Could do it now, you know, "with what you know about TA". If you can earn 2 points/day on 20-lots in the ES... that's $500k/year. Scale up from there.

Sorry, I didn't catch the link. Thought you were talking about yourself. My fault.

I get that. I was just asking, "which were you"? Can't imagine many ETers think of "trading" as merely executing the orders from customers. No stress nor profit potential in that.

What is that, exactly? Your job is to execute trades for others... that's what makes you a "trader"?? Or did your livelihood (with either your capital or others') depend upon making "profitable market decisions while protecting capital"?

O Or... you could learn "Price TA".

In the end we are talking about the same thing "devaluation" => "revaluation"... but that was only a footnote to my original post.... which was about "Turkey having a long history of inflating their currency into near oblivion and destroying the buying power of its people". In their last great...

1. Volatility has returned. That's good. More chance to make nice gains when traded well. 2. Markets are very "jumpy". Any news or jaw-boning on various topics gets a knee-jerk response in the markets, up or down.... some of which are big. 3. Frankly, I don't see how anyone can trade...

You got it wrong, buckeroo. A 1:10 stock split preserves the buying power. In Turkey, it got so bad that a cup of coffee cost 3 million Lira. After the "revaluation" of 1:1 Million, a cup of coffee cost 3 Lira. The revaluation is just arithmetic. It was the devaluation via inflation that...

Say that fast 5 times.

Backed by gold (or anything)? The entire notion of crypto is "money backed by nothing"... with the expectation/belief that a greater fool will pay more for it than you did. (So far, that's sort-of-working. Yet to be determined in the longer run.) A "supposed crypto" with any backing at all...

Turkey has a long history of being a "serial devaluer" of their currency. Caution to anyone who cares to bet otherwise. Last BIG one was a "1-for-1,000,000" job. ~2005, if I recall. IOW... the government "lopped 6-zeroes off of the old currency to make the new". (Same game America is...

ATR and MACD.... poor tools for trading. It's "chop" when the amplitude is too small and the frequency of direction change is too great so that you feel you can't trade it. In that case, "buy bottom the range, sell the top of the range"....presume all in between is untradable noise to be...

Ditto!

Hey, why not. Find a way to keep issuing sub-prime loans.... above market rates + origination fees. Then, when it all goes tits-up, tax-payer bails you out. 'Merica. What a country!

Hey, it's America. You're entitled to believe anything you want. (Well, used to be.) Years ago I "considered volume". Then one day it dawned upon me that there no longer was (and perhaps never was) a correlation to price. And if that was the case, then I was harming my results and wasting...

Important highs and lows are made on high volume or low volume... neither definitive about future price movement and therefore irrelevant. The is one "volume correlation" that seems to hold up. For an individual issue, there tends to be a HUGE volume spike when the price is down ~90% from its...

Could also be... that there was more in the time charts to see that you didn't or didn't understand its significance... and that's the actual differential. Not saying it "is", just that it might.

Sounds like you're a "volume devotee". Plenty of info which suggest you should not be.

*Does not apply if you use volume as a surrogate for time.... as in "volume bars" or "constant volume bars"... that's entirely different. I included the above primarily for you. :) Not to pick nits.... but I'm skeptical. a. You plot "#of contracts" to make a bar along the time axis... which...

With Xi's speech, looks like Kudlow can take a night off from flapping his gums.
