    Are exotic options and emerging markets really easier to read and trade than US large caps and indices?

    I wouldn't even know where to start to look for penny stocks, emerging market equities or exotic currencies and options.

    That's exactly what I'm trying to say. You don't "read" those things, you figure out their fair value and trade when prices deviates from fair value while at the same time managing your risk. Guessing where price goes next as a single source of edge is a fools game

  5. my advice to noobs is to ask their broker’s trading desk. You can get more help there than on ET without the ridicule,
    if you are looking to make money. If your goal is to show you are the smart trader on this planet, noobs can pick up that attitude here.

  7. I just prefer that you lose the attitude that you are showing here. Answer the question if you want to or just leave it alone. Have some decency and respect, that's all.
    Anyway, I just lurk on ET looking for nuggets. First time, I had to say something as all this negativity is becoming too much.
    Already spent too much time. I am out of here before I get sucked into this. You guys on the other hand spend all your free time here. Have fun, just keep it decent. Don't be too hard on the new guys, that's all I wanted to say.

  8. Would like to better understand how you manage your exit for your day-trade UVXY long. Just incase you care to share.

    Sounds like you are new to trading .... and understanding that markets don't play nice. A little reality from fellow traders is exactly what newbies should expect and want.

  10. Don't bother to guess about me. You think you are teaching noobs that markets don't play nice by being rude to them? Now, I know that's how you were treated back in the 80s but you have a choice now.
