    Mark Minervini's Trend Template Question

    Simple technical distillation... The issue is above some moving average which is in an upslope*. Give the BOD (Benefit Of The Doubt) to the upside for now. * Classically, the issue is above the 50 MA and the 200 MA.. and both MAs are in an upslope.

    You guys REALLY need to be more analytical like me...

    Perhaps the "real" solution is to get LESS analytical...as I would advocate. KISS, baby. As always. Years ago I read some sage wisdom about some old-timer who recommended.... "Simplify your method as much as possible. When you've done that, simplify again!" Sometimes the most...

    TVs As Monitor Won't Run @ 60 Hz

    Correction... "50 inch 4k TV", not monitor.

    Ditto. Years ago it wasn't that way.

    TVs As Monitor Won't Run @ 60 Hz

    I doubt there is significant distinction between 4k monitor and 4k TV in display quality. My 43" Samsung "TV as monitor" has sharp, clear graphics and text...and vibrant colors.

    TVs As Monitor Won't Run @ 60 Hz

    There are 4k, 43" TV monitors one can use for computer display... for $239 and up. Perhaps that's good enough reason to go that route rather than $600 for 43" monitor... I even recently saw a 50" 4k monitor for $200!

    TVs As Monitor Won't Run @ 60 Hz

    My guess... When HDR was new for Samsung TVs it was enabled by default but there was a selection to disable. In later TVs I guess Samsung thought HDR was so great that everyone would want it all the time... so they made it automatic with no way to turn it off. I notice now through Windows...

    TVs As Monitor Won't Run @ 60 Hz

    My 55" LG 6540 does run 4K @ 60Hz, but the Samsung 43" would only run 30Hz. I said "would" because that has changed so that the Samsung now runs @ 60hz also. The way W10 displays the "Display" page has also changed, so I suspect some W10 update is responsible for it. FWIW...

    Every professional trader said market had changed dramatically over the years

    Years back the market was dominated by individual investors. Over time the "lead" faction has changed to institutional of one stripe or another... and now by algos, HFT, and Fed Intervention. What has NOT changed... are the principles of Price TA. (Principles still the same though velocity...

    Unemployed vs. Home Trader

    Actually, it IS "IB's business". They are required by regulation to "know your customer".

    Donnie calls bitcoin a scam

    Admitted nocoiner here... I dunno about it being a scam... but you gotta think.... digital coins are "worth" (??) what they are simply because some people believe in the notion that a unique string of numbers (block chain) has value... even VERY high value? (Saw a post about a guy who invested...

    Can the U.S. declare bankruptcy?

    No need to declare bankruptcy. Just have the government deficit spend and the Fed print money until the (former) 100 cents $USD is worth only 10 cents... and pay everyone with the "10 cent dollars". Of course (1) lenders will scream "your pay back dollars are worth only a dime"... upon which...

    Whats the difference between "fill outside RTH" and "allow preopen"

    Perhaps the phrasing should be "pre-open only"??... though hard to imagine the strategy for that.

    Question about the term common stock

    There are "Authorized Shares" and "Issued Shares"... the float is part of the issued shares. You may not have enough info to tell for sure which is mentioned in the report. As a trader neither Authorized nor Issued will affect you... but you might be interested in knowing the "handle" (recent...

    Why was AMC the one to do the big move?

    Something like that. You could have a much larger profit potential with buying more OTM calls. The farther they are out of the money, the cheaper they are. Of course the stock would have to make a bigger move to go ITM.... but that's the game you play when buying options... you're always...

    Why was AMC the one to do the big move?

    The risk isn't the same. If you buy the stock and they don't pile in, your position might decline more than what you paid for in call premium. You'd be hoping the stock goes up a ton. Had you leveraged up in low-price calls, you'd make a ton.
