As someone with 2 degrees in psychology, UCLA and Master's from CSULB I find the dichotomy fascinating. Doomers vs deniers. No doubt the rest of the world shakes their heads In disbelief at stubbornly suicidal Americans. Read up on Spanish flu-- history is repeating itself. There were...

See https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/n-a.341497/page-2 For swingtrading yes because I start small and scale in up to 150 shares on the 6 or so ETFs I trade, so total number of shares can easily be >500, with total capital up to 10-15k or more. For daytrading right though, max 100...

I will increase position size, do fewer trades, and spend more time on postmodern analysis of stopouts than winners.... good idea, thx

Do you guys honestly disagree with Fauci, Gottlieb and health care professionals?? Really? https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ I get it re freedom but this is an emergency type situation. I think sadly the only thing that will get people to wake tf up is if they lose someone close to them to the...

With the highest deaths in the world from coronavirus and cases spiking to record highs.... Why are so many Americans so stupidly suicidal and stubborn? Even Fauci said there's an anti-science bias. Unlike smart folks in Asian countries,, Americans don't all wear masks States reopen, see...

Great ideas here, thanks for posting them! I'm sure that they'll be helpful to a lot of traders as well. I like the idea ddg re posting blotters and explaining trades, the public look could help inhibit overtrading, thx. I do a lot of scaling and hedging because I'm constantly testing new...

Mainly it's trading when you don't have a strong edge, a strong setup. Or trading when there's a just ok breakout or pivot. Or because you're impatient and tired of waiting for great setups

Good point re block and ignore plus merits of posts.. it would be great if everyone would simply keep things positive vs childish attacks.. my competitors have anonymously trolled me too, it's just negative and concerning to sponsors and visitors

Overtrading is a common challenge. How do you deal with it? Note the definition varies widely from trader to trader. My average number of daily trades may be overtrading for a new trader, but undertrading for another longtime trader. I love the action and tend to overtrade, as many as 60...

Good point especially re mean reversion. I have noticed TRIN not as consistently correlated these past few months vs years ago. Excellent point, re off exchange volume screwing with it, thx I was wondering why lower correlation. Brilliant insight, much appreciated.... that explains it. Fwiw...

Thanks for posting charts. Actually that supports my point, they are inversely correlated. The market was long bias when TRIN down at .4, becoming bearish as TRIN got over 1. Right re TRIN trend is important that's why I use line chart. Digital reading is also useful to see TRIN value at a...

No, in many posts there were malicious attacks, false allegations and other defamatory comments that definitely met legal criteria for slander by several posters. Trolling creates an unwanted negative toxic environment that is bad for members, sponsors and site visitors.

I use a 1-minute line chart plus more useful, a quote box that updates frequently (I believe every 30seconds)

Because I asked Baron. We don't like trolling and libelous bs at the forum. Buhbye Instead of wasting time attacking sponsors and trolling, why not add useful trading ideas instead? Trolls get banned. Spend your time on constructive dialogue, not petty attacks.. #trollssuck

I've relied on the TRIN for decades when daytrading, because it helps identify bullish vs bearish bias in the market (I use it w/VIX & SPY charts). Anyone else use TRIN? If so, how? My tips: + If TRIN is close to 1.0, I minimize trading because breakeven/flat market bias + When TRIN < 0.7...

Right, I'm sure I'll have some next week. True re learning more from stops. Will post notes, thx
