Jan. to April are always my best months. And then comes May, I lose tons of money that I usually have to take the rest of the year getting back so I just end up earning almost just breaking even. Every single year it's like this it's so annoying.
The dayz when I decide to have discipline come to debit within the week. And usually keep running after I exit like a wimp.
Back in the day when I ran my mutual fund timing service and was independently audited... I had 5 years without a losing quarter (mine was the only service in the equities space without a losing quarter).... and was also #1 in 5-year performance in the Steve Shellins', "Moni Research Newsletter". Audited results posted in Barrons and IBD. FWIW... (Still, some ETers question my posts like I'm full of shit... )
%% Good question; even if many prefer not to answer that question, for obvious reasons.................... Industry wise / longer = better. Depends on the ,market I'm in; for metals /weekly+ twice weekly. WITH 20/20 hindsight\ i'm not surprised JAN, 2022 was my worst month for 2022\ major TREND Change\ SPY\QQQ\DIA\DOW , perhaps VTWO\trend change, but not for metals...................................
Not necessarily. Whatever "info" one gets from a longer term chart, gets the same/more in greater detail in the shorter term chart. That is... the daily chart takes all of the day's action and compresses it into one bar. The hourly chart displays the daily action in 7 bars. That's more "detail". You can extrapolate that same notion to time frames shorter than hourly.
%% Sure is+ requires much more bid\ask spread; because most millions/billions in market are not made by market makers, no wonder so many dont believe you. But you had some good points on rejecting the gov ''small sample'' on vaccine scam. LOL As noted before/ no disrespect in tended for MMs, specialist$ or JS billions , or math teacher that made about $360 million \in South America+ left it to a soccer team.
