    Your going to hate this brutal post

    As an amateur I wouldn't know what that value range was per day. So I can't comment. Business is something else; I either do start ups or TFSE's. I just haven't been in a place that is measured in hundreds or thousands per unit time. In the trading stuff you do as a business, I do as an...

    Any leading indicators you recommend?

    You just pointed out that you can't code and Don just said what I and most people say: We don't get into confrontations with anyone. Don and I both use the prem as a leading indicator. I use it as stretch/squeese in association with the leading "walls" of the DOM and he monitors the...

    Does literacy matter?

    There are many things that empower traders. It is also true that the path of the trader to empowerment has a lot of pitfalls in terms of how he choses to aquire what he needs. Two major mistaken forks in the road deal with literacy and recovery from wrong paths taken. Many people...

    Your going to hate this brutal post

    The spectra person has stated his historical progress. As I understand it he has not reached breakeven on his early losses by recovering as much as he has lost. I think he is saying that he changed his ways and he is now making money. He thinks that based on his "recovery" that he can...

    Why do folks reveal Profitable Strategies, are they NUTS?

    It looks like the tick change caused it to be easier or harder for people to make more money or just make money as a consequence of something or other about "equilibrium". In any case, an lol on the subject is considered ridicule. For me, I do not notice a change in how the markets get to...

    What kind of mistakes to pros make?

    Were I bashing, which is not productive, I would be dealing with specific posts. The mistake thing is not productive for you at this time or mostly anytime. What is productive for anyone, including you is to be working at learning in a methodical way. For sure, there are many ways...

    Simple Profitable Method

    Based on your chart, check out john person's doji stuff. use a near doji to break your current habit, then leave person behind asap. As least this will get you out of the bind. going to profitability as the OP recently described his effort is not the thing to do.

    Trading stocks on unsual volumes

    I assumed that he was not addressing "peculiarities". I agree with you WHOLEHEARTEDLY on the peculiarity thing. It would be playing poker and not with a winning hand, ever.

    Trading stocks on unsual volumes

    It turns out to be better than that. You can start out at that level as a beginner type person who is in a learning process. What is nice about using the chart is that it is associated with a list and the price breakout follows the volume break out. Unusual volume sorts the lists so...

    What catalyst transformed you to a successful trader?

    Catalyst????? Why would there be a catalyst? Where are catalysts used anyway? Day 1 as you look at a chart (I made my own in 1957), it says three things to you: 1. You only make money with price change. 2. You have to be in the market to make money. 3. All the money you want...

    What kind of mistakes to pros make?

    CM69, At some point you are going to come right up next to the brink of beginning to learn about trading. Vis a vis your Q the two set of mistakes have little overlap. And it is important to turn to learning about trading where none of those mistakes come onto the table. As Don...

    Trading stocks on unsual volumes

    You are trading behind the HERD at this point. Look up "front running" to learn how to use volume as a leading indicator of price. Qualify your 150% if you will it is meaningless as stated. If you want the institutional story straight form the compilers go to either blocks player or the...
