Exactly, but you need to know options. Especially sell side...

I have a very tight mental stop loss when I am on the sell side. And I actively manage the trade to make sure it does not walk away from me. Very time consuming and stressful.

For a second, it sounded like you are talking about women.

Best trading instrument is the one which has sufficient but not exorbitant liquidity and that's complex enough to be a hassle for most players. Something like Thai stocks

That too, especially wives.

i'm only selling puts on stock i am trying to buy at my strike price

 

[murray t turtle]

you could argue "penny stocks" and "bitcoin" are potential instruments, but those are too illiquid imo

%%Another problem+ i see your points, with penny stocks, some are liquid on bid /ask, but like the real estate appraiser said ''you mean ze rocket can go down also??''LOL''. Miss River @ flood stage is plenty liquid , but still they shut it down sometimes==too much liquid/danger LOL
You could;
but i would,
NOT.

Can it be that that is the only way to survive long term ?

Well, he does not trade, mostly he just buy and keeps them forever.

If I had to choose only 1 instrument to trade than hands down for me it is the NQ. It trends very well, responds great to classic chart patterns, is less expensive to trade than most - it is a breakout market with minimal back filling.

What is back filling? Pullbacks?

 

[comagnum]

back filling meaning price retraces a prior move in the opposite direction. another term to describe sideways/choppy price movement.

pullback - in TA it means price returns to (or close to), the price from where a downward breakout occurred. Non TA traders often use the term 'pullback' to describe a price correction.

If you learn to predict when certain stocks are going to drop/rise, you can make good money.
