    Finding an Edge

    Always insightful and I always believed risk management should be job no. 1. How you win or lose on any trade matters more than people realize.

    Boycott NIKE!

    Yeah, but, who actually has monies to spend on NIKE products and how many blacks vs whites are part of the consumer universe? I think more people are ticked off but, the effects of boycotts will take awhile! Still, if enough consumers stay away and buy other similar products, it has damage the...

    See if these guys actually, used their time to learn to trade, they would be making monies! Instead, they are left to bash others because of their envy and arrogance! They are too damn stupid for their own good!

    Boycott NIKE!

    Already boycotting NIKE since, they are one of the biggest sponsors of the NFL! No reason to buy their products as there are other better choices. Will never support these Anti-American businesses doing business in the US! They can all go bankrupt and will not be missed!

    A national disgrace

    Reverend Williams spoke the truth which is why we had so many bruised egos of blacks still living in the liberal plantation! This is a long time coming to the BS being called out! Well done Reverend Williams. Aretha Franklin is an icon in the music world. Her death would have been an opportunity...

    MAGA: Wages were supposed to rise after Trump's tax cuts. Instead, they’ve fallen

    When we have the highest employment rates and there is demand for employees services compared to those applying for jobs, how can wages be lower? These liberals have clearly, flunked all their economic classes! When there is demand for workers, the wages go up not down! Now, where the wages will...

    My trades

    Nice trade. That is what I have to learn to do more. Hang on longer for those huge returns. I tend to sell way too soon.

    My trades

    There is a wealth of information here. I have no doubt, if I changed my approach to exits and hang on a bit more, that would boost my results by a huge amount. We cannot stop learning and trying to be better traders. It only benefits us!

    My trades

    If you know how to trade and actually, trade the stockmarket, BS only goes so far! Not all the trolls and their BS is going to make sense. This thread has been pretty transparent and as you noted match with the stockcharts if you only check. Problem with the trolls, charlatans is they have no...

    My trades

    I did not follow his trades but, followed the thread. My method is different than his. The value of this thread for me is looking at areas in my trading I can improve on. His only call I took because I liked the chart was the JPM calls but, the call strike was different. He had the $115.00 Call...

    My trades

    You only can get fooled if you do not actually trade the stockmarket. I trade options directionally, and I do not know where the mentorship you are talking about. Do not need to be mentored by anyone and while, my method is different from options investor, there are similarities to some parts of...

    My trades

    I have been following his trades too and also, trade options directionally. Have learned some things from this thread as well. This is just one of the better threads out there. It seems some people just cannot get rid of their jealousy. That is what this is about. Losers trying to drag others...

    My trades

    Got into the short side on FB when I sold my call options. So, I have FB puts now in play. My NVDA calls did well today going higher. RUN put options flat but, still holding to try and minimize losses before I close it out. AEO still down on it with the gap down but, narrowed the loss. That is a...

    How will you react when Trump/GOP scraps the investigation?

    None of the election machines was ever connected to the internet so, how can the elections be hacked? Now, as the DNC server being hacked, no less than Willam Binney, top analyst and head at the NSC debunked the hacking claim. He said that Guccifer Files 2.0 that was the basis of the indictment...

    Why Traders Lose

    Why reinvent the wheel? So what if a chart pattern wins only 50%? That is enough. I win 40% of my trades and it is enough to give me an edge. If you manage your losses and keep it small, it won't matter. One trade is just one small trade in a sea of hundreds of trades. Of course, everyone wants...

    Why Traders Lose

    Bulkowski did an extensive research on chart patterns and there is a failure rate. Chart patterns do not work 100%. So, if they do not work 100%, what is one to do? You will have losing trades and how you manage those trades (risk management) will determine whether you have large losses or small...

    Why Traders Lose

    For sure she ignored the trading plan and its important parts but, the risk management part is what did her in. If she kept her losses in check, she would have saved probably, $900,000 of that $1,000,000. That is like heaven and hell. Losing $100,000 is still painful but, nowhere painful as...
