    Diversification good or bad?

    I believe you are talking about taking what the market gives you. To me that is not diversification, that's common sense. When I think of diversification I'm thinking of owning or holding many stocks in a portfolio or having a variety of asset classes that hedge each other. I trade stocks...

    Here is my latest article on placing a stop. Hope it helps.

    My plan has alerts then a hard stop. If a stock (what I trade) trades below a certain level and closes below that level I set a hard stop below the low of that time frame. Too many times I have seen a position hit my alert level then recover. I risk a little more with a free fall but over time...

    Diversification good or bad?

    The Key to what? Diversification levels out the volatility of your investment portfolio. One asset class does well, another does poorly, the value of your portfolio doesn't have wide swings. But are you getting the best return on your capital? We are traders. Take what you can out of the...

    since we know that all trading courses are bullshit, what would you actually look for in one?

    You teach a method. In order to get your money back you would have to prove the method didn't work. How many passive and nonchalant clients will take the time and effort to document their trades, showing that they followed the method as taught and still lost money.

    Really Ken? Are you not stretching the truth a bit. I just checked YouTube and your latest video has been up for 23 hrs and has 12 views. Humbled trader on the other hand posted a video a day ago and has 27,000 views and Warrior trader is streaming and has 12,000 views.

    Gotta be one of those rules that works 100% of the time except when it doesn't.

    There in lies the problem. If it is a viable strategy it should work for everyone. If it doesn't work for you it is very probable that you are the problem, not the strategy. It is said that you have to find a strategy that you are comfortable with, that fits your personality. But is it...

    since we know that all trading courses are bullshit, what would you actually look for in one?

    Fair enough. But I buy movies for entertainment not education. You should consider a MBG for your courses. Might increase sales. How many failed traders have the discipline to follow the course material exactly? Most wouldn't want to do the work involved in documenting the trades and why they...

    Any chance of a money back guarantee? If not, why not?

    Someone taught the bot. That's my point. Trading can be taught but human emotions get in the way of trading success.

    I only mentioned bots because you follow a room with bots that make you money.

    If you can code a bot to trade you should be able to show people with reasonable intelligence and discipline how to trade.

    I just said what I would look for in one; I don't expect to find one.:) With someone teaching a skill you would think they could demonstrate that skill.

    I'd like to see a money back guarantee. That said the student would have to show a documented trade record where they followed every thing taught in the course.
