What is the professional's edge ?

Firstly an edge is present before any trade is executed and before any method or system is impemented.System edges and method edges are subjective and invalid , because they depend of execution skills , without these execution skills your edge is zero.

There are three edges that professionals use , these are present consistently in the markets

1)Forex edge is based on interest rate expectations

http://ift.tt/2qrUMyE

2)stockmarket indices edge is based on long trades and investor based .See image
buy stockmarket indices dips and run your profits , they consistently make money.

3)Property market edge is based on rental yield of 3% plus per annum .These make prices rise regularly.

This article below is rubbish , so I did not want to comment on it.

http://ift.tt/2qsb7DH

The main edge in achieving the above edges is your mental edge to execute your edge.Traders have zero edge , unless you have a mental edge .All your illusionary edges are worth zero , if you can't execute your edge.

• Future interest rate expectations take precedence over the headline rate
• If a country has a high interest rate, but no further increases are expected, the currency can still fall.
• If a country has a low interest rate but is expected to raise interest rates over time, its currency can still rise
While it is easy for Forex traders to understand the logic of why investors move money from lower yielding currencies and assets to higher yielding assets and currencies. They may also believe that the simple mechanism of supply and demand is responsible for currency movement. However, this is only part of the story. The expectation of future interest rate increases or rate cuts is even more important than just the actual rates themselves.

To enter a trade :Look at stochatics 4 hours chart after anylysing fundamentals new .Either buy a monthly call or put option A T M or buy/sell futures with a wide stop of 200 pips.Run your profits until change in interest rates .expectations.The edge is the interest rate drivers.

The day trading systems and price action trading is for amateurs.

Those who have nothing to , read psychology threads and articles.This will help you.

interest rate and exchange rate relationship

Higher interest rates attract foreign capital and cause the exchange rate to rise. The impact of higher interest rates is mitigated, however, if inflation in the country is much higher than in others, or if additional factors serve to drive the currency down.

ETF + Algo = Success

Hi!

My name is Alexander, I'm from Moscow (from Russia with Love(c) :-). Sorry for the bad English, sometimes use translator. I am 30 years old. I trade on the main stock exchanges a little more than 10 years. Worked as a trader in investment companies. The results for the last 5 years I attached below. This is my personal trading account.

The purpose of the journal.
Show professional trading and find a large investor ($1M).

Investment philosophy.
I use both passive investing and algorithmic trading. In my opinion, using both approaches can be achieved the best results.
In recent months, I revised my long-term strategy and decided to focus on stability of results, high Sharpe ratio. For this, I developed 2 algorithms in addition to my main strategy and lowered the target profitability to 40-50 per annum.Beginning in April, I will post my monthly results here every month.

Practice.
On 100% of the capital I bought ETF XLP. Why XLP and not SPY? XLP has a higher Sharpe and dividend. My broker (IB) gives overnight 2 leverage, so 50% of the capital will be available. I will allocate free capital to 3 strategies in proportion to their historical Sharpe.

Algorithms.
Below are the backtests of strategies that I will use in my trading. All backtests considered costs. Results are presented without reinvestment, fixed amount. I will not describe in detail the algorithms and share transactions, as in moments of market inefficiencies all traders compete for fill. I hope for your understanding. There will be only backtests and results of real trading.

Strategy #1. Stocks NASDAQ and AMEX.
We earn on correction of the stock after strong growth. Short only. Mean reversion.
Attachment 238800
Attachment 238802
Sharpe ~3.

Strategy #2. Gold spot.
We earn the breakout of multi-day levels. Long and Short. Momentum.
Attachment 238804
Attachment 238806
Attachment 238808
Sharpe ~2.

Strategy #3. VXX.
We earn on VXX drift down. Short only. Trend following.
Attachment 238810
Attachment 238812
Attachment 238814
Sharpe ~2.

Strategies #2 and #3 have a small number of trades per year. It takes many months to realize their statistical advantage.

Free Forex Robots MyfxPlay

Hey guys! Few weeks ago I've come across myfxplay.com service which provides free advisors. And I was really surprised that it's not a scam - I wrote to customer support of FXCharger, FxTurbine, Forex inControl and they confirmed that they really collaborate with myfxplay and provide signals from their accounts.

I just wondering if anybody use it? And if you do could you tell what trading style and risk do you use?

I'm trading with Forex inControl (http://ift.tt/2oHdF45) and it's going really good but I have some concerns about risks, so I need advice from the person who trades with myfxplay for awhile!

Appreciate any help! Thank you!

Metastock 8.1 System Tester Problem

I currently have Metastock EOD 8.1 and the system tester only seems to - maybe - test correctly using points-only testing, which starts at zero points. I want to test with a starting portfolio amount and it does appear allow that, but then the results it generates don't make sense, so I don't trust it. Which later versions of Metastock EOD have a system tester that works correctly and/or what other system testers of other makers are good for testing Metastock data?

Thanks for any advice.

rewire the brain for trading perfection

Neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we think, remember, and behave.


Because of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ever-changing potentials, anything is possible. People who’ve had strokes can retrain their brains to function again by building new pathways. Smokers and overeaters and many others can learn new behaviors and attitudes and can transform their lives.

