  2. Definitely not amateur hour. You need to know your halt levels, and don't underestimate the speed of the market, and NEVER trade manually around those levels. If long, stop loss orders should be at least .5% above the halt line, and generate within milliseconds (automated) of entry order fill. Most importantly, realize that one wrong move could turn your 10k discount broker account into a 100k+ debit.

    if it were that easy why did Warren and Charlie 'see their portfolio cut in half at least twice in their investment lifetime'?

    smart asses hindsight 20/20.... with everything priced in market timers always underperform!

    I am stil $2m in the money, yeah that's how much fcking dough I have made from the market, was about $4m at the ATH... how many here have even reached the $m mark.

    Futures in ETH do not have a halt, they simply have a limit of movement. A HALT means all trading ceases, and many order types cannot be entered during a HALT. A limit move is simply a price that cannot be exceeded until next time interval, which is usually RTH open.

    Why would you be long over the weekend on this environment. In fact, all trend following is just short for the last few weeks

    i feel like professionals should be smarter than this though, no? I always think they are then realize a lot of these firms still are overextended regardless of the risk models.
