    Why market wizards are not day traders?

    I really don't understand this thread. People are taking time out of their day to write that day trading cannot be done? Let me see... ES overnight low 2883.50, rth high 2917.75, which gives me a range of 34 points. So I am to believe that there is no opportunity to take out 5, maybe 10 pts...

    Why market wizards are not day traders?

    There are plenty of edges. Look at ES and CL today, there's plenty to keep a day trader occupied all day. They can automate, arb and spread all they want, there will always be plenty of work for a capable directional trader within the intraday timeframe. H.

    Yesterday's mid-day push

    I trade the ES. Here is what I saw: We couldn't go lower, so we went higher. You might think I am trying to trip you up here, but I'm not. H.

    Is a Bloomberg/Reuters terminal still worth it now that social medias exist?

    If you want to go the budget route, Reuters has the Xenith platform which is the retail version of Eikon. They offer it through Metastock. H.

    I walked away from trading with nothing after more than five years.

    I agree, but look at it from the point of 'markets carry more opportunity' than a Brownian motion distribution would imply. H.

    Remember a couple weeks ago everyone was "selling gold to buy Bitcoin"?

    I disagree. Since the beginning of December it has been pretty clear. There is also a reason for it. It will attract some of the same players - think 'storage of value'. Got to love differing opinions. H.

    Why is TT the overwhelmingly preferred software among professional futures traders?

    It is to alert me to new lows in CL. For new highs there is a different sound. I also have different sounds for equities, bonds and currencies. So while I am trading in and out I know what the broader market is doing just by listening. On a day like today I need more than just visual inputs to...

    Why is TT the overwhelmingly preferred software among professional futures traders?

    TT's X_Trader is the gold standard. For my trading style I cannot do without it. I am purely a directional scalper. There are lots of features for spread traders and autotrading, but I am watching it tick by tick and reading the tape. The MD with its T&S gives a good view of the action, but...

    Why waste your time?

    Is it worth it? It depends on the passion you have for it. How hard are you willing to work at it? Picture this for single-minded focus: The lion mother protecting her two cubs from being snatched by the hyenas. She is fighting against the overwhelming force of a pack of 'em, but she knows...

    Mentor

    If I could give an advice to my eager self 18 years ago I would say: "This is a tough game, you need to start somewhere. Focus on losing the right way. Going for consistent green in the beginning you can forget, it will take time before you understand how the market really works. No one who...