Question about risk management

Does your account manager have the ability to switch your balance losses to him so you don't suffer losing too much, in case you placed a bad bid and you couldn't recover from it, and then he switches your trade to him to handle instead of your account involvement, or manage to recover your losses when you do but keeps it to himself, just a general question

Does EURUSD going to fall as reached the trendline?

Actually, it is tough to answer that. Already 60% retail traders are net short at EURUSD. But EURUSD has still room for going up till the resistant 1.09811 (high of Dec 03,2015)

A break above this price could push EURUSD to the next Major resistant 1.11231 ( Key resistant zone for now) . And an ECB press conference is coming tomorrow. A reminder ECB having a hawkish tone for last couple of months. A bullish ECB could be a good reason for EURUSD to climb towards 1.11231.

On the other hand French Election outcome could make Draghi to change his policy for a while as EU friendly Macron won the first round and market guessing he will lead the second round too. So, a break below 1.08508 ( low of Oct 25,2016) would open door for EURUSD to go downward till the next major support 1.0653 ( high of Dec30, 2016)

Happy trading and check the chart analysis below.

Earnings reports - first view

Hi,
There are several US stocks reporting their q1 earnings over the next few days.
Which websites are reliable for posting up the results soon after they've been made public?
The general news sites, BBC, etc are quite slow to post this in their business pages. By the time I see it on there the market will have already reacted.
Where can I look to see the results first?
Many thanks for your help.

Buying foreign government bonds

Does anyone know of any brokerages that allow the purchase of government bonds from countries like Russia, Brazil or Greece? Also, when purchasing such bonds, is it best to purchase through a brokerage or are there better options?

Also, why is it that even the 1 year maturity bonds of some of these countries with yields as high as 6%-9% are not any more popular? Is it due to the high inflation rate or is it other factors?

CIEC Due Diligence Find

CIEC has been dormant for years as essentially a shell stock. Shell stocks can become new companies when someone buys the shell / merges their company into the existing company. One of if not the very first step if you are 'dormant' is getting up to date with the State. CIEC was "reinstated" and shared a new annual list of corporate members today 4/25. This is a hint that CIEC is possibly in the middle of being taken over/reverse merged into an existing company. Here is the Nevada Secretary of State website with proof:

Questions for Investors using (or not using) mobile apps

Hi guys. I developed an app called EyeOnMyStocks that was designed to help traders and investors passively track their portfolio and watch lists. It is completely free and has no ads and I was hoping to get some advice from you on how to make it better.

Currently it uses real time market data on the user’s portfolio to send notifications on:

· When a stock moves above or below a certain price
· When a stock moves more than a certain percent in a trading day
· Analyst upgrades & downgrades
· Earnings price reminders
· News

We want to add more features utilizing technical indicators and this is where we really could use advice. The idea is to monitor your portfolio/watch lists to see if the stock prices cross technical thresholds including:

· Simple Moving Average – notified if the price of your stock crosses through an X day moving average, if a short term moving average moves through a longer term one, or if we have a crossover for a ribbon of moving averages
· Exponential Moving Average – same type of notifications as simple
· CCI – crossovers such as +-100, 200 or from one of those through another or 0
· Awesome Oscillator crossovers
· Stochastics
· Average True Range
Are these indicators useful? Would you suggest others?

We also want to create a screener with real time notifications when any stock on the market breaks out such as if a stock moves X% in Y minutes get notified in close to real time. (we would put some sort of buffer such as don’t get notified of a stock more than once per day so it doesn’t overload you with messages)
Other options may include culling the results down by volume or market cap

How useful would these new features be for traders? Also, if you guys have any other technical indicators that can create simple pools for instant notifications or any other ideas/advice please let us know!!

TA - Different methods?

Hi all,

I am super raw newbie and have taken the first baby steps.

My goal is to give this skill some time, practice with paper money and then move on to real trading with a small account asap. The idea is to day/swing trade for short term gains and recurring income from a decent account and capitalise the earnings until the account becomes big enough to sustain a worthwhile income.

Please bear with me if I sound too raw.

I have identified 3 products that seem conducive to my limited understanding and goals - Options, CFD, Eminis

As I said, I am an absolute beginner and am trying to find my feet. The question i have is how is the TA side of things different for each of the above products (Options, CFD, Eminis). Is the basic education needed for all 3 products the same/similar? Or do I need separate TA education for each of them?

Any other pointers would be much appreciated.

Looking forward and thanks in advance.

24th April 2017 - Macron's leading could support the single currency

The Centrist Emmanuel Macron leading by 23.87% of the votes could underpin the common currency in the beginning of the week driving it to 1.0908 which is its highest level since last Nov. 11, before setting back for trading currently near 1.0850.
It has been widely expected to watch Macron and Marine Le Pen in the final but Macron leading in this preliminary phase could give the single currency momentum.
What is widely expected now is to see on May 7 runoff a repeated case of what has happened in 2002 to drop down the far-right nationalist radical candidate Marine Le Pen for keeping France core country in EU.

The French presidential results could drive the investors to load risky assets in the beginning of the new week driving the low yielding currencies down such as the Japanese yen to watch USDJPY trading close to 110.50 supporting the Japanese exporters shares in the first Asian session of this week.
The demand for gold as a safe haven has eased down driving it to be traded around $1270 per ounce having its first existence since Apr. 10 above daily Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, maximum 0.2) which is reading today 1295.46.
The yields in the US money market rose also in the beginning of this week giving support to the greenback to watch now US 10yr yield near 2.31%, after it had fallen last week to 2.17% amid risk aversion sentiment.

