I would second this. I have a partner who is not even really a trader, but more a business manager type. Trading, imo, can benefit from a team so long as it is not an analysis quagmire. I would suggest the Options route, and doing the sell-buy "some" method of profit taking. The "some"...

It depends on the type of trade. Allocation management is a key piece also. But the simple answer is buy high, sell higher; sell Low, buy lower.

100% gain? so down 50% is 2:1. So that is in the plan right? If so you should be done. As you said guessing was what you did. Guessing and high leverage rarely works out in the long run. Get a hedge plan and get more sophisticated like Handle123 says. One of the problem with retails is...

Lots of MoMo trades in the commodities. (Smallfil) Here was a reasonable place to cover some of the short futures and covert to options. (Handle123) NOT calling any bottoms, just trading what the market is giving. The post was NOT about being monolithic in calling bottoms, or waiting for the...

Just as we peaked for several months and started selling "some" portions of swing trades until mostly out, starting to pick up the best names now. Not going crazy just getting "some". Those with the best displacements come first. Will continue as the market gives. What struck me was the low...

If you are just doing chart-manual trading, then the low end GPU is slight overkill. A built in GPU from a new chip will be plenty. So for that machine you are spending on a dedicated GPU you don't need. Also plenty or too much RAM and certainly not enough SSD. SSD should be 512 or 256 Gb...

Other thing to keep in mind it is not the just the lows of the "base" that defines it, it is mostly, imo, the peaks that define the bases. I.e. you can find a lot of patterns that look identical to the basing bars but are not as significant because the peaks are not as well defined. This...

It is all the orders que'ed up before the open and all the MOO or LOO orders. Ignore those.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-19/jpmorgan-quant-says-fastest-trend-followers-are-set-for-comeback. Does your trading work like this? Here are some "Causes" of patterns.

You are wanting a generalized causal relationship. Even if one is offered, it is not action-able-tradable with enough reliability. Asking for specific situations might allow you to get an idea of the forces at work, but it is not the same as predictable, generalized, action-able information...

Buy high, sell higher. Sell low, buy lower. You are doing the "Buy low , Sell high" mentality, to the point of failure. Likewise, STOP mixing up your time frames. There is the time frame of the trade and the time frame of the entry and exit. There is a difference between a trend and a...

You should have a method that determines your stops dynamically. Things change as trades progresses. Just like determining a "setup" for an entry, a Stop and Exit should also have "setups".

I think your assumption is based on a "flat earth" concept of what is a trade. Sort of thinking that trading is based on filling a ticket, ala, circa 1950, and then it being filled and then exiting. An Algo does not see trades that way. The only thing preventing you from trading multiple...

FWIW: This might be pretty cool for a separate DOM screen. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/02/ultra-tall-portable-monitor-is-a-516-portal-to-perpetual-newsfeeds/

Had a friend complain about her Wifi and upon checking it had two things wrong: 1) had never changed the default channel and it was so packed, it was colliding 2) It was one of the older models that can only transmit to one device at a time. She had 8 devices in the house. Everyone needs to...
