    tips for become a good trader?

    Be rules-based. For example I add to winning swingtrades that close at 2-day highs and scale out at 2day lows. I avoid trading inside days, eg if chart is inside prior day's range.

    Technical Question about Candlestick Bar ?

    it's a function of the time frame that the candle is calculated on. I find that using shorter time interval candles such as 1 minute for daytrading is a great approach.

    Post your SPX 2020 predictions

    I was stubbornly thinking markets would sell back down at some point due to the pandemic. Lost thousands trying to bottomfish inverses. Frustrating. At least I did do some long swings like AAPL recently, and MGM off March lows. I still have a hard time reconciling why markets continue...