The market eyes will be closely next on the fiscal situation US which can face a new governmental shutdown, in the case of congress refusing of the Governmental bill by the end of this week.
This is not far away from happening, after the failure of passing Trump's health care bill, while the US government efforts to reach acceptable plans to reform taxes are still on.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said last week that these plans have progressed supporting the risk appetite.
Mnuchin 's comments could prop S&P 500 up to get back 19.74 points last week, after it had been depressed by energy companies shares slide, as EIA data has shown U.S. gasoline supplies increasing for the first time since February with continued crude output rising.
WTI is still unchanged trading well below $50 per barrel near $49.80, after reaching $49.18 by the end of last week.
Baker Hughes weekly report came by the end of last week to say that US Oil Rigs rose for the 14th consecutive week adding this time 5 rigs to reach 68 which is the highest level since April 2015.

The Markets will be waiting by the end of this week for the flash release of US GDP which is expected show annual growth by 1.5%.
After the Fed's Beige book has underscored last week that "The economy continued to grow across the U.S. at a modest-to-moderate pace in recent weeks without a rapid pickup, as a tight labor market helped broaden wage gains, though consumer spending was mixed.

After forming series of higher lows above 1.0339 which has been reached on the third day of this year to be the lowest level since December 2002, EURUSD could form a second bottom at 1.0681 last Friday.
EURUSD could form an upside gap in the beginning this new week to reach 1.0908 surpassing its previous resistance at 1.0905 which has been formed on last Mar. 27, before diminishing to for currently near 1.0850.
Despite retreating to 1.0850, The pair is still keeping the place it gained above its daily SMA200
EURUSD daily RSI-14 is referring now to existence inside the neutral region reading 65.645.
EURUSD daily Stochastic Oscillator (5, 3, 3) which is more sensitive to the volatility is having now its main line in the neutral region at 71.130 leading to the downside its signal line which is at 73.931, after sliding from 1.0908.
EURUSD is in its eighth day of existence above its daily Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, maximum 0.2) which is reading today 1.0619.

Important levels: Daily SMA50 @ 1.0658, Daily SMA100 @ 1.0622 and Daily SMA200 @ 1.0818
S&R:
S1: 1.0681
S2: 1.0569
S3: 1.0494

Forex Angel recurring currency notifications

I have traded currencies in the past and, needless to say, didn't have much success with it.
The market always seemed to move against me, taking out stops or not filling my limit orders before moving in the opposite direction.

Anyway I still remained passionate about forex trading in general and I am passionate about software development, which is why I recently developed a mobile app on my own named Forex Angel, for both iOS and Android ( https://www.reninf.com ).

I believe it is a useful tool for forex traders because it allows them to set recurring alerts.
They can specify a certain value or percentage and the app will notify them WHENEVER the currency pair moves by that much amount.
They don't have to sit and watch the price constantly or set a new alert every time their target price is met.

I am looking for some advice on how to market the app to forex traders. Since I am just a small guy I don't have a marketing budget. Any help or advice is appreciated.

mind traps affecting traders

There is a lot of educational information on google search about mind traps and also pdfs.The same mind traps apply to trading.

There is an underlying layer of consciousness—call it the automatic mind—that processes information automatically without conscious awareness. We engage our automatic mind in virtually everything we do. While putting on a trade , for example, our conscious attention may be focused on what so-and-so said today while our automatic mind is fast at work continually calibrating the movements of our hands on the mouse . We shift seamlessly to conscious attention whenever the need arises ("Better get to the right. My exit is coming up."), but otherwise we execute thousands of discrete movements of hand with little if any direct awareness of them. Think about it: Are you aware of how many times you entered and exited trades without any reasons?

I was wondering if I could get opinions on trading the uk Market during the General Election?

I have traded political news in the past but I think I was just lucky😅. I'm more of a fundermental trader for mid-term.

I just wanted to know people's thought process when trading the news and what to look at before making a short term trade.

Any thoughts or opinions welcome!

World War 3

I am expecting Ronald to have located his fleet by the end of this week and be close to North Korea.
Surely NK leaves the US little choice but to attack it's nuclear and missile assets. There is a small chance some sane people in NK will topple the lunatic Kim family and defuse the crisis but it's probably wishful thinking.

Position trading stocks

Hey guys, long time member and lurker here.

I have some funds , but want a proper forward test of my method I've slowly been developing over the years . Essentially I am looking for strong trending stocks on their weekly charts, waiting for a base breakout and buying a very small pullback , and using a mechanical Ema strategy for the exit .

The aim is to beat bank interest . Here goes . I am going to risk 1% per trade, with a maximum of 5 trades open at once .

