Thanks appreciate it

Any idea why it just flat out rocketed up other than a short squeeze ? I noticed volume right around the time they declared an international emergency. But markets didnt seem to care. This is why I rarely trade the afternoon anymore unless its a buy the dip swing trade. These afternoon moves...

It’s easier to not trade in this environment. Making more per day in my 401k and long term brokerage than I can trading. So why trade ? Sit and wait for this to continue melting up

Best stock market ? Obama saw better returns during his presidency. As did Clinton. As did many other presidents.

You dont have an edge. You've been paper trading for 4 months, and haven't taken your strategy live yet.

I would avoid those 1-5 min time frames. its just incredibly difficult to turn a profit with commissions and your stated issues of pulling the trigger, taking trades against the rules, exiting early, etc. trade the 30-60 min time frames. Huge stops, adjust accordingly. Look to capture an...

The fed was injecting the market with money during that time. It was not the perfect storm. All you had was "uncertainty".

What about when people die. Don't their digital wallets and their bitcoins effectively go with them ? So can't u take them out of circulation. So supply becomes smaller and smaller after all coins are mined, which creates the potential for more manipulation...... Or am I missing something...

Market can't fall if fed keeps propping it up. Just buy the dips........seriously. Its that easy. As long as we all can foresee a reason for the market to fall, its not gonna fall. Something has to catch us all off guard, then a steady stream of bad news has to follow. perfect storm...

for me it was 1) Enjoying the journey (this means studying thousands of hours of charts) to get to profitability and determined to succeed 2) Having a full time career already with no immediate time demand to achieve consistancy.

Volpri, for the above examples, what is your risk like ? Trade 1, at what point would u exit for a loss if it decided to continue on up. Would u wait for it to pullback 75% before exiting for a loss ?

Using desktop and the cqg phone app. I don’t really need much other than a moving average and candles. If I get no responses I’ll call Tuesday

Right......B/c there's only one way to skin a cat in trading.....This is a micro thread. Anything goes here ! Dirt cheap to tryout new strats live

just went to their website out of curiosity. Sounds like a ridiculous structure that is bound to be a fly by night website. I wouldn't waste your time if i was you.

and what have u contributed to this forum besides criticizing ? If you dont have anything worthwhile to say then F#k off.

Where did the volatility go ?

What is your opinion of a good risk per trade ? I've always thought 1-2% was a bit low for scalper also. 5% make more sense to you ?

stayed up all night to trade this short squeeze on ES and NQ. Been a great move so far. Nothing too unpredictable, but a hell of an uptrend. Doubt I'll trade the open today. I've never been a fan of the price action after a short squeeze. Just too crazy. Congrats to anyone thats made money...
