Making money or losing money.

LOL! I have no idea who this David cat is, but this is like the 5th time I've been called him. So he must be a stud!

Thanks Sprout! Question - when you say this - HH, HL, LH, LL’s, RTL and LTL’s are a start and there is so much more. What are those abbreviations? Higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, lower lows, I would guess, and the last two? You are suggesting I look for those things on the charts...

Again, I do most certainly have real time data with my real IB account. In the 5 minutes I was playing around in my paper trading account, the little default chart that I'm used to looking at did not appear to be getting the real-time updates. Not typing that out a fourth time lol.

Sure, you COULD just add them up. Maybe they do that. But the goal, I would think, is to figure out what the volume of that index would be if that index were a real thing you could by or sell. And, if so, I maintain that the representative volume of that index would be calculated as I...

So lightninboy, are you saying you buy funds essentially when their RSIs are high, and sell them when they are low? If so, isn't that kinda-sorta the opposite of what RSI is supposed to do - isn't it an over-bought/over-sold indicator? Thanks.

Good lord I too googled this and gave up trying to find it. I would assume its calculated in the same way as the index - market weighted - so for each stock in the index you take its volume that day, multiply it by its weight in the index, then add all of those 500 calculated amounts together...

Understood Sprout. Will be getting more specific when I figure out an actual plan haha. Just trying to get the feel of the market now.

Thanks Startibartfast. If I ever manage to turn a profit trading just 1 share of SPY I'll check these out for futures. For just regular stock IB has pretty much the best rates no? I'll need to check out their most recent rates - I've been with them for like maybe a decade or more - I'm sure...

Uh oh, spaghetti-o...

You ever been to a supermarket? Do you know how, when you go to the nuts section, they offer different varities of nuts, with some being "salted" and some "unsalted"? I am the former. So all I can offer you is my salty nuts. EAT MY SALTY NUTS!!!

I suspect I do. I posted twice my problems with the paper trade thing, not going to type them out again. But I spent literally 5 minutes in it before just going to my main account and trading 1 share, per recommendations here. So maybe it just needed configuring or something.

Thanks Free one! That is exactly my worry. Question - what borrowing fees would have to be paid in this situation? I think shorting borrowing fees are based on value of the short. So how would the fees be calculated when the value of the short is technically unknown? Thanks!

lolol!

Glad to have you on the forum Mao!

PV10 for the win!

I like this video, but I'm just not so sure about it. I get it. You could place some random horizontal lines on a chart, and some would fit in and look like support/resistance points. But that is just pure chance - random. The question is, can those coming up with support/resistance points...

Haha Overnight, you were probably thinking of something I was mouthing off while drunk. Apologies again. One with ET I shall be. Thanks!

Thanks ECS, I think in summary what you are saying is that if China raises tariffs on all U.S. goods to infinity, such that U.S. goods sold to China drops to zero, the U.S. is down $150 billion max, but if the U.S. did the same thing v. China, China would lose far, far more exports. That makes...
