got a coin?

i'm watching the FXE that rolled over on lower volume. Watching the 136.50 level for strong support. If we break that and stay below, shorts may start following through, but so far, as expected, we got to that level and we're dancing.... I traded both sides this morning, played the bounce a...

I guess I should have elaborated. Today around 10.30am started feeling wrong..... Longs weren't doing much and the morning pullback in gold looked real fishy.....yes I had a nice trade going on and that turned into a flat....rather quickly I may add... Thing is, just about everything sold...

RN - again very good contribution to forum. OP - just sent you a pm

You forgot to add an additional answer to the poll... "who gives a fuck"?

The vaccine definitely carries risks - just as about any medication that one can get....I know a lot of people in the medical profession and have heard of quite a few cases where the vaccine triggered a very severe reaction, requiring urgent and acute care.... Not taking it - no thank you.

I have been at it on and off for almost two years. I think I have lost $800.00 gross on a 25K account overall (plus another 2K in fees trading pretty small size - and I am happy that for a went with a prop firm, because by now I would not had any capital to trade, since several months I...

I think there were a few very good comments made in this thread. I had massive discipline and anger issues - actually throwing shit around my office when in bad trades....Took a break, finally wrote a trading plan and decided on a very selective list of trades to follow... I don't get...

You sit there watching a stock print on the offer for 10 minutes, they finally take it, the thing moves 10c stays there 5 minutes and all of a sudden all those that took the offers went away and it cracks 50c to the downside.... Definitely have to adapt - the last two weeks have been an hft...

Thanks for your lengthy and intelligent reply. I would like to reassess that this was definitely not a "strategic" default...Did I anticipate the problem - yes - did I call early - yes. Did I do it in order to screw them - not at all - I actually like my house a lot - and would have done...

Some of these banks are asking to get those homes shoved up their ass big time.I will actually share my story, as i am a homeowner facing foreclosure (non strategic default - business took a shit) and have been basically dicked around by Morgan Stanley (or Saxon mortgage Services - an sub of...

There is no edge in daytrading especially in this environment? WOW.

BTW, I didn't mean to sound like a smartass, but instead wanted to emphasize that too small of a stop is usually the number one reason for losses....rather than the correct reason being the idea simply failed, which is perfectly acceptable. Sometimes I don't enter good trades because there is...

"you will be able to find good spot to try catch a trend using a small stop without getting chopped up by the market" I would rephrase that. Try to find a spot where your idea will no longer be valid, allow enough room for the market to prove that your idea will not work, while allowing...

Namely lower highs and double tops for shorts and reverse for longs. Even if they don't work the risk is so small it doesn't even matter....and when they do work, sometimes you get a headstart on a much bigger move. Now this is something that runs into the timeframe and market type...

You may call it trend, or disapprove of the term or its meaning, however it can be simplified to higher highs/higher lows, buy breakouts or swings at higher lows for as long as they keep occuring (on all timeframes)....entries play a big part, a lot of traders that wait for new highs to buy get...

"Trading in the zone" by Douglas. "Mastering the trade" by Carter. The book by carter IMO is a masterpiece, as it deals with all aspects of trading, answers most of the newbie questions and also gives plenty of examples of trade setups. Paper trading is not bad to get used to a platform...

Also, I see the never ending argument, that there are no reasons for the trend, it's QE or some other reason. So let's short because it will go down.... Trading doesn't care about reasons. The sooner one understands that the better. It doesn't matter why. What matters is the price...

Is it ego? Is it more rewarding (albeit far less profitable) to do things the hard way? Shorting strong stocks is not a high probability outcome, same with picking bottoms in weak stocks. The key to trading better (or one of the many keys to the many doors lol) is to trade things that...

Actually shorting treasuries early this year was a very sound idea. Obviously in april when the market rolled over the gig was up and it was time to go long.... Just because something didn't work out does not make it a bad idea...
