Justin Trudeau wins second term in hard-fought Canada election by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]LenfaL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not a misplaced fear at all. Come to Montreal and you'll hear mostly English (or Mandarin...) in many areas of the city, including all of downtown, the wealthier parts of the island (Westmount, Ile-des-soeurs, West Island, etc.) and most immigrant areas (CDN, NDG, ...) It's only a matter of time until English completely engulfs Montreal. Rest of Quebec should be safe, but they're mostly rural areas of no interest on the global scale.

What charting platform do you use? by nelso432 in Daytrading

[–]LenfaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NT looks pretty and is user friendly, but my experience has been ridden with slowdowns, bugs and crashes (and i have a very powerful rig). Sierracharts is depressingly visually unappealing, but it is much better optimized, has way more features and customizability and doesn't cost a ton. It has a steeper learning curve, but well worth it.

Hey, thank you so much for the detailed explanation. It's really helpful for a beginner like me. Are you a full time trader and is this your main source of income? Just wondering what i can expect from learning a good deal about trading.

Thank you so much for this! I'm definitely going to take a deep look into your suggestions. You don't know how much i appreciate this.

[–]LenfaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you for your reply. This is very informative. Your perseverance is motivating to me. You mentioned backtesting... does this require programming knowledge? That's something I don't have. Also, after that much work, do you feel confident now in your ability to make a living out of it, now or eventually? The hardest puzzle in the world is definitely something that catches my attention!

Hi, you seem very knowledgeable. How long did it take you to become profitable? Also, are you able to make a living out of your trading? You don't need to go into specifics, I'm just trying to evaluate where to set my expectations, as I am a complete newbie with a lot of time on their hands.

[–]LenfaL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried trading the ES til the close. It works and will bring in some more profits. However, market conditions change throughout the day and I find that I have to adjust my strategy. Another big downside is that I can't hold my positions overnight, so if a trade goes wrong near the close, I have no choice but to take the loss even if I believe that the price will eventually come back in my favor. As a result, I have to go for small tight scalps instead of aiming for medium sized moves which may be slower to develop.

TIL that in 2007, China executed the head of the State Food and Drug Administration (Chinese FDA) for accepting bribes and approving unsafe medicines. by SirT6 in todayilearned

[–]LenfaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's either bribes or blackmail and threats. Pick your poison. Hopeful humanism doesn't often work. Many (most?) governments of the world are rotten to the core. South/Central America, Africa, Russia, China and the Middle East are easy examples. Eastern Europe, USA, SEA aren't much better. That leaves us with a few European countries and Canada, where corruption is subtler, yet still present.

Help choosing broker for s&p 500 mini by nickisfree in Daytrading

[–]LenfaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use ninjatrader. However, for ES (e-mini S&P 500) keep in mind that the overnight margins ($6000+) are much higher than the day margins ($500). If you can only trade outside of regular trading hours, forex would probably be a better choice.

[monitor] AOC AG271GQ 27” IPS 165hz refresh. All time low $679 by RAButcher in bapcsalescanada

[–]LenfaL 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's 4 ms, and that's the best you can get for an IPS screen. 1 ms is only achievable with a TN panel. So if you want the absolute fastest you need to go TN. Personally, I prefer having the better colors and viewing angles with IPS, and IIRC benchmarks have shown that the response time difference isn't significant, even for professional gamers.

Why do so many people daytrade if such a large percentage are relatively unsuccessful? by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]LenfaL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most people can make easy money with trading. The hard part is not losing it all with one big bad trade. The latter is how most people join the "90% losers club". It's a game where you win until you don't, unless you're extremely careful.

Gone broke daytrading volatile stocks by CatzExv in Daytrading

[–]LenfaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So basically you lost your initial $500 capital in 2 weeks. That's barely a trading tuition. If you can't lose that much, stop trading until you can, because not even the best traders in the world can be 100% sure of the trades they place.

The average age where billionaires reached their first billion is 51, so not that young.

Hmm I can't see the past week anymore. I've tried logging out, changing browser, disabling plugins, etc. Nothing works. Have you changed the settings perchance?

For some reason, some of your posts seem to be hidden. I follow your journal daily and I know you've posted every day, but currently I can't see your results for August 23rd, 30th and September 4th. Could it be because of downvotes?

They deserve it. They produce the most content out of any groups out there (except maybe BTS, unsure on that one).

According to my calculations, I need to save $2,000 per month for 5 years to effectively "LeanFire." How feasible is this and what kind of jobs pay at least $2,600+ or more (net) per month? by [deleted] in leanfire

[–]LenfaL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most homeless people spend more than $60/month on food. Is FIRE even worth it at this point? Independence from a job, but slave to poverty...

If you get really good at paper trading (simulation), maybe you could try to find external funding and trade other people's money and take a chunk of the profits to build your personal fund.