Google Spreadsheet for real time market data from 52 exchanges and coinmarketcap

Recently I made a Google Spreadsheet for myself to monitor my portfolio of cryptocurrencies and market data .
What it can do:

1. Monitoring of prices in real time. 14 exchanges are supported: *BitFinex, Bitstamp,Bittrex,Bleutrade,BTC-E,C-Cex,Cex IO,Exmo,HitBTC,Indacoin,Kraken,Kuna,Livecoin,Polon iex,YoBit* - You can get average price or "specific exchange" price.
2. Send message to Telegram in case if the price hits the "goal"
3. Have functions to convert to any Ticker to currency: "AUD", "BRL", "CAD", "CHF", "CNY", "EUR", "GBP", "HKD", "IDR", "INR", "JPY", "KRW", "MXN", "RUB"
4. Pulls up the current table for all currencies from coinmarketcap
5. Pulls up a list of new coins that appear on exchanges (from coinmarketcap)
6. Get market data for 700+ coins from coinmarketcap. You can easy get these data for any coin using simple function =cmc(asset,option): id,name,symbol,rank,price_usd,price_btc,24h_volume _usd,market_cap_usd,available_supply,total_supply, percent_change_1h,percent_change_24h,percent_chang e_7d,last_updated
7. Get a real time balances from poloniex (polo only)

Google Spreadsheet works in the cloud (for free). There is no need to have a server. The entire installation is to just make a copy of table to your Google Drive.

I have tried to did everything as simple as possible. Everyone will be able to reconfigure by itself. Who wants the same spreadsheet - touch me in PM @acosmos
Guys, this is not a freebie stuff.

Difference between amateurs and professionals

Professional trader:Good trading is boring , I have nothing to do all week except wait wait wait patiently , for the righ entry

Professionals understand trading phsychology

Amateur :Good trading is exciting: being scalped 3 times a day , then taking small profits and large losses getting scalped.Stress is good ,Let's say you're walking down a path and a tiger jumps out at you. Instantly, you perceive a threat and adrenaline is released. The tiger emotions is exciting , you fear ,get attacked by market , then I win .It is more like the exciting chase before the sex.

Amateurs are driven by their emotions , stress ,mistakes and ambitions , they don't understand trading psychology.

Sods Law

Hi All

Is it just me or is it sods law that when everything looks good to make a trade the market struggles to get even 10 points in your direction but rockets to 40 points in the opposite direction. Maybe a new strategy should be to reverse what you plan to do

Best Thread: ETFs for 2017

An ETF trades exactly like a stock does on the trading exchange, expect that the investment is made into a portfolio of securities. There could be as little as 20 or 30 different stocks within the ETF, or even hundreds. Right off the bat, a key advantage is that the investment is diversified among different stocks and sectors.

Before investing in ETFs check the below points:
1) The holdings within the ETFs
2) The history of dividend payment
3) MER

Some of the best dividend ETFs are:
Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF
Powershares S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility Portfolio

Any inputs?

Strategy?

For those interested in Tullow Oil

Here are my findings.

(P.S. All data got converted back to British Pounds.)

The company has been through a rough three-year patch that saw long-term shareholders lost all capital appreciation dating back to 2006!
Recently, Tullow Oil asked its shareholders to fork out $750m in a Rights Issue at a discount of £1.30/share.
Is this the turning point for Tullow and a change in fortune for its shareholders?
First, Tullow’s shares didn’t initially fall because of collapsing oil price. It fell because operating profits collapsed to £245m in 2013 from £700m, along with large capex spending in the future.
But declining oil price did exacerbate the shares lower by another 60% from £6-£7 per share.

To explain my answers in a concise and clear answer I want to dissect Tullow Oil into two sections:
1. Operational;
2. External.

Operational

(Period discussed is from 2006): -

A. Tullow Oil spends £9.6bn in finding the replacement of oil sold and building up its reserves.
That resulted in oil reserves & resources increasing by 686m to 1,193m. Given that Tullow sold 243m over this period, then the capital spend per barrel is £9.6bn ($14bn) divided by 929m = $15 per barrel.
The $15 per barrel capex doesn’t include the operational costs of extracting the oil on an annual basis. Add in operational costs per barrel, the cost of oil totals $71.9 per barrel in 2016.

B. Despite the big spend, sales volume of oil increased by 2,600 bopd, a 5% growth.
C. Despite years of producing oil, Tullow Oil has rarely generated positive free cash flow. In fact, it lost a total of £4.4bn. http://ift.tt/2pBfpZK (Data from Tullow Oil annual report)
D. Last year, oil production came to 71,700 bopd in 2016. A year ago, it gave a production for 2016 of between 78,000 to 87,000 bopd, a 10%-24% miss.
One big reason is down to its Jubilee field in Ghana. That oil field contributes around 26,000 bopd to Tullow Oil (or, around 35% of total oil production).
E. With this year oil production guidance of 88,000 bopd, it already downgraded this by 5,000 bopd.
F. As mentioned earlier, the level of total debt grew from £214m to £4bn, while sales doubled.

External Factors
Now, for the external factor, mainly the role of WTI/Brent Oil.

(Unless stated this period is from 2011)

The collapse in oil price has affected Tullow Oil business in the following ways:
A. Tullow generated sales of 25 pence for every pound it holds in assets. Now, it does 10 pence.
B. With capital turnover, Tullow is returning less than half of its investment.
C. Net cash earnings fell to £417m from a peak of £1.1bn.
D. Tullow, also written-off impairment charges totalling £5bn.
E. In 2016, half the oil was hedge at $75 per barrel, this enables the firm not to experience the full impact of adverse oil prices. Today, it can only get $60 per barrel for 45% of oil production.

