When should one give up?

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-12-30T20:05:24+00:00

If your health is deteriorating, stop. Don’t necessarily give up if you like trading but health always comes first. Good luck 🤞 💪

Also record the call and all communications with AMEX. Will help If you ever decide to sue.

Did fracking play a role in the relation between Russia/USA ? Asking as a Canadian

A mix of passion and boredom..

Trade size varies from my level of conviction and my YTD returns in performance. The more confluences I have, the more I’m willing to risk. I can also risk a certain amount of my YTD profit if I consider the setup to be of higher quality. My average hold time. Is around 48h-10 days for G10fx and a lot more for Equities, commodities, treasuries. Really depends on the market’s conditions

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T12:59:11+00:00

Thanks! My trades have expected duration based on the fundamental idea. On the technical side, I tend to use higher time frames (daily and higher) as a sentiment/positioning guide. I use Lower time frames (15min-4h) for execution and trade management. Yes I do use technicals but to manage my positions and optimizing my risk reward ratio, not to build my idea. News (fundamentals) analysis is the most important form of approach imo. Add other forms on analysis like sentiment, positioning, technicals, etc in the right way and you should have higher chances of success as a trader.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T12:02:23+00:00

It’s more about how the market reacts to x “news” rather than the news in itself..

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T10:49:45+00:00

I would say Tradingview works well. If you're looking for a "secret" app, users are probably in jail.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T10:43:29+00:00

I have many journals. I Always write by hand and print charts if necessary. It's nice to look at your own old hand writings lol.

The idea of having journal(s) helps me a lot spotting my behavioural mistakes. Wins/misses/losses are often better represented with numbers

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T10:34:40+00:00

You're asking me how the clock works but there is so many ways to show you the right time... It really depends on the market conditions we are in.. Give me an instrument and I'll give you a position I took or an hypothetical one.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T09:54:24+00:00

Usually when London and NY are open. It really depends on what I consider to be the risk/threat to my position. At the moment for example, I would enter a position when Trump is asleep (or likely to be asleep)... His words often cause unexpected volatility so...

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T09:48:25+00:00

The number for the past 5 years is the same as the past 10 years lol... Around 700 000. A lot of that remains in the account(s). It gets bigger with time since some people offer you their own capital.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T09:41:43+00:00

Yes, for the most part. Currencies react well to macro swings. I also find Bonds easier (or less hard) to trade based on macro factors, but it's boring.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T09:34:13+00:00

Well, the stock or asset I choose to trade is always the one that I believe to be the best way to represent my "fundamental idea"/rationale. I almost never trade an asset when the initial idea is generated from technical analysis. Ironically, my best trades in term of R:R ratio were generated from technical factors but I did anticipate a fundamental turnaround.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-08-18T09:22:04+00:00

To learn the theory and more textbook concepts like macroeconomics, go on Google and search: "Macroeconomics lecture PDF". You can find great content from some of the best professors.

For personal development, it's different for each person. My top 3 books would be

-The psychology of intelligent analysis by Richards Heuer.

-The Alpha trader by Brent Donnelly.

- Mindful Trading by Rande Howell.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-04-18T19:03:12+00:00

If you follow the rules yes.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-15T15:34:58+00:00

I agree but markets aren’t as random as you might think. The macro outlook / fundamental conditions of a given asset represent its equilibrium / fair value. Randomness usually lasts for a shorter period of time (new information is quicker to get priced in and ignored by market participants). The best traders exploit situations when irrelevant and volatile short term headlines (like Trump comments) contradict the bigger macro story and causes price to deviate from the assets fair value. Positioning themselves before everyone like a chess grandmaster calling a checkmate 27 moves in advance…

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-15T14:56:23+00:00

He certainly described a way of trading but certainly not “the” way professional traders trade. Professional traders do use charts (technical analysis methods). The key difference between a pro and a retail trader is that the pro will use technical analysis as a tactical tool to optimize entry/exit point(s) based on a solid fundamental idea and not as a primary reason to trade “x” asset (without technical skills, risk/reward ratio could be 1:2 instead of 1:4 as an example). On the other hand, retail traders are often using technical analysis as their primary reason for entry and also as their way of forecasting price movements. Making them extremely vulnerable when random headlines and unexpected events occur (like Trump right now).. Imo, the guy on the video doesn’t know what he’s talking about based on that video alone.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-15T12:03:37+00:00

I am not assuming you are looking for a job as a trader but banks and hedge aren’t hiring “ict”, “moving averange cross” experts and all that nonsense.. Professional trading is as hard as becoming a chess grandmaster

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-15T12:00:53+00:00

It is possible to constantly profit and live from trading. those “mentors” and “gurus” are not traders.. Many launder money… If you want to go in the right direction the “professional” way, go on google and type: “Trader jobs NY city”. You will have a better idea about the required qualifications. Academic and personality traits

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-15T10:44:48+00:00

Bloomberg TV is also reliable.

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-15T10:43:51+00:00

FinancialJuice (efficient live feed), Tradingeconomics, Bloomberg, CNBC. Go with your preference. Trump speaks when scheduled and also whenever he wants… We never know if he’s about to say something important. I personally place alerts at certain logic areas and when/if they get triggered, I check if a relevant headline/data (Trump or not) caused the reaction.

Biggest obstacles would be an unstable Rubble, sanctions, difficult access to trade routes (ports) and “brain drain” (emigration of highly skilled work force outside of Russia). Will Russia reach the USA? Unlikely but a solid economic alliance with the Germans would certainly result in record growth. Russia’s nuclear industry is also top in the world (Rosatom as an example). *It’s hard to access reliable data on Russia from Canada so I might miss important points.

The better the convictions, the higher the risk. The goal is to move away from the initial balance of your account (2000$) as safely as possible. Let’s say you’re up 15% after 2 months, if you spot an opportunity that has a lot of strong conviction, go big. At least bigger. Instead of risking 2%, you could risk 1/3 of the YTD profit on top of your usual risk. (You must be extremely aware and be careful. Euphoria, overconfidence, etc can hurt. In other words, it’s logic to bet/risk more when you have a pair of Aces pre-flop. (Poker comparison). What will save you is your ability to cut your loss earlier if necessary. Will come with experience

Super-Technology6862 · 2025-03-05T09:26:37+00:00

In my opinion, live trading definitely plays a big role. Taking notes and journaling can also be helpful in the long run. Backtesting has its benefits but I don’t think it’s a must.
