- What would you do if you were a profitable trader?
Or maybe you are already profitable, what do you do? Trade your own money, retire early and enjoy ...

I started with VSA too, but I'm a pure Wyckoffian for about 3 years now. I'm very curious about which way will you take this thread. Subscribed

If you know about Wyckoff, then I don't know why ask this question, since he clearly states, that you don't need to watch any news or fundamentals, because they are already priced into the market. My advice is though, that you should drop VSA and ...

A trendline is the same as a support/resistance line, just with a different angle, so it has the same rule. Once price goes through them back and forth without reaction, it becomes invalid. In that case nothing is there, because the line doesn't ...

It is the blue one, without question. Fully logical why, totally obvious. Because let's say this is a daily chart, if you draw it like the black one, when you go on the hourly, the price must have broken through back and forth it at least once, if ...

Nice thread, subscribed, this is a good collection of funding opportunities to keep in mind for the future. Regarding the monthly payments, it really shouldn't be a problem to monthly make and spend 100-200-300 dollars on a 25k-150k account, if you ...

As long as I don't see another selloff like in February I don't think there will be any bear market. When I first saw the crash in February, I thought there will be a similar crisis to 1987, when it just started crashing and didn't stop until the ...

These numbers are surpisingly good. I thought they will be somewhere above 90-95%. Definitely a big slap to those who always comment trading is impossible. Or some shit like the second comment above this one. Must be a painful realisation, that it ...

This is exactly the problem I was facing for a very long time. I trade bigger timeframes and bigger stops than you, but same dilemma was coming up constantly. Only difference is I know that it only makes sense for me to target 1,5R-2R max for TP. My ...

Price's law. Success in trading is just similar as success in everything. Only a small percentage is, and remains successful as time passes, it is an "inevitable conclusion of iterated trading games". This applies to creative work as well. You can't ...

Well, you kinda have a clue about the order flow on the chart, because big orders move the price big time, while small orders make the price grind forward slowly. Knowing how to read this in context, and also understanding the laws of supply and ...

This is the exact reason why I think only a very very few people is able to learn to trade consistently. You have to have a very specific type of personality. That type who gets absolutely furious at himself, that he set up his won rules and not ...

Same at Pepperstone. Just asked them, they said they weren't asked to change anything about the leverage. Spreadbetter, I wonder what are you actually gaining if this would get implemented, since you are rooting for this viciously. I mean what would ...

I'd like to ask one more question. When deciding on trades, were they decided by some kind of supervisors, like they come out of the meeting room, go to their respective desks, and say to you like "okay, we're going to build an X lot position in Y, ...

I know you said you were trading 80% fundamental and 20% technical, but my question is, when you sat down to the computer at the bank, what was in front of you on the screen? Thanks (I mean naked charts or order flow, or indicators,or whatever ...

Do you want to trade for an investment bank/hedge fund, or privately? I trade for myself for the last 3 years (althought I had to support myself in the first 2 externally, I only make enough in the last year), here I can offer some of my insights. ...

No long term edge. The losing 95% doesn't have an edge. They think they have, because of the confirmation bias when looking back, but when doing it live, it produces nothing. If you have an edge, your mindset and psychology will fall into place ...

Sorry I don't understand your question. But liquidity is just a cluster of orders from other participants. Above the market there could be buy stops, sell limits, the TPs/stops of these orders and also the TPs/stops of those who are already ...

I don't know about that situation you said last time, because trading the institutions own money and market making is different. What you said would be market making, taking the spread + commission and processing the large corporations order. But if ...
- Darastonius replied Jan 4, 2018
I'd look into my order book, see where liquidity is above the market, give a little push to the price right into that cluster of orders above, a wide spread up candle on high volume (even after an advance) makes the average trader super bullish ...
