    Is trading harder under current volatility or normal market conditions?

    You could answer that via backtesting your trade method between 2008 - 2010 for a comparison in trade performance because those were high volatility trading conditions too although for different reasons... 2008 - 2010 global financial crisis whereas 2020 global health crisis. If your backtest...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    Wrong answer to the questions... Take care with your paranoia about your belief that I stated that young people are KILLING the Old and Ill people. Simply, conversation has concluded and its now time to go wash my hands after flushing the toilet. :D wrbtrader

    The cure is worse than the disease

    I blame anyone regardless to age, sex, color, country, religious beliefs or whatever if they're not being safe. Reality check, virus and bacteria can not spread on their own...they need a carrier. Once again, anyone that's ignoring the health guidelines. You only need one person to be infected...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    There's no vaccine yet for the Covid-19. Also, they're still learning about Covid-19. To me and based upon what happen to me in the fall of 2016 when I was hospitalized with the pneumonia (septic)...the early symptoms for the bad cold/fever flu that later was really the pneumonia. Here's...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    I think you asked that before in December 2016 or maybe it was Pekelo. Regardless, I don't share photos but I will share one with Ken Calhoun if he sends me a nude of his hot Asian wife. Sorry for the sarcasm...its what happens when you're self isolated but there's no propaganda. By the way...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    To be precise...I had 2.4% body fat in the fall of 2016. I was in training...not sitting on the sofa watching TV. It wasn't the first time I was that low in body fat. I was similar like in the military around 3 - 4 % out of Air Asssault school. Today, I'm more around 10% body fat via a...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    Not in Italy nor know any health professionals there. My numbers were from Washington and Illinois. Not propaganda. FACTS from health professionals. Also, I didn't think I was talking to young people here. I assumed those I was talking to are over 40. Besides, I have my own children to be...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    I don't think we should compare bank crisis of 2008 - 2010 with the health crisis 2020 even though both at the end of the day results in a financial crisis that requires government intervention. Both have a completely different psychological impact if we just allowed it to run its course...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    They had no choice...too many people demanded the government take action to prevent the spread. You can't demand such and then bitch about that many people out of work in which many will just work from home, others financially compensated for the lost work...people will just adapt. My point...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    Can't argue with the ignorant. Seriously, just follow the medical guidelines, there will be no need to continue over-reacting. Unfortunately, that's too late as you now see it because those like you had the initial reaction and now look where we are today when it could have been avoided by not...

    The cure is worse than the disease

    Lock away people that has not gotten sick nor tested positive. Not enough isolation rooms nor homes for such. Thus, you can not lock away everyone including those not sick. Much easier if everyone wash their hands, social distancing, no group gatherings, designated shopping times in grocery...

    My Trading Quest - Can I be Profitable in 90 Days?

    You do not do that exploring and testing in chaotic market conditions with real money. Yet, if you're only talking about backtesting and simulation trading...not a problem and good luck. By the way, congrats on getting funded by TopStep. wrbtrader

    The cure is worse than the disease

    Wow... In many cases, the young and so called healthy (barely any symptoms) are passing the virus to the Old & Sick. Seriously, the last time I was in the hospital...most of the nurses and medical people were in their late 20's to 40's. My massage therapist is 35 years old whom I have not had...

    My Trading Quest - Can I be Profitable in 90 Days?

    This thread is a little confusing to me because I thought he stated he recently became funded by TopStep and the only way you can do that is if you're profitable. Maybe he meant can he "still continue to be" profitable in 90 days of trading" ??? In chaotic market conditions...always best to...

    CME -7% circuit breaker didn't work ?

    I saw the same thing via two different data providers and my broker. Others in a chat room saw it too...we were wondering why the "limit down" didn't kick in @ -7 %. Instead, it continue dropping almost another 10 points in Emini ES futures before trading stopped. wrbtrader

    My Trading Quest - Can I be Profitable in 90 Days?

    Garry, I don't get it. You just became a funded trader at TopStep via using your own scalping system on US 30 Year Bonds. That implies your scalping system is profitable. Now you want to go test some proprietary trading system from another company ? What's wrong with you ? Seriously, why...

    How do I recover money from a broker?

    As her manager, hopefully you were smart to have downloaded, printed other verification info of each timestamp transaction beyond making screenshots on your cell phone. Secondly, never use that broker again. wrbtrader

    Managing Virus (market) Volatility

    Last time I panic...I came out of a coma and didn't recognize any of my family members in the room with me and I thought I was in another country at a University hospital. Prior to the above panic and many years earlier...I was in the military at a party the night after Jump school graduation...
