    Execution speed Limit order vs. market order

    Ridiculous notion. If your anticipated success is dependent upon the speed of your "fill" (assuming trading liquid-enough issues), you're "fishin' in a dry hole". And if you're trading thin issues, you really have no logical choice other than limit orders... so "other" doesn't matter.

    This is the reason why the stock futures are going up?

    I think that's kind of like Pandora's Box... once you get away with deploying a nuke (even a small one), the door is open to others.

    This is the reason why the stock futures are going up?

    Yes, interesting but dangerous. Russia basically said, "We'll do what we want, and if you get in our way you will suffer nuclear retaliation". Maybe that threat is a bluff. Who dares risk calling it? (China could play that same card if it wants...) What does that portend for the future of...

    Not a good strategy either.

    "Highly leveraged"... risky as it is... is ONLY for the most experienced and disciplined. (Even then some blow up famously). With high leverage, you may not get even ONE "second chance"... once your capital is gone, YOU'RE GONE!) There are 2 kinds of capital... one is financial, the other is...

    I hate this situation

    If you don't mind, let me "up" the knowledge level a bit. If you think you want to "fundamentally understand" a trade, you're already lagging behind. (If you're looking for fundamental understanding/confirmation, the market is already waaaaaay ahead of you... and the good entry price is well...

    Oh man, that's just sooooo much common sense... 100% logical and strategic. Who among Eters gonna adopt that? :)

    I hate this situation

    The sign of a good trader is (1) "make as many good trades as you can find"...of course that presumes you know what a good trade is... while (2) protecting capital at all times.

    I hate this situation

    Yes, sarcasm. I don't have any "thing that I get". I just play for what I can... that and to protect capital at all times.

    100%... that's all?

    I hate this situation

    You speak of "50:1" leverage like it's "normal". I've been trading a long time and I've rarely had my leverage at 2:1... and I'm still here. However "pairs" are a bit different in that they bet differential. Then again... BOTH sides can go against you at once, as you well know.

    I hate this situation

    1. Forget fundamentals 2. Learn Technical Analysis so that you know where the best risk:reward plays are 3. Avoid leverage until you're well experienced 4. Trade with stops. If you can't exercise mental stop, place a hard one when you place your trade.

    Conditions for Peace

    Could be that the Russia-Ukraine war is actually a false flag... to distract attention from and to cover up world-wide Covid vaccine lies and crimes...??

    is now the time to buy Russia ETFs? They're down like 98%

    Concept... If you can buy something SUPER CHEAP... like Russian ETFs @ 98% discount... it's like "buying an option with no expiration date". Either things eventually get better... no time limit... and the issue rebounds, or it goes to zero. But you're not risking all that much on the play...

    Conditions for Peace

    Are you F'n NUTS? "Terms for surrender" out of the question? Who's in the wrong here? Just as America didn't want Russian missiles on Cuba, Putin doesn't want the possibility of NATO missiles on neighboring Ukraine. Not all that different from "America-California". America had to take...

    Putin's Mandates To Stop War...

    1. Ukraine acknowledge that Crimea belongs to Russia 2. Ukraine recognize Donetsk and Lugansk as independent states 3. Ukraine rewrite its constitution and require that Ukraine is never allowed to join any "bloc"... Hard to imagine that means other than NATO at this time. So... does (1)...

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

    There are sooooo many people with blood on their hands over all this. It's hard to accept wide spread evil to such an extent exists. I saw a video this weekend where Dr. Ben Marble said that his group of doctors at My Free Doctor.com... have treated 180,000 people with early protocols... and...

    Trading Plan

    That's the best question anyone could ask.... not only for noobs but for the more experienced. The answer is basic technical analysis... Buy Support Sell Resistance Chase Breakouts Trade with Stops I recommend a subset of TA which I call "Price TA". The reason I call it "Price" is to exclude...
