    It is indeed clear that you are a young "trader" that needs advice and mentorship. You need a lot of it.
    The article is BS. And the info on your profile is probably also fake.

    Who is F.S.Comeau?
    "On Tuesday, a day trader allegedly took gambling to a whole new level. And, if his act was in earnest, he lost big.

    According to MarketWatch, Canadian investor F.S. Comeau bet his last $249,000 against Apple Inc. AAPL in an attempt to reclaim $2.5 million lost in poor investments. At the time of the trade, shares were valued around $122, and MarketWatch reported that an increase of just $6 would deplete Comeau’s savings.

    Apple shares shot up Tuesday after-hours when the tech giant blew out its Q1 earnings estimates... and Comeau lost significantly."

    We watched that guy's video live here at ET (we had a thread going), he streamed it on Youtube as the earnings came out.... It was hilarious... he was wearing a Wolfman mask and howling.... until it started climbing... then the video feed just shut off. :D https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/redditor-yoloing-on-aapl.306307/page-5

    It gives trading a belief system which opens the ability to teach TA and therefore profit from teaching TA. if it worked the person teaching it, would be just trading and be rich already.