For 2017

Reasons to be optimistic are: -

A. Capex spending cut to $500m this year, down from $900m last year.
B. Hopefully, it could achieve higher oil production of at least 80,000 bopd.
C. OPEC oil production cut to maintain oil prices.

Reasons to be pessimistic are: -

A. This year oil hedge is 20% lower than 2016, it puts pressure on margins.
B. U.S. oil production dampening price increase. http://ift.tt/2pAWDEB

C. Further operational production disruption possible.
D. The North Korean crisis looking likely as both sides won’t back down. That would dampen trade and economic activities.
E. New share outstanding of 1.38m values Tullow at £3bn. It would limit any gains in the share price.

Succesful trading :The physical gold trader

The phsysical gold trader carries a stock of gold of $2,000,000 in his vaults , the gold price drops by 50% , he has losses of $1 m on the value of gold stock.His gold stock went up from $400, 000 to $1.7m , when gold rose from $400 to $1700.He never uses a stop loss , but trades his gold stock daily ,taking in some short positions hedged by options.Every year he makes about $200,000 with the up and down movements in the markets , without leverage..He never loses .

He is not gambling example price of x stocks is going to rise , place a bet black on the stock , this is like going to a casino placing red (price going down ) black (price going up).:lol:He has the patience to hold his gold stock until it offers him some profit and replaces sold stock at a lower price.

He has no pychological demons or handicaps , he does not fear anything .He can use leverage and get $500,000 a year by using 40 to 1 leverage.He can hold his gold stock for his pension .He is in the 5% club of profitable traders , compared to the trading lottery ticket buyers with a 25 tick stop loss.:smart:

The trading industry vendors like you to believe , you are trading , but in fact you are gambling .The same above model of the gold trader is being applied by a dax futures trader .

THERE IS SOMETHING TO LEARN.Let us see your views.

Looking for historic P/E, CAPE, P/B, Div/Yield data from around 1960- any market?

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Wondering if someone can either share, or direct me to a place where I can obtain historic value data, basically any market/index/exchange could be used.

I am currently writing a dissertation for my MBA. My topic is the effect of networked technology on the opportunities for value investing in developed and emerging markets.

I require historical information such as P/E, CAPE, P/B and Div/Yield for US, UK and any emerging markets.

I've done the S&P historically from pre-1900, I've found charts for the FTSE but lacking the data points to further analyse. I noticed the div/yield data shared a few threads below but there is no source so unfortunately, unusable in that form.

Also managed to find current world market data for P/E, CAPE, P/B & Div/Yield but any historic data pre-1990 is impossible to find.

Is this something anyone is able to help with, please?

Thanks and regards,

Stuart

Wide Stops

Hi All

Hope you are well and enjoying the ups and downs (ohhh err missus)

Just a thought on stops , I often hear " I use a wide stop" or "I use a use a tight stop" however if day trading what is considered a wide stop. I personally use a 20 point stop but still get stopped out very regular and I always thought that my stop was quite wide. What kind of stops do you guys use ?

Subconscious Errors.

In our family we're big on the mind.

Our Nan paid for us to have psychology lessons when we were kids.

Our Nan is a financial genius, it goes back generations.

Our Nan flies private all the time.

Think Jane Fonda, not Dowager Duchess, Downton Abbey.

Think Yoga, Vegetarianism.

We still have family share certificates dating back to Jonathan's Coffee-House London.

Everybody is prone to making errors of judgement, most people make more and bigger errors than some.

If you've got to get out of a warm bed and commute to work then your probably the victim of generations of subconscious errors.

Although most people will instantly reject that concept when told it. Especially the ones that have to get out of that warm bed.

And if that's you, then you've just made a subconscious error. Easy isn't it!

The Error...

You probably think you are rational, logical person who makes smart decisions most of the time.

The Fact...

You are not as smart as you think you are, you make lots of mistakes and your social economic position in society reflects this.


Subconscious Errors.

What others think

I have been a student and participant in the market for a very very long time. I bought my first stock when I was 13 years old and I'm now 50. I have blown up a couple of accounts trading the Mini S&p as that seems to be normal for most. I have been in simulation mode now for over six months and I'm doing well. I have fixed my errors of the past by using bracket orders 100 percent of the time. This ensures that my stop and exit are preset and are actual limit orders placed when I take a trade.

Ok great. My denima is what those closest to me will say when I go live again. Granted they know almost nothing about how trading works, but I value their support and they care about me.

Who else has dealt with this? Any advice?

Help with day trading

Hello,
I am not new to trading, but have time now to spend more time on it. I have been trying day trading with inconsistent results. I have allocated a $30,000.00 account for this purpose. My intent was to keep that as my principal and draw off the profits. I use ThinkorSwim as a trading platform and have written many thinkscript studies and strategies that seem to work for a short time and then fail to perform. The drawdown on my account has brought me very close to the $25,000.00 pattern day trading account minimum. Sorry for the long post, but I thought a little history might help.
What I am trying to accomplish is to only trade 3-4 stocks per morning session, preferably from 9:00am to 11:00am cst. I would like to average at least $200.00 per day. I would only need to scalp 1 to 2 % to accomplish this.
If there is anyone with information on any strategies, screeners, stock lists to pull high probability stocks from, services, newsletters or any information at all, it would be greatly appreciated. I am not trying to get rich quick, just earn a few extra bucks to supplement my SS.
Thank you in advance

Most back testing is useless

If back testing on excel ,manual back testing or using automated software , then applying it on manual trading ,it will be totally inefficient back testing.This is because backtesting has no emotions , stress or any phsychological handicaps being back tested .Backtesting in such an inappropriate environment without emotions , stress or any phsychological handicaps , for which it will not be used , is useless and the dumb trading industry does it .

