Yes I'm long only. In a down market I trade the inverse ETFs. And yes my edge is definable. Somewhere I read if you can't define your edge you don't have one. That statement encourage me to rethink what my edge actually is.

Well tell us the exit strategy you use now and maybe we can refine it for you.

It's a status thing. You never know if someone is an astute money manager or is just very good a juggling credit. Look at the vendors who pose in Lamborghinis. I look at who is flying at the front of the plane. The guys who spend their own money to upgrade to first class are probably well off...

The trader who called wolf. Sooner or later you'll be right and feel free to say I told you so.(grin)

I'll short when Ken gives up on the inverse's :D:D

Could mean you are well off and live within your means or just surviving and deep in debt. An income of 100K a year is middle class, not rich.

Sounds like we have 2 completely different trading styles. I rarely look at P&L when I’m trading. I’m not saying your strategy isn’t the best for you only that we are on different pages. Firstly, I swing trade stocks. My time frame is daily with a hold period of days to weeks. If I day-trade...

My trading goal is exactly the same as last year. My goal is to follow my trading plan exactly. I don't set a monetary goal because it is not something I can control. And such a goal would lead to possibly changing the way I trade. Before I enter any trade I know the answers to the following...

I won’t comment on your goals but the first part of your plan is excellent. You have a specific goal and a time frame to complete it in. It is very measurable and at the end of the year you’ll be able to report if you succeeded or not. I assume you have some actionable steps to be able to...

I wonder if the dead investors are able to outperform the market. I suppose buying SPY then dying would be the best plan.

I hope this doesn't promote a rash of suicides.:)

I did watch you free video a while back. What I found was it was so busy that it was hard to keep up with what was going on. I did notice a couple stocks on the watch list either hit their stop or entry criteria and were not acted upon. A window that showed which stocks you were playing would...

What I didn't see and what was recommended last time you inquires about the site was a window showing active trades.

Here is a handy web site for stock splits. Direxion Shares ETF Trust - Daily S&P 500 Bear 3X Shares Stock Split History

Can you explain the difference? What are you selling and to whom?

You mentioned a couple hedge funds. And of course cash. And I got the impression that the Roth was a small portion of your net worth.

How does this account perform compared to your other accounts?

We don't have a Roth in Canada but it looks a lot like our Tax Free Saving Account. Limited amount you can invest each year, no tax deduction when you contribute, but no tax on withdrawal. The supposed downside is you can't write off your losses. Ideal trading vehicle as all gains are tax free...

Do you define your risk? That is do you have an exit strategy for the times you are wrong?

I'm curious as to why you would keep a core position at all times. I also consider myself very risk adverse. My strategy is to be out of the market when it doesn't act like I expect it to. I wouldn't call it market timing, rather capital preservation. It is basically trend following with a...
