    VIX is moving

    Hope so, I'm long UVXY. Good chart observation, I'm using VIX 30 as resistance, will scale up if it stays over 30 for at least a couple of days

    Importance of demo

    IB has an outstanding demo/sim platform. I believe that this process should be Sim/demo mode using typical size until you're consistent, or can double your sim account Then at least a few months live trading small size live until consistent Then gradually scale up

    Global Impact of a “Blue Wave” Election Outcome

    I could be wrong but I think markets will bounce a bit this week if stimulus bill passes, then drop into the election. Then if Biden wins, a brief relief rally followed by strong end of year selloff. The full scope of covid plus high taxes from Biden may cause a downturn most likely.

    Covid lockdown panic was caused by Fauci's "1% error"!

    It looks really bad, if it's like Spanish flu the worst is yet to come and 2million+ worldwide are going to die. I've never been truly scared of anything in my life until now. This beast is terrifying, there's no cure and I don't trust the government to solve it soon.

    Ken's KPOP thread: favorite music videos

    I've dated dozens of young women worldwide, decided when I lived in Waikiki to marry one from Japan because like many ladies from Asian countries: traditional family values, honesty much healthier foods and lifestyle, no booze or drugs, her daily fresh cooking has been great for 20 years...

    Does the market really change?

    That type of analysis is very useful, if consistent. It would be great to see if it works by sector and/or price range of stocks, or adapt parameters as needed.

    And another day trader bites the dust

    Dumbest fucking thread of the week. What broker costs? We trade commission free in the USA. I've been day trading stocks since 1999 and have trained thousands. Attacking daytrading is like attacking small business entrepreneurs, yes most newbies lose, so what. That simply makes it risky...

    Kind of a think out loud thread. Reminders, tips etc Mine: - trade less often, be more selective - focus on gappers and 2dh charts - trade more size with great charts, eg I did well with HTZ SQQQ Friday but undertraded them - price action and trade management is all that matters, not...
