    "losses don't count if you don't realize them"

    are you joking?

    It is important for a trader to be aware of the technical signals and trends in the time frames they are trading.

  5. Ready? the secret is. It was created by brokerages and prop firms to earn commision. Very few traders win at this game. And the winners will eventually lose...

    The secrets are so secret that even their existence is a secret.

    it is day trader interviews where the day traders are supposedly giving away their secrets. It is almost 20 years old, from the days of the dot com bubble, so mostly out of date. Although some of the traders did trade Amazon back then as well.

    Back in those days you could look at the Level 2 quote screen, and when the market makers were obviously bidding up a stock you could front run them and ride the move for a fast profit.