Results are much worse on actual trading .Most people can not replicate demo results or back testing results on live accounts.On live accounts ,trading psychology , execution liquidity and human commands element is involved


Traders have zero edge , unless you have a mental edge .All your illusionary edges are worth zero , if you can't execute your edge.

Exploiting Profitable Trending Patterns

Hi, and welcome to my thread.

Here I will be sharing how I use Elliott Wave to help provide me a road map for m trades in the markets and specific trades I look for and strategies I deploy.

The first thing I think needs to be understood in trading is it can ever be easy but you should endeavour to make it as simple as possible.

Elliott wave can be a complicated theory but it can be also be simplified.

There is a lot of discretion in the various guidelines of Elliot but there are only three simple hard and fast rules.

1 - Wave two must not retrace 100% of wave one.

2 - Wave three must not be the shortest and is usually the longest.

3 - Wave 4 must not overlap with wave one.



Click the image to open in full size.

All these three rules do is ensure we are remaining in a valid trending pattern of higher highs and higher lows.

This is why they are not only important, but critical, since Elliot is a trend following methodology.



Outside of this, there are three main things to be remembered when using Elliott.

1 - In itself, Elliot wave is not a trading strategy. It is only an aid.

2 - Elliot wave is a fractal pattern, so if we have waves on larger cohorts , we should find smaller version of them inside smaller charts.

3 - Elliott wave will not be present in all charts, you will not be able to make the theory fit to everything.


There is an abundance of free training on the theory of Elliott wave easily available to you by searching the internet, so this will not be an Elliott wave theory tutorial.

Instead it will be focusing specifically on how to exploiting the pattern for profit.


In following posts, we will cover;

1 - Optimum entry opportunities in a Elliot cycle.

2 - Knowing where to place hard stops in an Elliot cycle.

3 - Knowing where to trail stops and/or take profit in an Elliot cycle.

4 - Creative methods of money management/trade management in an Elliot cycle.

5 - Different styles of trading a cycle (eg, swing trading vrs shorter term scalping)

6 - Live analysis and results tracking of methodologies being deployed.


I will update this thread as often as time permits, so subscribe and check back for updates.


Exploiting Profitable Trending Patterns

Gold and Silver for Life

Came across the above 'strategy' by a Minesh Bhindi offered as a course costing about $15k!!! You read that right $15k (either you pay outright, or you pay about $6k now and pay the balance when you make $100k in profit). As far as I am concerned, the financial markets have been around for hundred of years and I don't believe there actually any new strategy out there that's never been done before. What these self-proclaimed gurus do is rehash, repackage and gloss over already existing strategies and sell it to the unsuspecting public for thousands of pounds. What is quite annoying about it is that they all claim that they are making buckets load of money and are just trying to give back to the community and help the common man against the supposed greedy institutions. Who exactly is greedy here!

Anyways, from what I can glean from his website, it basically involves buying gold and silver at below market value, and generating monthly income from them whilst waiting for the price to go up, so looks like some kind of options trading is involved. So just wanted to know whether anybody has an idea what this 'his strategy' might be about (i.e. how he might buy the gold and silver 'below market value', and how he generates monthly income from them -though option selling or what?), as I am sure it is nothing new, just probably not common knowledge out there, and I am always looking few new angles, as you never stop learning in this game. Thanks

Hello,

Could this be possible? A strategy that is easy to learn and gives you 70% on a growing year. And 30% ROI on a minus year , a year where the stock market goes down. Is this possible for options or is it too good to be true?At incredibly low risk


Can this be possible?

when i go to sell to someone they said if ur system is profitable why dont u work at home ..take loan or sale your property etc
when 1 have something to sell with high cost people say (sorry if no proof no purchase . atleast give us back tests)
when i go with back test people say "back test is cheating every one can make them" >> come with history of demo
when i go with history of demo people say " demo is nothing every one can make profit in demo ">>> come with real history
when i go with real history people say we need atleast 6 month history
when i go with 6 month history they said 6 months are not enough come with 1-2 years history

13th April 2017 - The fear of Trump has started to be materialized on USD and Gold

The gold could extend its rally to be traded now near $1287 per ounce, after last Tuesday surpassing of $1270.50 which stopped it last Friday following the dovish release of Mar US non-farm payrolls which have shown adding only 98k of jobs, while the consensus was referring to gaining 180k.
These are the highest levels of Gold since the Aftermath of Trump's winning of the presidency in US on last Nov. 9 which has been read as good news for Gold "for his aggressive reactions" and bad of the US dollar "for his criticism of its value".
The Gold rose to $1336.33 per ounce following his winning of the presidency, before tumbling to $1122.85 on the reflation optimism and the higher interest rate outlook in US.
The US dollar slide yesterday across the broad came exactly on these same markets expectations, after Trump signaled to Wall Street Journal that it's too strong refraining from naming China currency manipulator.

