On Fridays the market does what it wants, better not to operate.

    Everything is manipulated.
    They open their mouths and move the price as they want.

    Yup, exactly my point. If you are Bobby Valentine, you go short in the market you want to make money in, because people listen to you. So after you go short, you just announce that you are keeping your stock rating at the same level, or downgrade it, while the stock went up on the more junior analyst's upgrades. When the stock drops 4-5%, you buy to cover. Easy money.

    Unfortunately, this is how the world works, we are sheep surrounded by wolves.

    i only trade on fridays - it's the day they told me i could have all the money, so begrudging i put up with it. never fall into the trap of buying a jet, then you become dependent on them.

    Are you spending time earning money by trading
    or
    are you simply passing your time venting your anger & frustration and posting it in forum?

    It ok to trade TA with indicators, but I often think many just don't look at the trees that make up the chart, nor keep an eye on longer term S/R and trendlines, whether they off highs/lows or closing prices, best to once a hour to take a break and check them and see very cheap entries and look for bounces. Longer the term of the trendlines, more significance are the trend lines.

    Fridays are a little tougher to trade, but only reason tougher is am worn out from trading the week, price goes up and down. If anything , this shows you have flaws in some rules of methods and you looking at this wrong, this is showing you have opportunities to fix them! An experienced trader should be able to trade any time or at least have rules in place in case they want to trade them.

    In intraday I'm still not profitable according?
    I do what I can.
    Nor am I a loser since my intraday operations are only mental.
    My style is swing.
    There, if I'm profitable.
