    I meant I don't want to be adding to a position as the price is going up. When averaging down, you're buying more shares at a better price so it's costing you less per share. Averaging down into a short position of an inverse ETF is increasing your position at a more expensive price each...

    Tell me more about this. Is it enough to overcome paying interest on the short position? Another thing to consider is that, as the position moves against me, I want to be able to aquire more shares at a cheaper price. If I'm short QID, as QLD goes down, QID is going to be going up, and...

    I'm thinking I may want to trade QLD instead of SPY. It's cheaper and has much more movement, even more than SSO. I may start a new position with QLD tomorrow.

    All I Do is Lose Money

    You said you don't take losses and then you said your monthly statements have losses on them. I don't get your brand of doublespeak. When you said you average down I thought maybe we could chat because I average down all the time, and 99% of this forum is like "OMG AVERAGING DOWN IS...

    That post was like a fortune cookie. I still have no idea what you are talking about and tend to avoid interacting with people who cannot talk in specifics. That being said, if what you are doing is working for you, then keep it up

    This thread is a paradox. Unless you mean you never take a loss personally.

    Can you answer my question in a non-vague way? You "never take a loss" "but there are plenty of them along the way" wat

    No. I haven't placed the next buy order yet. I'm thinking it will be around 136-137 or so.

    Intraday trade set ups

    Stochastics just tells you what price is doing relative to what it was doing a certain number of bars ago. It has no predictive ability. A cross at the bottom is followed by an uptrend just as often as its followed by a downtrend. When it hits the oversold line price will reverse just as...

    If this was futures trading, does it look like I have a (+) expectancy?

    There are no "streaks" in trading. In Blackjack, you can sort of guess the odds based on cards that have previous been played before the deck is shuffled again. In other words, each hand is not independent. In trading, every trade is independent. Just because the contract you are trading...