Monetarily, The Gold could find it easy to record gains versus the greenback, after The FOMC's last meeting minutes of last March have shown serious talking this time about unwinding the Fed's portfolio of treasuries and mortgage backed securities, not just reference to this holding as what has happened in the previous meetings minutes.
The Fed's balance sheet is containing now $4.5 trillion, After 3 Fed's QE rounds for propping up the US economy because of the credit crisis.
As The Fed has kept until now the principal of repurchasing these financial securities it holds on their maturities.
This considered action by the FOMC can give it leeway to slow its hiking of the interest further to be satisfied by tightening the Fed's holding of these financial securities somehow.
As New York Fed President William Dudley said that shrinking the Fed's $4.5 trillion bond portfolio would prompt only a "little pause" in the Fed's rate hike plans keeping market expectation of more than one rate increase this year alive.

But this waited action which can be considered a tightening action can be later looking a must during the Fed's current tightening cycle, but it should be done by a gradual way can be prematurely expected.
While the FOMC's members talking about that crucial subject is still looking to the market participants in a preliminary phase for testing the markets reactions.
The Fed can manage to reverse this twist by lower its Bonds maturities or stopping its reinvestment in the US debt.

After the Fed has made what's named an "Operation Twist" program in late 2011 and 2012 to stimulate the economy by buying longer term Treasuries selling some of its holding of short term treasuries for pressing on the long term treasuries yields in the secondary market.
The operation twist has been taken place in 2 rounds. The first has been from September 2011 till June of 2012 and its value was $400 billion, while The second has been from July 2012 to December 2012 and its value was $267 billion.
The Fed’s now holding $426 billion of Treasuries maturity in 2018 and also $352 billion for 2019.

The US administration has indicated this week that there could be also reaction against the exploding barrels using in Syria against civilians.
While Russia and Iran said in accompanied statement that "US has crossed the Red Line by its illegal military reaction which came without investigation reminding the world by its military attack against Iraq in 2003 for fake chemical weapons existence in Iraq.

The oil prices could be boosted by this tension in the middle east which can threat the supplies from it, while the odds of extending the OPEC's cut was underpinning the prices
After Kuwait and other countries supported prolonging the production cuts that are scheduled to expire in June, as the Persian Gulf emirate’s Oil Minister Issam Almarzooq said.
While the strategy of US in this phase is still the same dampening the prices by overwhelming production, driving its rigs utilization up, raising its inventories up further to new highs.

The far east was not in a better situation, after escalating between US and North Korea, after Trump has indicated in a new message of him on Twitter that "the Chinese help will be appreciated but "US would solve the problem with North Korea with or without China"
His message has already come after US has moved also naval warships from Australia not to Japan sea but to South Korea directly which means that it is taking attacking position.

The US 10 year note yield has fallen yesterday to its lowest level since last Nov. 17 reaching 2.26% on the current lower interest rate outlook and the mounting geopolitical concerns which spurred demand for fixed assets.
The Gold could be more attractive by the current lower yields in the US money market, while the demand for it can continue to be boosted by the risk-off sentiment could gather more momentum this week following Trump's military reactions in the middle east and the far east.

With this dovish market sentiment, the Japanese yen could be the most buoyed currency this week, as this low yield financing currency could be supported by unwinding of the carry trades putting more pressure on Nikkei 225 which is already depressed by the US equities losses.


USDJPY has touched in the beginning of today Asian session its daily SMA200 by reaching 108.72
After failing to get back above 110 psychological level to be satisfied by reaching 109.87, whereas it has started to accelerate its slide to the current level.
The pair has already failed to get over its daily SMA20 again by forming a lower high at 111.58 below its peak at 112.20 which has been formed on last Mar. 31.
The pair is now in a closer place to 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the rise from its bottom which has been formed following Trumps winning of the presidency at 101.21 to 118.67 which has been reached on last Dec.15.
USDJPY is now in its fifth day of being below its daily Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, maximum 0.2) which is reading today 111.83.
USDJPY daily RSI-14 is referring now to existence inside its oversold area below 30 reading 27.597.
USDJPY daily Stochastic Oscillator (5, 3, 3) which is more sensitive to the volatility is having now its main line also in its oversold region below 20 at 2.546 leading to the downside its signal line which is existing in the same region at 18.064.

Why do succesful traders hang around forums?

Patience is not simply the ability to wait - it's how we behave while we're waiting.Patience is necessary, and one cannot reap immediately where one has sown.search on google and youtube videos for Trading is a patience game


Succesful traders are patient ,they need to keep their mind occupied (while waiting for entries)with non-trading activities ,killing time is boring , so just post on forum.We are not meant to be doing nothing , our phsyche will attack us for sitting and doing nothing.Forums contributions can stimulate our reward pathways adequately if we are to function well emotionally, mentally and physically.Just posting on forums is can stimulate reward pathways , I achieved something.

