There are definitely differences in the markets today compered to the 90's. In the post 2005 algo/HFT era, price action has changed. Stanley Druckenmiller is considered to have the best multi-decade hedge fund performance, he shares his insights/observations on how price action.T.A. have...

This ET forum seems like a good place to do what you have in mind - I would be suspicious of someone looking to corral newer traders to them. ET gives you the aggregate of hundreds years of trading experiences, with plenty of old timers in the mix. I see your a Quant living in HK. Many on...

Consistency in your equity curve pointing upward has everything to do with the trader, and little to do with the particular strategy being used. A trader is wise to focus only on things they control, like their own consistency in following the processes of their trading plan. All trading...

"it was a lot easier back than, anyone could have made a killing - it was so easy". Yea right, as if there was no competition. The bar was a lot higher to get into commodity trading, trading costs were far higher, and the risks were greater. In the future, younger people will say the same to...

Attention to profit is a sign of trading immaturity, while attention to loss is a sign of trading experience. Alan Farley

These are my favorites, been using classic T.A. since the mid 90's. You can find the free PDFs for all of them except Schabacker. Richard Wycoff technique (this link is all you need) https://stockcharts.com/school/doku.php?id=chart_school:market_analysis:the_wyckoff_method These are a bit...

How does one build an educational trading business With a bit of video editing any scammer can make themselves look like they are living the dream. This video is a perfect example on just how easy it is. The more naive/gullible aspiring traders are seduced by the bling when they should be...

Youtube - where else can you learn things like how to get rid of cancer with household products or how to get rich trading from self proclaimed gurus, never mind they can't furnish an audit (broker records + filed tax return) for even a single year.

Intraday or long term C - both intraday & longer term (days to months). Many of the best performing traders & hedge funds will trade both shorter & longer time frames - this helps to smooth out the equity curve by diversification on the holding time frames. This allows you to capture...

As long as the market don't go flat & stay that way for years than there is nothing to worry about. If you take a intra-day chart of Amazon or any other stock or commodity, intra-day ranges are no different than they were back in the 90's before the PHD's invaded. Trading costs have gone...

Well stated, I thought the same thing when I read the article. Clearly propaganda from the only ally the U.S. still has left that will blind follow our every move. Besides, universities are a low value target for sophisticated hackers. This notion of grooming students by leveraging their...

IT secutity 101 - Use Geo-IP filtering in your firewall - the fist thing you block is China.

The most oppressive nations through history have the highest percentage of the population in prison. 2015 hit a record for the largest number of prisoners fully exonerated, a lot of innocent people get locked up in the U.S..

They say that China is the new America. America has a higher percentage of it's people in prison than any other nation on the planet, it used to be China & Russia. Seems like America with all this recent rhetoric is acting a lot like the old China. Trump has either lied or told something that...

What is really impressive about Marty Schwartz is his longevity & the way he has adapted. He made a fortune as a floor trader on the SP, in his 70's he reported his largest winning year by far trading options. My favorite is Jim Rogers because he made his fortune while he was still somewhat...

PDT is 4 round trips within 5 business days. I see this often, people that think PDT is 3 round trips, it used to be back in the day. FINRA rules define a “pattern day trader” as any customer who executes four or more “day trades” within five business days...

Having a lot of $ will not make you happy, at best it will give you better resources to optimize your lifestyle. If your not currently following your passions - or don't have any to begin with, than thinking having a lot of $ will change that is just an illusion. Wise people are well aware...

Lopez nailed it - very intelligent. Took Trump to school like other leaders have on common decency 101 & the principals of the United States. Trump is a real slow learner - he still only salutes only dictators like Kim Jong Un - freakin moron! Trump always sounds like an illiterate, angry...

Trump just put another tax on the U.S. consumers & businesses who pay the brunt of this. Trump speaks or tweets with his 8th grade level English, & 'Homer Simpson' like ignorance is going to end very badly for us. The last time the U.S. put on trade wars like this it was catastrophic, it gave...

The US dollar is protected by the central banks, they are not going to let it take a 20% dive in one day.
