Since 2009 all we have had is a massive expansion of debt - when this mega bubble bursts, it's going to be something spectacular! I will go long on every rally like I have been, but you can bet I am all about being an aggressive bear when the turn comes on this insanity at historical extremes.

The bonds trend well, often the swings are 40+ weeks. The last swing low-to-high made on the UB was $52,000 (1 contract). With swing trading you can keep your day job. The opportunity cost of losing income from your profession especially when you have a family has to be factored in. The few...

CIS is an eccentric - a real computer gaming fanatic, for him the market is probably just another computer game except that it pays the bills. https://www.smh.com.au/business/markets/while-markets-panic-this-day-trader-makes-48-million-20150828-gja58s.html

Well he was a pro trader making a very good living at it for over a decade before he put this trade on. There is always a level of luck involved with the big winners. Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. CIS had been watching the bid-ask action on the most active Nikkei...

TA, as taught by the founders, is based on price & volume- not indicators! No trading technique is going to be in sync with the market all the time. You have to be able to observant, adaptable, & a good problem solver. Most traders make a killing in bull markets & lose their ass when the...

I am not the best person to answer this since I don't do major in shorting. Since I have PM with IB I have been using them as me go to for shorting these days. Never noticed a wide disparity between brokers with the borrow rates.

Good question - I have looked far & wide for this, and struck out. Come on software geeks, you could make millions - we need this product! I use multiple brokers for a number of advantages: redundancy, finding shares to short, access to more IPO's, access to more diverse technology & products...

Ray Dalio attributes TM to be at the core of his success, his tactics/principals came from this.

Cohen made most of his money holding positions but yea, he has a big team of traders that trades both intra-day & longer time frames which is typical for many pros in this era. Al Brooks is on record saying he was never profitable in the 10 years he day traded. Not aware of any traders that...

You sure making one hell of an assumption by thinking anyone with a view on the debt bubble would not be in the market - long. People that are students of financial markets through history like Ray Dalio for example, do have a pretty good idea how this ends.

In 5,000 years of human history, were have recently been at an extreme, something that has never happened before with interest rates going to 0 or negative in Europe. The central banks have gone way to far & now they are trapped. We have the weakest 'recovery' in US history - this will not...

Started out swing trading my 401k and a broker acct. while working. Peter Lynch, the guru of that era, recommended buying what you knew about. I worked for an ISP so I traded & invested in the dot com stocks at the right time & made enough to easily justify quitting my job. I was trading for...

The treasuries are as good as it gets for swing trading. I sure am a fan of the Ultra-bond, some of my largest gains have been on this symbol & I trade just about everything. The UBs tick price in relation to it's average price range is on par with the ES, which is a very good thing. The UB...

Fidelity is the only one of the bunch that is not receiving POF, at least that is what they claim. They provide the same DMA they have always offered on their 'Active Trader Pro' with CF. * The do not have DMA to the IEX * The other brokers are either forcing you to use a watered down app with...

That Craigslist trader is a real POS! He suckered clients in using SIM generated performance reports & lost over $550,000. Granted, the clients were foolish - blinded by greed. Your broker is not responsible for protecting you from losses beyond the maint margin - that's on you & it's stated...

The edge lies entirely within the trader - not from the market or past data. I was using back-testing since the mid 90's, I am not biased just experienced. Experience is everything. All the back-testing, high probability, & positive expectancy under the sun means nothing until you have paid...

That book was written in 1968 when the big main-frame computers were being used for the first time ever to look at stock performance. These days you can do more RS studies in 5 minutes than the author Levy could have done in a year back in 1968. The book is extremely outdated know since it has...

Clue #1 - The global stock indexes strengthened up first, well in advance of the U.S. rally, some are making all time highs at a far faster pace than the U.S., acting as the leaders. This validates the U.S. markets march to new highs when the global markets are in sync. Clue #2 - The U.S...