The practice of patience toward one another, the overlooking of one another's defects, and the bearing of one another's burdens is the most elementary condition of all human and social activity in the family, in the professions, and in society.

http://ift.tt/2psbgGH

.Why would a succesful trader hang out on forum and be bombarded by advertising?Why would he? He has nothing or not much to learn from it and is likely to be mightily annoyed by the silly posturing of vendors desperately trying to impress their customers or market some gear.


we have to get a certain amount of pleasure and stimulation or rewards from our daily activities and what we put into our bodies. If we don't, then we create a pleasure deficit or what is known as "reward deficiency," and are subject to depression, anxiety and poor performance. Each day we have to stimulate our reward pathways adequately if we are to function well emotionally, mentally and physically.

There is a conflict between patience required to wait for the high probability entry , and our phsyche , we can not be sitting idle doing nothing.High probability trading requires sitting patiently

12th April 2017 - Safe haven resurgent demand, before Tillerson's Moscow visit

The risk-off sentiment could gather more momentum this week ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's visit to Moscow which has become mainly to convince the Russian side to stop supporting of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime as he said in Italy during the foreign ministers meeting of G7 in Italy.
This visit comes following series of aggressive jawboning between the 2 sides, after chemical attack against civilians in Syria drove Trump to take a military reaction against the Syrian government.
Before taking his military reaction, Trump said that "Assad has crossed the red line and all the lines"!
During this week in an accompanied responding Russia and Iran said that US has crossed the Red Line by its illegal military reaction which came without investigation reminding the world by its military attack against Iraq in 2003 for fake chemical weapons existence in Iraq.
The new US administration has indicated this week too before this visit that there could be also reaction against the exploding barrels randomized using in Syria against civilians, after last week US missiles attack on Syrian airbases.
Russia said that there could be targeting of the south of Damascus by US.

The markets are still evaluating the consequences which can result from this conflict, while most expectations are still referring to avoiding of direct clashes between the US troops and the Russian troops in Syria anyway.
Trump's reaction has been welcomed by EU, UK , Turkey, Persian gulf Arab countries and the Syrian opposition militias which are looking for longer hitting of the governmental targets.

The situation in the far east is looking also escalating between US and North Korea, after Trump's message on Twitter that "US would solve the problem with North Korea with or without China"
US has moved also naval warships from Australia not to Japan sea but to South Korea directly which means that it is taking attacking position.

I should mention here that Trump winning of the presidency in US on last Nov. 9 has been read as good news for Gold "for his aggressive reactions" and bad of the US dollar "for his criticism of its value" and that what has been materialized later.
The Gold rose to $1336.33 per ounce following his winning of the presidency, before coming down to $1122.85 on the reflation optimism and the higher interest rate outlook in US.

The current dovish market sentiment drove the US treasuries yields down placing US 10 Year note yield below 1.30% on increasing safe haven demand for treasuries.
The Yen as a low yield financing currency could be supported across the broad on usual unwinding of carry trades putting more pressure on Nikkei 225 which is already depressed by the US equities losses.
The Gold could reach in the beginning of today Asian session $1276.30, after yesterday surpass of $1270.50 which stopped it last Friday following the dovish release of Mar US non-farm payrolls which have shown adding only 98k of jobs, while the consensus was referring to gaining 180k.

The gold which could contain its falling to $1195.80 has become underpinned technically further by getting over its daily SMA200, after surpassing its peak at $1263.83 which has been formed during a meeting with this average on last Feb. 27.
The gold is now in its second day of being above its daily Parabolic SAR (step 0.02, maximum 0.2) which is reading today $1247.10.
After forming another higher low at $1239.68 above its low at $1195.80 which has come after forming a higher bottom on last Jan. 27 at $1180.53 to come by its turn above its previously formed bottom on last Dec. 15 at $1122.85.
XAUUSD daily RSI-14 is referring now to existence inside its overbought area above 70 reading 70.657.
XAUUSD daily Stochastic Oscillator (5, 3, 3) which is more sensitive to the volatility is having now also its main line in its overbought region above 80 at 80.102 leading to the upside its signal line which is still existing in the neutral region at 62.183.



Important levels: Daily SMA50 @ $1237.68, Daily SMA100 @ $1206.71 and Daily SMA200 @ $1257.44
S&R:
S3: $1239.68

The High-Flyer's Porsche Strategy

I once read a story about a poor guy in New York challenging a young, apparently-wealthy trader getting into his Porsche parked at the kerbside. The trader, possibly in options, only took a couple of years to achieve his success. The poor guy stated that he subsequently took the hint, copied his mentor's strategy and achieved a similar level of success. An illustration of 'getting rich quick', or a fishy tale ... I don't know, except that fortunes are made and lost in big city financial markets.

My question here is: for those not content to just wager, say, 1% of their pot, per trade, on a spread bet account (i.e. slow and steady) -- but willing to take higher risks, what options (figuratively and literally) are available in the trading scene? It would appear the above example is one of a trader working on generous commissions for a financial services company handling very large deposits and trades; hence the big rewards. Are these out-of-reach of the home-based trader working on his own account, or genuinely possible if his deposit (and nerves) are strong enough? Could anyone give me an idea of risk-to-reward ratios, pot-size and instruments which the big DMA (direct market access) traders work around? Thank you.

Wild swings

Today was really odd on both dax and ft100 as when all the signs were buy it went 40 points the other and the same when signs were sell. Call me suspicious but when I placed a sell and buy at the same time nothing happened and soon as one order closed a very quick movement against the trade open. Had my doubts about IG for a while but def think a rabbit off. Anyone else see wild swings today or is it just me
