Handley against anything bad is suspect, and he brings up Hadley at every turn he gets. Signs of an egomaniac. His constant promotion of Handley is also suspect. Just some signs I noticed a while back.
