"In general" you want the position cash value (num of shares times share price) to be proportional to the inverse to volatility, whether that is measured by ATR, STD, or w/e. The devil is in the details I suppose, you could also include forward looking estimates of vol (from options).

LOL yeah it really does. But different tastes over in Asia w.r.t. to what's cool sounding and not.

Depends on your country I suppose. Crisis is certainly exaggerating (by this instant in time) but Sweden is starting to see energy prices in the south of the country that shut down energy intensive industry. Of course we fully bought into the "shut down nuclear and replace by wind" crap, and now...

No point rushing into passive stock market investing now... Returns over next decade may well be negative. Try to get serious conservative advice from your bank for a start, then start educating yourself. As for active investing or trading... let's just say it takes way more than asking this...

Stuff like this is >99.9% waste of time and/or money, good luck finding the golden nugget of someone that doesn't sell overfitted crap (which maybe exists but I wouldn't know). Sorry for dumping my pessimism in this thread but I firmly believe you are better off developing your own skill set...

Options expiry Friday afaik, after that market maker delta hedging activity is going to be wildly different! (It has had dampening/mean reverting effect so far in August).

Well, the only surviving Swedish major car manufacturer is owned by China these days, so... Though they keep around research and production here, for now. TBH they are better owners than Ford that nearly killed the company, probably a case for long term view versus by quarter capitalism. We do...

It's going to be a brave new world on Monday! TBH the anecdotal fact that so many traders seem bearish to me is probably the main reason I'm skeptical we will go down much. :D However, various better conducted surveys are showing sentiment highs.

We Swedes are excellent at being pacifists and selling weapons at the same time, hope the India deal goes through. :D

Growth expectations are getting slashed (among other things delta COVID, China), although we saw forward P/E deflation so far this year it wasn't enough. TBH I'm ready to dip buy anyway but expecting (=hoping) for a larger drop than so far before that. Spooz is barely showing a dent yet. But...

Show me a developed country that has around 350 million people, the sample list will be very short. In fact, if we drop the developed qualifier there is just the US, India, and China with same or bigger populations. In the other end Indonesia and Pakistan, hardly comparable. How sure are you...

Good quote for TL;DR-ers like me on OP. Effing disgraceful behavior described by quoted text, but then again I've come to expect it from the Internet.

You do realize it works just fine in Sweden and several other European countries right? It's far more cost efficient (not to mention equal) than the American healthcare system, the only advantage of which is to subsidize a large portion of the world's pharmaceutical development costs.

"shorts using the same strategy" hope he does small positions...

Depends [on the type of news], instantly to years IMO.

TL;DR version: Rules based on number of shares lead to predictably moronic outcomes given the range of stock prices in the modern market.

If I had to guess: Reddit has wider reach. ET remains a bit of a niche site that struggles with genuine user counts (as opposed to the bots). I don't have any numbers but I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit on trading reaches >100x to 1000x the number of users. I concede I might be in a dying...

Oh cool, after reading first part of linked page I finally remembered LJM from the VIX ETN implosion of 2018; legal cases take their fair time.

If you do this, you probably don't want to be crossing the spread twice a day.

Great discussion here FWIW, really appreciate people with different perspectives chiming in.
