Agree, these markets are a gift for day traders. I hope neke is trading with the intra day trend, and not fighting it by doubling up..
The dipshits offering "constructive criticism" are blow-outs who seek therapy in the form of offering unsolicited and erroneous trading advice. You know who you are.
atticus: perhaps, you ought to confine yourself to options.... and show off your linguistic excellence there where your friends prefer....?
volatile markets = easy markets? Doesn't it just mean that your stops are always getting hit due to the hige volatility?
Not even close. The same key magical areas work with little heat, except when you letting your winners run, AS YOU SHOULD, you get much more bang for the buck. In other words more expectancy from your trading. Also again, due to high volatility, these magical key areas spawn with much higher frequency now, allowing even more opportunities in your preferred timeframe Crazy A
I swear on all that is f*cking Holy that you people would sh*t yourselves blind if you ever turned a profit. As though you're "waiting" for Neke to shape-up and take your advice. WTF is wrong with you? If my language upsets your delicate intestinal flora...... I apologize.
atticus: perhaps, you miss most well intended traders' attempt and their endeavor and their sincere desire to want to see neke turn the corner and to become profitable within 24 earthly hours.... which is entirely possible and probable.... but at the very same time.... to get there and to become profitable is entirely up to neke himself/herself largely.... as almost all profitable traders, young and not so young, would tell the younger generation traders in unison that to become profitable, traders MINIMALLY need to: firstly, get your reasonable and executable trading plan down packed; secondly, to sim out your trading plan to gather statistics for support and selectivity for at least 6 months minimally (back testing can not be included) ; thirdly, to select, summarize and formulate your strategy from your stats directly, to arrive a tradeable platform--entry, exit points etc; fourthly, in reference to reward/risk ratio and management, to only risk your own dispensable funds which most believe not to risk more than 2% in each trade. lastly but most importantly, trade only your own trading plan, particularly when your predetermined setup shows up on your screen.... squeeze the trigger--do not let your other side of the brain persuades you to doubt your own personal setup which you personally tested out and worked up and planned toward profitability.... atticus dear, i offer neke my personal general trading plan as outlined above but whether it would do any good for neke or not, that would depend on neke.... and you, atticus, won't you like to offer something for neke toward profitable trading by offering just ONE among many of your profitable trading plans in OPTIONS....? atticus, you won't have to you know, you won't need to either.... if you do not feel up to it at the moment to share something worthwhile with neke and other, perhaps, much more experienced and knowledgeable traders than we both currently are.... well, will leave that up to you, ok, atticus--one of the most eloquent options traders on board? thx everyone for being long suffering with many of my self repetition here in et forums which i humbly apologize....
Lol. Actually you are wrong. It is guys/gals like YOU that are blow-outs that vent your frustrations by trying to criticize those that actually know how to trade and are trying to help someone.
I frequently post positions on this board. I have a vix thread in the options forum that produced on double on haircut in less than two months. Ostensibly, he could simply follow the thread as I post the fills in real-time. If you want the "secret sauce" there isn't any.
