Market lesson at this time...

Discussion in 'Trading' started by Scataphagos, Sep 20, 2022.

  1. You should sell this information in a course bundle across social media sites....you will, finally, become a millionaire in the market,
    You got some magical, secret, Holy Grail, knowledge there,

    Scataphagos....that username is so weird, odd and unique -- what does it mean,

  2. 1. A "course" would be too much trouble.

    2. I became a market millionaire years ago.

    3. The Greek version of Scataphagos* translates to "shit eating"... self-deprecating humor, you know. :)

    *Some Greek ETer once PM'd me and asked, "do you know what that actually means"? LOL! I changed my handle to that in deference to Obama becoming president.

  3. Whippy take-your-profits-and-run kind of market today, @Scataphagos. How would you navigate such a market?

    That would be a market lesson I'd like to have.

    Thank you.

  4. Same as all the time... Buy Support, Sell Resistance, chase breakouts. Works the same in all time frames and in all markets.

  6. Guru, now that you've laid out the THEORY, you must-est to deliver let's say 5 LIVE trading examples on SPY to show how it works in the real world as opposed to from an armchair rose-pink Cadillac view, such view being the forte of this site.

    Now's your chance Herr Uberstomphfuhrer, show us IN ACTION how its done. Help us get better.

    Your court, Herr Uberstomphfuhrer :)

  7. The Holy Grail has been found at last after 2 months of subterranean searching by yours truly.

    Holy Grail attributes: This particular one can render the Casino broke within 24 hours

    a couple of those per day = a good day's trading
    All time frames, all markets
    you cannot lose ............ unless YOU (excuse) screw up

  8. You know, it's such a sense of satisfaction... THRILL even... when you come to the conclusion that you've "figured it out yourself". I wouldn't want to deprive you or any trader of that "Ah ha" moment.

    It's all the same I've been saying for years...

    Buy Support
    Sell Resistance
    Chase Breakouts
    Trade with stops

    KISS, baby!

    I don't mind showing you where the good fishing hole is, but I'm not going to bait your hook and cast your line for you too.

    If you don't understand or can't identify support and resistance, there are plenty of books.

    (I'm no guru... it's Chapter 1 in "Technical Analysis 101". Seems new traders are in such a hurry to "get to the good stuff" they skip over Chapter 1... but I do like that Uberstomphfuhrer though... the "stomp" part really makes it!) :)

  9. No offense, but your advice is about as practical and useful as saying buy low and sell high.

  10. "Buy low"... AT SUPPORT. "Sell high"... AT RESISTANCE.

    "Most useful and practical".

    It's also technically correct to "buy high and sell higher" when appropriate.

    So... if you're not going to trade off of support/resistance, just what motivates you to buy/sell?
