%%Futures are down across the board. Reasons. Not sure but consider - triple witch, margin calls, swing traders who thought the market would rally caving in.


Didn't it already @ 10am?I think spy bounces from here today. Oversold short-term.
Hello maxinger,you failed to support your statement with
facts/data/reasons.
trading is not a guessing game.
it is a serious business.
tread creator should be a value adder.
if not, don't bother to create a new thread.

Don't keep charts open for ETF's during the day so maybe I'm wrong. But $SPX did.
Huh? It was on its way down, time of the post, after topping?Yeh, market s&p was about 10 pts higher when I made that prediction. I'm only right about 50% of the time on my short term market predictions.
I recently met a trader who is currently down -$120,000 since November 2021.
Everyone talks about winning and making money. Noone dare talks about how they losing money.
Good Morning MacBookProHo,Talk about it, mention it specifically how he lost money of $120K.
Losing money is sexier....rather than listening to making money stories.
Well, both sides are sexy. It's important for a trader to realize both sides of the planet.
It takes an older, wiser, mature person with experience to acknowledge both sides of the coin.
The dumb, naive, and young and inexperienced....tend to see only the upsides, and potential and bragging rights and the glorious rewards down the road...that never seem to come,
I do not know all the specific details how he lost the money but it was through a cycle of
1. Buying trading courses, indicators, mentors....etc.
2. And just flat out losing money trading.
He did not say specifically, but he did say he regret following a few paid trading teachers, chat rooms, etc.
#2 is most of the losses.
I think this is typical amongst retail traders in this trading business.
I have heard a few stories like this.
