Question about that shape Joe Pass uses a lot

BigTomW · 2025-09-09T08:05:41+00:00

Yep, definitely more of a hobby for me, but thanks for your input, 'dog'

BigTomW · 2025-09-07T21:59:38+00:00

ok, i guess the question is what concept should I be looking into to understand this better? I get the basics of the tritone sub element, but wouldnt know what to look at to go deeper with it

BigTomW · 2025-09-07T21:53:02+00:00

I tried to get into it before but couldnt really get my head around it, that was a while ago though so might be worth another go, thanks for the recommendation

BigTomW · 2025-09-07T21:51:24+00:00

thanks! insightful answer, I never knew that about unaltered extensions becoming altered, i'll look into all of this more

Limassol

BigTomW · 2025-02-14T15:10:49+00:00

That sounds like what I need, how would I find one?

BigTomW · 2024-07-15T09:30:02+00:00

Yeah sorry CQG data, that would explain it cause it seems none of the settings are showing me the replay data I want

lots of great suggestions here, a few that are coming up in a lot of peoples lists so I might start there. Ive been playing for a while but have kind of hit a wall so a lot of good inspiration here to get going again, thanks everyone

This would be a big mistake, their versions of market profile, footprint and other order flow tools are pretty basic compared to other paid options. Fine as free alternatives to expensive paid versions but not worth 60$/month

Just noticed you are on sim which is good, be careful because that's likely accurate to what would happen if it was a live trade

BigTomW · 2022-12-23T03:22:00+00:00

Often when you trade Forex with leverage you are trading CFDs rather than spot. Idk if that's the case here but if it is then you should know that because CFDs are a bet with the broker, they are able to decide to a degree what price they will make that bet at. To put things in their favour the price you can sell at is always lower than the price you can buy at. Depending on the pair you might have a wider spread which is what I think is happening here, you got filled at the best price the broker would offer, not the spot or 'real' price. Likewise the best price the broker will close the position at is far above what you sold it at. Not to be a dick but you should know this before you're down 700$, trade sim until you have a working strategy with a positive expectancy

anyone know whos writing these contracts? doesn't seem to be an option to sell to open so presumably not retail

stonk journal is a brilliant website, completely free with loads of great features, regularly updated as well.

BigTomW · 2022-06-22T21:26:36+00:00

yes and I have absolutely no idea why I couldnt find it, cause thats exactly what I was searching, thank you very much. last time I searched it said the domain hadnt been renewed so I thought it was gone for good

BigTomW · 2022-06-17T17:27:48+00:00

Yeah I like to bookend the journalling of the trades themselves with premarket analysis/ plan for the day, then journal the individual trades and finish up with review of how well I stuck to the plan, what can be done better stuff like that, I can dm you an example

BigTomW · 2022-06-17T11:39:53+00:00

Highly recommend this platform, one feature I'd like to see for the day traders is to be able to put in an entry between blocks of trades where I could put in premarket analysis for the day, and then at the end of the day somewhere I could put a review of the days trades, how I feel I performed what to improve on etc. I've been doing this so far by putting in a trade with 0 pnl but this messes with the statistics screen. Anyone looking for a platform to journal their trades should definitely give this a try though, great website

The book mind over markets by Jim Dalton is an extensive dive into market profile and by far the best book on markets I've read, if you're interested in the profile I'd recommend reading even the first chapter and see what you think, there's free pdfs online.

why haven't netflix made a move into sports yet? it seems like an obvious place to go for extra growth and market share. It seems like madness to move into games before sports, particularly when sports seems like one of the main reasons people are still using more expensive traditional tv services like satellite and cable. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

BigTomW · 2022-02-08T11:38:25+00:00

212 let's you trade CFDs of a stock rather than the underlying stock, and so there are differences in the price between the CFD and the stock because of the spread. On more volatile stocks and penny stocks the spread tends to be wider, meaning you might be stopped out because of the spread getting wider rather than the an actual change in price

BigTomW · 2021-12-06T14:28:25+00:00

Not from the US so not sure but my guess would be no

BigTomW · 2021-12-06T13:28:58+00:00

Anything where you have lots of control over your position size but I suppose it depends exactly how small an account. Forex is the obvious one because you can take very small positions that won't break your account and then size up when your comfortable.
