9. When people increase the mortgage on their house to invest in the stock market. 10. When people say they will loan as much as possible and go all in on stocks on the next 10 % dip. Yes. I know a few people personally who did just that recently

Now, just wait for the response that your pictures/statements are photoshopped or that you've just been lucky so far, @sstheo. You don't owe anyone here anything, so don't let the critics and skeptics throw you off balance. On the other hand, that's just how it goes when running a public...

Check out Kinetick. They offer free EOD data. Not sure if it's applicable for your use if you need to download data for a massive basket of stocks. No. But that's just part of the process. If you never ask questions and answer them, you're surely not learning either.

Finally, I'll just add that not knowing how to code is a major detriment in this business. If I knew what I know now when I first started, I would actually have spent 1-2 years learning to code first before proceeding to learn trading. The time I've spent dealing with programmers and the $$$...

Good thread with interesting suggestions. Let us know if you decide on something, OP. Is this a study you want to perform on say all NYSE stocks? If so, the initial obstacle seems to be the screening part, i.e., finding stocks that fullfill your listed conditions. I'm not sure if standard...

It seems like so many day traders have a short bias - I wonder why? I had a very strong short bias too when I first started out, but it's hard to argue with facts, i.e., no actual valid reason to have a short bias in general. If anything, it's better to have a long bias and over the last years...

I think you assume way too much. And @CALLumbus gave you a good answer already. For me, I like to plan the day ahead and anticipate the most likely scenarios on any given day. So, most of my decisions are planned out in advance and I'm rarely surprised even if the improbable happen. If...

Do you have an opinion on volume charts vs tick charts?

Fine tuning entries/exits in addition to increased granularity. For me, faster charts are mostly useful to observe things that can't be seen on slower charts during periods of higher volatility. It all boils down to volatility and trading style. I generally don't scalp for ticks, but there...

The bottom line is that you should trial it and see if it fits you and what is you want to accomplish. It might be that you get a signal on the 1-minute and then use the 10-second to fine tune your entry. Give it study. :)

Interesting topic. There's been a lot of discussion in the past on tick charts and volume charts, but I've not seen so much on faster sub-minute charts. Presumably - a faster second chart would be similar to a fast tick chart - right? My main chart is a 1-minute chart too. Does not mean I...

Wikipedia: Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund (RIEF) In 2005 Renaissance Institutional Equities Fund (RIEF) was created.[22] RIEF has historically trailed the firm's better-known Medallion fund, a separate fund that only contains the personal money of the firm's executives.[23]...

No. I do not. Didn't you read the book by Zuckerman? The main Medallion fund as I understand it is mostly geared towards short-term trading. Hence, my prior post. In 2005, long after the original Medallion fund was launched and had established its success, they launched the RIEF fund which...

If so, aren't you really saying that the markets are inefficient most of the time? And if so - are markets really efficient then? And what is fair value? Is fair value your idea of where the markets should be based on some fundamental analysis? Surely - one can find some other fundamental...

That's certainly ambitious. Keep us posted and good luck. :)

Interesting thread, @WchPl Are you currently just studying/logging/back checking these ideas or are you actually trading as well? If not - when do you plan on start trading? Thanks.

Did Simons say that? While it may be one of his principles, I believe most of their trading was short-term by nature. Your perception of where the market should be (fair value) and where it actually is seems to contradict the efficient market hypothesis. Yet, you believe the markets are...

While Norway has far more restrictions on supplements than the US, GABA was actually available when I first started working out a good 15-20 years ago now. I don't remember what the marketing angle was then, but I believe it was not sold as a nootropic, but for the purpose of relaxation and/or...

I'd say that's true for most - if not all things. I've tried for example various diets and elimination of certain foods which should yield allegedly amazing results, but have not noticed any big differences. It's important to stay pragmatic about these kind of things, I think. On the subject...

I just read this at Bloomberg now: U.S. stocks continued their relentless push higher even as the economic impact from the deadly coronavirus remains murky. Treasuries were mixed and gold advanced. They're just spinning a story each and every day with no clue at all about why and what...
