We just went through a period of low interest rates. Housing prices were in bubble territory. People could afford to get a mortgage so bid the prices up. Lots of stories of bidding wars in desirable area. Higher interest rates means you have to drop the price of your house if you want to sell...

A quick look at the QQQ's shows a gain so far this year of over 40%. What's the gain on your trading account? (Chuckle) Mine aint close to that. LOL might have to switch to buy and hold :)

What are your transaction costs with QQQ? If you are trading with a zero commission broker you can increase your leverage with TQQQ & SQQQ. This also allows you to go short without borrowing shares. Why day trading? Why not longer term?

You got it!!!

Where do you think Robert F. stands on regulating BTC? He seems to be in favor of having Government control the banks.

Define success!!

What risks do traders face. Have a discussion of all the risks that a trader might come across. What risks does the trader have any control over. What methods can the trader use to control thoses risk.

But Maybe you could post one tomorrow, with a time stamp, that shows a breakout and tell me whether it will be a false breakout or a successful breakout. I can look at a chart and tell you what happened but I have to make my trading decisions on the right hand side of the chart.

That's not a bad idea. It forces you to have a plan so that the employee knows when to slap you. Maybe you could find someone who doesn't like you who will do it for free. :)

Could you show us one in real time?

You had a plan going into the trade. Follow it!!!

Just look at the performance of the 3 stocks you have mentioned over the last 5 years, 3 years and 1 year. Which stock would you rather be invested in?

Hey There SML Sounds like your kicking ass these days. :fistbump: What happened to your disclaimer?

I think that when you are discussing trading it would be quite common to ask what kind of returns other traders are experiencing. It doesn't have to be in dollar terms you can answer in percentage terms. I wouldn't be too upset if someone asked if the returns were actual dollars of demo...

How are you going to judge if you are successful. You need some kind of benchmark to compare yourself to. A simple buy and hold of the market using SPY will tell you if you would have been better off investing long term. Mind you if you are trading for excitement or entertainment then it's a...

That's correct. I swing/position trade stocks. I hold from days to months if the position continues in my favor. I never get out at the high and usually leave some money on the table. Every so often I'll sell into strength if there is a parabolic move but rarely the whole position. I make the...

I have both!! My strategy is to buy stocks that are rising in price and hold them until they stop rising in price. I have no idea when or where they will stop rising in price so I wait until the trend changes then sell. I cut losses quickly.

Doesn't that take "let your winners run" out of the equation?

I use the credit card for the insurance, extra warrantee, cash back and keeping track of expences. I suppose I could use my debit card as there is no fee with my banking package but I would give up the other perks.

I pay for everything with a credit card. I pay the balance every month. I haven't paid interest in years. My card has no annual fees, 2% cash back, doubles the warrantee (up to a year) on purchases, protection against fraud and theft, additional car rental and health insurance and I get a record...
