Hey - does anyone know of any upcoming trading conferences in 2023 either in the US or globally? My interests are technical analysis, futures, stocks, etc. Interested in attending a live in person conference this year to network and pick up some knowledge from any live seminars. Thanks

Very True " A plan going wrong is valuable feedback"...

Must delay the payoff and see how that works out!

Thx for the link

That's what I think too, improving entry (waiting patiently for a good setup) is very important as well and probability of stop being hit may be less.

Yes, going to make it a rule to use a bracket enter before entry. thx

I'm quite patient on entering my trade, but when it comes to profit taking I'm way to quick to exit. I watch the screen and within minutes see a few points in the micro emini /es, I take it. I've noticed that if I would have held longer, I'd be more profitable. Should I force myself to set...

-- I totally agree "So important to stay patient and still wait for a solid setup. "...patience for the high probability setup is key!

-- Yeah for sure, the daily and larger time frames are quite important to look into for profitable traders...not to be missed!

-- -- yes I guess your trying to emphasize NOT to miss out or overlook the larger time frames to get better context I agree! Even if i'm trading intra day I look into the daily, not so much the weekly tho.

Seems like a lot of traders emphasize and search for patterns unfolding like a breakout, ascending triangle, wedge, etc. Do professional traders search for similar price action that may have unfolded recently and look for the outcome? For example, if I'm trading e-mini dow futures, I happen to...

I know the VXX is correlated with the VIX index, but definitely don't move 100% in tandem, but why such a huge spread/gap in percentage terms when volatility hits? Based on a TOS chart this morning, VIX index is up currently over 20%, while the VXX ETF is slightly above 10% only. However, I did...

Yeah your right, its personal preference and what suits one's style and makes money at the end of the day for the trader, I agree. When you mentioned you ask yourself and are indifferent whether the sp drops heavy or moves up in the same TF, and making sure "your good"...are you referring to...

Well put "left over options premium from losses added together" definitely fund that next trade, which could be that next winner! No point imo also to treat trading options different from any other asset in terms of using a stop and exit to avoid a huge loss, which allows you to stay in the game.

I'm sure there is some debate about this and some professional traders may or may not be using a stop loss when looking at the underlying chart to exit an options trade. Most traders I'm guessing do multi leg spread trades to control risk (and not really use a SL), but any traders out there use...

I opened up an AAPL option chain on TOS and noticed bid-ask spreads quite wide for atm or near the money options, when comparing to before (note I haven't traded options for a while, mainly e-mini micros now). I looked at a few options like AAPL and TSLA, but curious as to whether this is...

--- Excellent points. hx. Going to pay attention to point #3 more (size of previous PB). Previous price action and how it behaved can help.

------ Point 1. are you saying intermarket analysis is like CONFIRMATION? for example, if all the 3 us index futures are moving in the same direction their is a less chance of a fake signal? Point 2. definitely makes sense and will look into this. I'll consider the European index futures and...

If I'm intra day trading ES micro e-mini futures using only price action on the 5 min to 15 min time frames, I like to use multi-time frame analysis, especially the higher Daily TF and see how its behaving. Assuming we are in an UPTREND on the Daily and then there is a Trend Line break on the...

Excellent point all traders should consider and not spread themselves thin trading too many different products...
