Paper trading is fun.

Not sure about the validity of this site? Where is that info pulled? My broker has no issue finding shares to short. (And quite cheaply too)

Speaking of drawdown. Below illustrates the importance of cutting losers. Especially when the thesis behind your original trade plan has changed. Full read: http://shurwest.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/The-Math-of-Gains-Losses.pdf

Per your posts, you were "deep into reopening" plays back in first week of Nov when I PM warned you about the sector on new variant news. How much drawdown have you taken since then?

NCLH on a tear today. UK Omicron numbers falling off for days now. Officials claiming we are past the peak. As I said days ago in this thread, my guess is the US follows in 1-2 weeks. Travel all seeing a boost on this news.

Keep in mind, MTTR lockup expires Jan 18th. (Insiders can sell their shares on/after this date)

For fucks sake... (D) Menendez: "Diversity problems at the Fed" :mad:

JPow speaking live (being grilled) in front of the Senate confirmation hearing.

Not to say we dont have a change of heart and start plumbing deeper depths, but these type of trades tilt probabilities much farther into your favor. Also up 7% on more NCLH calls (tight leash on these). >4% on LABU >2% on UPST >2% on MSFT All purchased when we hit support today.

This should be no surprise given premarket talk about technical indicators. Guess where we bounced? The macro SPY ascending support trendline, where I executed a longterm buy and a TQQQ daytrade. (We discussed QQQ macro support trendline premarket). Simply more of the technical analysis...

Their crystal ball is likely the same guesswork as Mr. "everything rally" on CNBC you were posting on here the last 2 months.

^^ Just a buyout. ^^

BTC under $40k

Great friend of mine has dubbed the last month as "a bear market masquerading as a bull market", which I find perfect considering how many names are 20+% down off of all time highs, while the indexes have traded near all time highs. There are a few outsized weightings (AAPL being main culprit)...

TSLA giving up $1k level again in premarket.

To further validate technical analysis: For those of you watching technicals, the premarket QQQ hit (to the penny) the longstanding Ascending Support trend line from Oct 2020 . Every QQQ pullback of any significance over this entire period has exactly held this support level. This is fairly...

In a normal market, they shouldn't be exclusive of one another. Basically what @Sanrith Descartes has been preaching for ages in this thread. Find a company that is solid in their balance sheets (Fundamental Analysis), then using Technical Analysis to identify your ideal entries. Pullbacks to...

Not exactly. It's just a self fulfilling prophecy of which day traders have trade around chart patterns. Algos are programmed based on the human behavior, then we adjust to algo behavior and it all becomes somewhat predictable. The shitstorm is on the fundamentals side. The 2020-2021 newer idea...

As a previous telecoms engineer, it wasnt really about the fact they built their own as much as it was the optical distance shortening. Normal high speed fiber lines still snake and weave around natural and manmade obstacles. The Flash Boys effort was all about a "at any cost" direct linking...

My gut says we have 1-2 more weeks maximum before Omicron burnout. (No one left to infect here in the UK) The USA will likely lag this data by a bit. Once infection numbers start to come down, I think we get the real travel relief move. Yet keep in mind, hospitalizations are a trailing...

Been scaling in and out of NCLH Mar 22.5C options. My IRA is up 17% realized gains YTD. Only used 25% of my cash Buying Power. Options really are the crack of the trading world.

Hey, employee here. TSLA is part of our hard to borrow program. Essentially some stocks are super volatile/we may have to have other firms lend us shares, so they're not shortable unless you're enrolled, even on a margin account. The requirements are to have a single account (not split) worth...

Not trying to call some BS forum drama... but .. maybe I am. ToS has restricted TSLA short trades without utilizing their HTB program for as far back as I can remember (well back into 2021). Today you claim you can't short TSLA and didn't even know the HTB program existed. @Shonuff Are you...

Flashy youtube videos.. preferably with (rented) lambos.

Christ no. Those are basically pump and dump clubs. The leaders of those hacks are positioned before they call something out, then sell on the call out bump. Typically trading low float / penny stocks that move with little volume. They are the modern day email / phone text clubs of yesteryear.

As great of a platform that TDA is, it really isnt great for day trades. First off, they are selling for order flow (thats your commission "free" trades). On top of this, it is well known to lag a bit on market open. As well as Fidelity and others. Lightspeed is a professional platform, but...

ToS platform hotbuttons. Literally just made the trade to prove a point. ToS is my swing trade platform and I am typically using manual entries (on the ladder). Lightspeed is my daytrade broker and I absolutely use hotkeys as well as a custom programmed StreamDeck.

The fuck you talking about? Have you still not figured out how to join the TDA HTB program? Literally takes a few minutes in chat support. You owe me 23c for proving you're a dumb dumb.

This. We are basically all the way back to 2 weeks ago index levels. The horror!

Hindenburg putting out another hit piece. (RCL targeted) https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/26526-hindenburg-research-is-short-on-royal-caribbean-stock.html

HUM ouch. (-20%)

I had seen talk of a mention on CNBC. Like most CNBC mentions = pop and drop

That was just what I typed earlier. Stuff bought out of the gate for a quick pop, then ran out of buyers and we legged lower. It is trying to recover again here over the SPY 50D and QQQ 100D, but needs to settle out a bit. This whippy action is indicitive of trying to find a new base. Just got...

Saw this over at reddit and thought it was perfect.

The ideal situation would be another quick volume sell at the open and then a bounce. This establishes a stronger low to work off of with real buyers stepping up to the plate. If we just drift lower or open sideways, it is far harder to guage safe entries. A big move up out of the gate is...

This is exactly what I should have done. For some reason, I was hell bent on trying to perfect it. Keep in mind, we had rolling lockdowns, no vaccines, and complete uncertainty in what was going on with the pandemic at the bounce in March. I had very much credible reason to be skeptical. The...

This is a long read, but please hear me out! Of course, but that is far easier said than done. What crystal ball is going to tell you exactly when this will take place? Of important note, there are two sides of that coin. Say you theoretically time it just right and move to safe havens before...

^^ This ^^ Timing the markets is tough. We could see another 50%+ upside over the next few years. Then "crash" and wipe 30% off and you'd still be 20% lost gains. The markets are forward looking. So the fact the news came out yesterday about rate hike pace, the current market sell is pricing...

And FB just denied the earlier news leak of their VR/AR OS. MTTR might pick back up, but it is below all of the support levels right now.
