My advice: lower your expectation. I see too many people here who are too emotionally attached. Don't believe everything you see or hear (regardless of what you see or hear is valid or not). You'll then come out just fine.
Don't take it too seriously either way. I think what you encountered is the difference in this thread and most, but not all of the threads. We are for the most part seasoned traders. We are so beyond, and done, trying to "prove" anything. Most unseasoned people are not traders at all. Yes they "trade", but that is like saying making food is cooking. Yes they cooked food but they do not know how to cook. They have not even got into the stadium, let alone the game. For the most part we are looking well into the hundreds-thousands of trades, moving tens of millions notional every year. Personally when someone has a good day, we say "Great one". When they have a bad day "we say, "sorry about that". But we all know tomorrow is another day, the market is always around, and it is more a marathon than a sprint. That being said, people would learn more in this thread than most of the other threads. But it would take work and dedication and no ego. But of course, those are the same attributes that allow one to succeed in trading. See you all tomorrow. Algos are set and ready to test, trading live to nail that last (known) piece I need!
Today's Asian session ES is very choppy. Trendy futures are BTC, Taiwan Index, and perhaps Hangseng. Let's see if the Europeans can give us a trendy / not choppy market.
Good job driving away one of the most valuable and insightful posters on this board. You should really stop posting.
Pathetic a$$holes knew about it yesterday in Wall Street circles >>>>> Nvidia Gets DOJ Subpoena in Escalating Antitrust Probe Department also sent subpoenas to third parties in case Nvidia has built a dominant position in AI computing https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-antitrust-investigation?srnd=homepage-europe
That's what you're doing, though. I'm not scared of anything. My number one priority is to make money and good trades. I've done what you ask many times in the past for long periods of time. Posting trades live is a huge distraction and once you do it your perspective easily changes from one where you want to be right and prove others you're good, as opposed to doing what you should be doing. Even yesterday I was afraid to post my trade that was massively in the money at that point as I was afraid I would jinx it somehow. Where did you get the idea that I'm somehow obligated to run a free service here on my own time posting my entire trading plan, methodology, entries/exits, annotated charts and so on? I mean, it sounds pretty ridiculous, doesn't it? The reason I recommend people to give up and forget about trading (this is mostly geared towards newbies or people who are still struggling after a few years) is because the cost of making it is very, very high with very low probabilities of making it. Even to this day I'm still spending a ton of hours behind my screens both during the trading day and over the weekends research, testing, planning, etc. Tom Hougaard is a VENDOR. LOL. Where do you see me selling anything?
I actually left that Discord. It turned out the same way as this thread. A lot of good people, but a few sour apples that just didn't make it worth it. Overall I prefer the forum format as you can post whenever you feel like it and a have a moment as opposed to Discord which is an interrupted stream of comments. I'm trying to reduce my online activity and trade in isolation instead. Maybe I'd consider starting my own channel at some point. There would be zero tolerance for negativity and trolling.
Pathetic or not, the market is what it is. I'm sure there were equally pathetic assholes who took advantage of NVDA's upswing a few months ago. If you lost money yesterday, shake it off and just move on.
Me too, and that is in large part what makes this all the more worthwhile. It keeps me off the streets Here on this forum I just put the bad apples on ignore and I have a very low tolerance for bad appledom. The person you're responding to is on my ignore list. He really ought to start examining his own head and answer honestly to himself why he is pressing you to meet the demands he has put forth. He thinks it is about you, but it is obviously all about him. He'd be a better person if he could come to see that that is the case.
