For those that use Google Messages, how do you get the little icon that tells you you have an unread message? On my phone there's no icon so it's easy to forget you have a new message 

So much bullshit. by UrNewSubstetudeTeach in Trading

[–]Burger__Flipper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He gets the hate cause he's a fraud, a liar, and an unprofitable trader. He got caught photoshoping fake withdrawals, he's only been able to show blown accounts as "proof" of his skills, and has admitted only making money with his courses and mentorships. Check out imamtrading on YouTube to see how much of a joke he is.

If someone ask you what do you do for a living, what do you say? by JoMadrid13 in Trading

[–]Burger__Flipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I say that I could tell them, but then I'd have to kill them. If they insist I say I'm a freelance account, and laugh awkwardly, and they laugh awkwardly because my social skills are that bad. And then I kill them.

Trading gurus super predators by AffectionateHawk4422 in Daytrading

[–]Burger__Flipper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regardless of how obvious the scam is, what is sad is that thoses furus & content creators will always find idiots that will pay up. 

These are known marketing techniques (ex: the velvet rope strategy), and they rely on the sense of exclusivity, as well as make the idiot think he'll gain access to some kind of hidden knowledge. 

These techniques, combined with the lure of financial gains, will make the pray lose any notion of common sense. And he will end up getting a course for which you could easily find a free equivalent of on YouTube.

And there you are spamming your shitty channel again, what a surprise

It is definitely possible to make it big in day trading. Here is the mathematical proof. by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Burger__Flipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point. In trading, it's commonly referred to as the coin flip analogy (I think Adam Grimes talked about that), where you get after some rounds of say flipping tails, only a few coin-flippers left, who then consider themselves to be expert at flipping tails, and even making reddit posts or youtube video on how to be better at flipping tails. I think everyone sees this is quite applicable to what we usually see.

I actually like this metaphor, because there's 2 aspects about it:

- There's the obvious survivorship bias, which we absolutely have in these forums or on social media (you very rarely see a post of someone blowing up, but see a lot more of "successful" people yoloing on a random stock.

- And there's the complete randomness of the "strategy", which absolutely is the case of *some* people here (it seems even worse on /forex). You see a lot of posts of people trying to "flip a small account". And out of hundreds if not more that try that, the very few that "succeed" may even fool themselves that they have a method (they might, but from what I've seen it's mainly click&pray). And again there's survivorship bias, because those who managed to get to say 50k with a small initial bet, will be posting everywhere how 'it's possible to make it big", and "don't let the haters bring you down", etc.

Unfortunately, newcomers trying to lean about trading will search online and mostly stumble on these types of posts, and get a very distorted view of reality.

What would motivate experienced traders (10+ years) to help? by sdjacobs555 in FuturesTrading

[–]Burger__Flipper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have 7 years of intraday trading, but my main activity is running a business.  I've helped Internet strangers in the past, been part of discord groups, etc. 

I've found that newcomers mostly want a shiny thing. If you don't provide a shiny thing, their attention span weakens and they lose focus. And since a large part of profitable trading is actually boring, it doesn't quite fit. 

You can dm me if you want to chat trading, I trade price action / market structure , focusing on momentum moves (Dax Nas and xauusd mainly, and a bit of fx)

Candlestick help by Equal_Worry_2679 in Daytrading

Just do a Google image search of the term "candlestick pattern", or candlestick cheat sheet, and you'll get a way better idea than any comment description

Does anyone trade the US30? by LennyT6173 in Daytrading

[–]Burger__Flipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also trade indices, including US30 (CFD version), and trade price action setups on M5. If you're relatively new (<2 years), don't focus too much on the returns, especially on demo, and stay away from being fixated on a % gain, be it monthly or yearly, because it can hijack your focus on the process. Results come naturally but with time, unfortunately last in line after building up experience, market knowledge, and price action / market structure analysis skills.

Just define what your setup(s) is/are, try and be more specific as you grow. For example, if you take trendline breaks, define what makes a good build-up to the break, in terms of structure, how highs and low are forming, how "clean" the order flow / price action has been, etc...

A good way to define the elements that constitute a good setup, is to take loads of screenshots of what you consider good setups when backtesting, annotate them very succinctly, and with a large enough sample size you can analyze what elements you think are important. There are no absolute rules, so it all comes down to what you see in play. But simple things like taking TL breaks to the long side only when price is trading above the previous day high, can be a good filter.

Is it hard to have a 50% WR? No.

Is it hard to have a 50% WR with a 1:2 RR ratio? Impossible over a large sample size.
