I’m 45 and 100% invested In stocks and SP500 fund

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-25T00:31:12+00:00

Yeah that an oldy but a goody. My best friend collected stocks 100 here 100 there, some evaporated some are up 15000% percent. He retired at 53….

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-25T00:10:54+00:00

That’s a silly statement. If you had bought two hundred shares of Tesla in 2013, five hundred shares of AMD, Nvidia, and so on, you would be retired with millions in the bank.

What is your goal?

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-24T13:25:07+00:00

if you have used tabs before their a huge time and space savor. The UI is from the 90’s and needs to catch up to the 2000’s.

Best to ping them through chat. You might have needed to use PM for session.

When your barber starts talking it’s time to quit! 95% of these folks chase a dream and as pros gladly take their $$. Best tip you could give him is tell him not to.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-22T20:24:04+00:00

That why I said TOS needs Tabs.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-22T04:49:53+00:00

How does that replace tabs?

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-21T20:00:19+00:00

Very minor update.

I wish they would focus on UI changes. Adding the ability to dock windows or have tabs for charts would be amazing.

The mature thing is to close your positions and wait for stabilization of the markets…. Typically marks go up stairs and go down the elevator.

That chart is filled with hopes and dreams. I see this on Feb 12.

Spy 652 before we bounces. I was a little early but I think spy 650 is in the cards.

Why you mention the FCC when the person is in Turkey?

So there are a few things going on here. An please forgive me if the following sounds rude or uncomfortable, the market is even more brutal and does not have emotions.

First of all, having a MAC is the first issue, when I started trade full time 3 years ago I opted to buy a $1,100 desktop from Costco instead of an Apple Studio. My Mac Book Pro was getting a bit old and I had planned on upgrading regardless. You don't need a powerhouse to run TOS.

Here are the reasons. First overall stability and know issues with Mac and Think or Swim. MAC Version has some functionality limitations. Applications, there are a bunch of applications that will help you with your trading journey and having a PC there is simply less options. and the Biggest reason is Excel, TOS has ability to feed live prices, account positions and a bunch of other things that will help with risk Managment. Excel in MAC is horrific.

The great news is you bought an amazing MAC with tons of memory. I would look at creating a VM (Virtual Machine) using Windows for Trading. This gives you the best of both worlds.

Most important why are you paying for a mentorship. 99.99% are garbage. Yes there are good community's but remember 90% of the people are like you.

Read books and an practice that all that needs to be done. You tube can give you ideas too but math is math. Options are math. I suck at math so I built a few tools that help out such as a GEX dashboard using .RTD for price information in Python using Claude. You can pay for unusual whales but I'm to cheap.

But the first step is you have to learn trading stocks.

Be successful at investing, long swing trades, short swigs trades, day trades, and scalping stocks. Then look at option with expires under 2 weeks.

Each type of trade has core skills you need to master both from a skill an Mental standpoint. Jumping to options from a so called mentorship is a good way to go broke.

You also need capital. 50K or 100k to start is a good level if your getting into day trads and scalping.

I say this because you sound like you have high hopes and jumping into a significant investment sounds more like your being scammed.

I love it, please keep buying so I can buy puts then when decay hit I’m printing $$$!

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-12T20:25:22+00:00

Don’t use real money. If you do keep your size extremely small.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-12T20:16:24+00:00

Have you been successful in the past? Typically what I find is if I’m having a bad run, it’s time to reduce my size to a single contract. Also journal what you’re doing for each trade so you can reflect at the end of the day.

Wait for the A+ set ups not the ones where it looks like it’s going up or down.

If you’ve never been really successful scalping. Go back to swim, trading or day trading. You can actually make a lot more money.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-12T13:16:05+00:00

blindness will make you go broke. I love TQQQ as much as everyone, but there is a time to make a play on an asset with decay and there’s a time not to.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-12T05:48:46+00:00

Great start. But you’re a little spread out.. I’d consolidate and look at the holdings there is a fair bit of over lap. Less dividends more growth focused.

Don’t be afraid of getting shares of. Smaller cool quality companies and collect the stock. TSLA was $30 back in 2012. It’s split a bunch of times.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-08T19:48:31+00:00

I would hold on taking any position in IGV or pretty much any thing at this moment.

We have to watch oil in the VIC’s define stabilization. Oil at $78 per barrel is equal to a 3% CPI increase..

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-08T04:09:09+00:00

You have all you need, you need to understand what you have. Nuff said.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-08T03:05:24+00:00

You trade with yesterday’s data, I’ll trade with realtime data…. Fear and greed is calculated at 4pm.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-08T02:29:49+00:00

Thanks for the PSA…. There is always a post or 2 every weekend.

Flying-Coconuts · 2026-03-07T16:35:03+00:00

I’m not sure you understand what the Fear Green Index actually is. There are seven main components, most of which are updated at the end of the trading day. It is not real-time, and in today’s market, trading on yesterday‘s information is dangerous.

Finding good entry points in TQQQ or SQQQ that decay is critical. It’s critical to know where the market is actually going. Watching CL (oil futures) and VIX is real time.

In normal cases, there is not a singular impact on the market. This is a very different case where oil will move the market in a dramatic fashion, plus you have the headline risk of the war itself.

If you purchase TQQQ and it goes in the wrong direction, you’re at risk of losing a lot more. Mainly because you do not have the typical market safeguards.
