That's a bear bias. Don't you teach to trade what the market gives you not what you think the market should give you?

I've been following your posts to see if I can learn something. (for free of course :sneaky:) My take is you have a bear bias and that's what you are trading. The question you have to ask yourself is why you are over trading? My guess is you have to trade to keep clients happy. PS I'm not...

Probably needs a different thread but does anyone actually have a broker these days. I'm an old fart and have been with an online discount broker for at least 20 years.

I used to have hard stops in the market bur got slapped pretty hard with the flash crash a while back. since then I have alerts that let me know if a stock is nearing a stop target. As a swing trader I usually wait until the next morning to act on a stop and may continue to hold or place a hard...

Can someone explain in terms that an elementary student can understand what "Risk Adjusted" means. I have outperformed the S&P for a number of years with a market timing strategy. How do I adjust my returns for risk?

Well said.:thumbsup:

I trade stocks and nothing else because in my opinion it is simple, relatively speaking. However, my trading is unconventional because I don't get involved with mainstream stupid Fundamentals. IMO, relying on fundamentals is the undoing of the majority. A slight difference of opinion yet we...

When I think of all I have that money can't buy, I consider myself very rich.

If 90% of traders fail,(Seems to be a common number thrown around) then 20% year over year seems remarkable. If you getting a 20% return on your capital you only need 500K to make 100K a year.

Not really. I can't afford to lose my trading capital. I usually risk less than 1% of that capital on any one trade. I don't see a scenario where I would lose all my capital. the optimum capital for day trading depends on what you expect your results to be, how much risk you are willing to...

I suggest you trade the size you can afford.

I'd like to see all the trades they made. It's fairly easy to cherry pick the winners. I'd also like to see the results of trades that are posted. When you see posts like it would be nice to know how the trades worked out. Any possibility you could give entry and exit prices?

If that's the case then you don't have an edge. If it does work with a more involved trade management plan then that is your edge. I swing trade stocks with a walk away strategy. Set it and forget it. I either hit my profit target or my stop. 1 to 2.5 risk to reward and 37% win rate nets me a...

Are you complaining about the set-ups or the educators. Set-ups are easy to teach. If/Then scenario; If the instrument you are trading does this; you enter. Exits are a little more difficult; too many alternatives depending on what you are attempting to accomplish. Can you give a specific...

Don't do anything with your capital until you have developed a solid strategy and tested it on a demo platform. If you cannot be profitable on demo you don't stand a chance in real time. Take what you read on these forums with a grain of salt. If you find a strategy that you think will fit...

I retired with what I thought was a pretty good nest egg. The tech wreck reduced it by 50%. I started trading as an alternative to buy and hold. Liked the capital protection that trading provided. I do well enough. Consistent returns that beat the indexes. I've never blown up an account and...

What do you want to trade and Why?

It would be interesting to know how these trades worked out? Why not share the price of the entry and exits.

My charts show a close of $352 Where are you in?
