    Why does Volume matter? Isn't non-involvement from institutional buyers itself a signal?

    "...Conventional trading “wisdom” for volume indicators Volume measures how many shares were traded in a specified period of time (e.g. 1 day, 1 hour, 30 minutes). It is frequently used as a confirmation indicator in conjunction with other technical indicators. Conventional trading wisdom...

    Magna doesn't like it when I post what I really want to say to stupids like you (except in the "gloves are off" Political thread).... so I'm just putting you ON IGNORE!!

    Fed "Put" replaced by "Kudlow Put"?

    With the Fed (Powell) talking about "raising rates 3 or 4 times this year"... the the "Fed Put" is apparently on hold for now. However... we now have Larry Kudlow, apparently Trump's "good cop", jaw-boning/flapping his gums almost daily... and each time he spews the markets bounce.

    What metrics do you use to measure trading success?

    Only 1. "When you quit and you have a big bag of the market's money." Until then, it's like a poker game. ("You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table... there'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done" -- Kenny Rogers)

    A Third of Americans Would Forfeit Their Voting Rights For a 10% Pay Raise, Says Study

    No surprise here. Libs/Millennials are willing to give up ALL of their freedoms and become slaves if only they can get free college and free healthcare. "Free" has never been so expensive. Unfortunately, America is far along the trail of becomming Full Communist, Marxist, Facist, Nazi...

    Big drop overnight

    Could be a bullish indication. While the markets reacted to the news, they declined "less than might have been expected". Need to see market's response during US session, though.

    Prediction until Trump folds and "renegotiates" China?

    However bad you perceive Trump, Hellary would have been 10X worse. She's already revealed how she planned to RUIN America and drive the last nail into our coffin as a free country. At a minimum, Trump represents a "time out" in her and the Globalists' juggernaut to destroy us. exGOPer and...

    10,000 hours to learn trading - Who wrote this rule?

    10,000 hours to learn trading - Who wrote this rule?

    You apparently didn't notice I said "proper trading"... which always has and always will work... across all markets. If what was "taught" stops working, it wasn't proper trading to begin with. You're correct about becoming an expert trader taking years of experience. Need not be that way...

    10,000 hours to learn trading - Who wrote this rule?

    It may take "10,000 hours" for some physical talent that requires training.... like playing the violin... but trading requires no such physical skill. The problem with learning to trade is that you don't know what is "correct", so you fumble your way around for a long time eliminating one...

    America Doesn't Need A Wall On The Southern Border... we need a "policy" and a "will"

    1. Man the southern border with enough military to stop illegals. 2. When an illegal is caught, return him across the border with the warning, "dire consequences if you try to come back illegally". (That's more consideration than N. Korea would give invaders.) 3. On second offense, a...

    Most recommended book on candlestick charts?

    I bought Nison's book years ago. Let me save you some trouble. 1. Candle patterns are most reliable on daily charts. The shorter the time frame, the less reliable they are. 2. Patterns are useful only at potential big highs, potential big lows, trading range extremes.... and only the...

    How are you traders competing with (and beating) the algos, HFTs, etc.?

    Yeah, well... we'll work on yours. (And I do think we're making a bit of progress with you. After all you occasionally try to crack a joke, given a bit of time to think about it.) :)
