Yeah sure. Trading with narrow stops is a bad idea.

Don't think serious brokers (or exchanges like CME would forward this info to other market participants) without it being specified in your legal agreement, given their size and legal ramifications. But hey, this is speculation on my part. With CFDs from less credible platforms I would...

Since my start I haven't met a person IRL that was interested in trading the right way for it to even be meaningful discussing it, like if they want to make money there are 1000x easier ways of doing so.

The market absolutely doesn't care about whether you're in a loss or not (unless you're a whale about to be forced out that is). Chances are you will be making poor decisions while upset and trying to get out with a "reduced" loss. Yeah, you can sweep it under the rug with options but that's...

Haha yeah I almost thought he/she is an algo working 24/7. One of the main reasons I visit the site.

Good advice. Keep the 'educational fee' as small as possible while still being emotionally meaningful.

What's up with all these low post accounts creating discussions about forex trading and name dropping CFD platforms? @Baron To me it looks like bot activity.

For future recommendation, never follow investment/trading ads. You're much better of searching for a service yourself when you require it, you're then in a position where you can select the best of multiple choices (and filter each one properly).

Hahaha oh wow, really liked the video. While less extreme where I live in Swe (obviously) it kind of summarizes what I "feel" (without any rationality/knowledge involved) about the housing market and why I insist to keep my money elsewhere. Even here we are approaching the point of people...

Presumably martingaling or grid trading? I.e. gambling

Yup. Basically, acting like it's certainty is for two reasons: A) They are promoters rather than traders trying to instill a false sense of certainty in people to get them "trading". or B) It's a thought simplification that helps some traders execute. E.g. "we will get a bounce off this...

That statement belongs in the category 'so general it hardly makes sense'. The median Trump or Biden supporter certainly doesn't, whereas it's easy to find at least one that does (making such a statement untrue in binary logic). If I'm making a particular vote I would obviously hate to be...

I went with QC instead of QT back in 2016 because the lack of transparency with QT business model made me uneasy. QC makes money from wannabe quants regardless of level of competency - the business model of QT assumed there are at least a few good quants to stay with them. But why would anyone...

ET much like every investment/trading forum I've ever been on is quite heavily right wing leaning.

Ah yeah, cybercriminals are professionals these days and it's only about money. Two decades ago it would more have been some teenager going "lol I broke something". Not that it still doesn't happen but yeah, trolling portfolios just doesn't seem like it would generate news headlines.

My god, he should spend some time on making the web page not seem like something from the 90s. Substance over style of course, but there are limits...

You're absolutely right that "program me bot that makes money" or whatever won't work. But I felt it's more productive to assume he knows what he's talking about despite the scarce details. As for using broker APIs, it depends. Real time and error handling issues can get in the way. An extended...

D Depends on his project's threshold for beginner errors. Both if he himself programs it obviously, or if he gets a programmer unexperienced in the domain then that will cost some time on 'obvious' errors regarding uncommunicated specifics. Regardless, not everyone wants to be programmers...

It's a hypothesis among others. As for a guy like this not getting hired by quant funds, I think when they are able to trade factors 'properly' with statistical arbitrage, doing things the way Davey (and e.g. Connors, Alvarez just to put in a few more names there) with entry/exit rules is...

Yepp, that's basically what the asset management industry is all about.
