    Trading for big returns

    You have traded ONLY when the market "had the wind at its back"... when the Fed was pumping money into the system and artificially suppressing interest rates. You only think "you got it"... but you won't know until you've traded through a genuine bear market and are still standing. Bull...

    "Ivermectin Is A Wonder Drug"... Dr. Pierre Kory

    Perhaps you should stop with the blockheadesness. Ivermectin isn't specifically an "anti-parasitic"... it ALSO has anti-viral properties.... as has been illustrated HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS/MILLIONS OF TIMES!

    5 Things I have learned in 5 years of trading!

    I never meant to infer that Price TA "works 100%, every trade". However the strategy works with the same "high percentage probability with very favorable R:R on all trades"... all time frames, all markets.

    This chart could be either or...

    I read all the posts in this thread with chuckles. Here's the real skinny... 1. As to "double top or double bottom"... It may be semantics but I'd call these "matched high and matched low"... as the notion of "double" infers that they be closer together. In either case, they mean the same...

    5 minute setups - do they perform on 60m charts and onward to Daily, Weekly and Monthly charts?

    A message in this... that is, "All you need for the market to knock you on your ass is to keep doing what worked before". What?? That is, the market has "moods", and they change. To succeed, you need to be able to tune-in to changes and adapt your behavior. If you know Price TA, you can see...

    That's all Price TA. You shouldn't have your money at risk until you know.

    5 minute setups - do they perform on 60m charts and onward to Daily, Weekly and Monthly charts?

    A trader should find those, engrave them in stone, and place them on his desk!

    Position Trading

    That's a major negative against the "long term" prospective.

    Position Trading

    It's all the same... except for "degree". A day trader is not willing to tolerate much of a move against his position before stopping out. A swing/position trader will tolerate "more" of a move against him... but how much? A long term investor will tolerate the largest move against him. Pros...

    Easymoney1 is a bit of a muse. He asks me questions, and I answer. Then later on he once again questions, "is that really right"? :)

    Biden And The 25th Amendment

    Not sure of that... "... But it's not true that the speaker of the House — or any other predetermined individual — automatically becomes vice president. Upon becoming president, the former vice president would choose another individual to become his or her vice president. "Whenever there is a...

    5 minute setups - do they perform on 60m charts and onward to Daily, Weekly and Monthly charts?

    Bottom Line... "Price TA works the same in all time frames and in ALL MARKETS!" The longer the time frame of the bar, the more of the "action" is masked... but it's all there. KISS, baby! :)

    Biden And The 25th Amendment

    In spite of Biden's apparent cognitive decline, the 25th won't be invoked because Harris would become president and the Dems would lose their tie-breaking vote in the senate. If Congress loses the senate in November, look for the 25th to be invoked then if at all, IMV.

    The academy thought about having another Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction", but ultimately settled on this.

    End Of Quarter 1 2022

    Come Apr 15-ish, Bulls' market confidence might get shaken. Projections are for... 1. Stagnating economy 2. Earnings disappointment/adjustment downward 3. Forward guidance on earnings scaled back 4. Inflation 5. Rate hikes We'll see if the bulls can keep buying "zombie-like" into that storm.

    Sierra Chart Users? If you don't use Teton, how do you feel about 38% price rise?

    I checked out Quantower at AMP this weekend. (My concerns are mostly limited to charts and DOM trading.... didn't check out other functions.) Quantower seems like it would be OK.. no functional drawbacks... but I like Sierra Chart better... for "how it operates". 1. Quantower says, "W10 or...

    Battle of the 49's Dell U4919DW vs. Samsung CRG9?

    I never cared for monitor stands/stacks. For charts I have 3x 27" UHD monitor array in portrait mode standing side-by-side on a 30x72 table. As to "single giant monitor"... I'm assuming you mean, "TV as monitor". If so you'd get only 3840x2160 resolution regardless of the TV's size. That...

    KGTrader4 Paper Trading Journal - My Training Wheels

    The money is of secondary importance. What you REALLY need... is to "learn to trade well". Once you get a handle on that, you can trade bigger and bigger. Sky's the limit... but ONLY if you trade well.

    trades

    To do that constructively, you need to be making trades at/near chart support/resistance. IOW... you need to be using "Price TA" to determine the best trades to take. Keep it up! You're on the right track.
