Stop chasing the God damn trend you retard.

Look there's two ways to trade basically.

You either trade to make the market and that's basically looking to sell when everyone like you is buying.

Or you look for price drops for good value and buy when something is a lot cheaper than it should be. Then you sell it to noobs who see it spiking up after its already really high

Stop selling you idiot. Invest in some safe bets that have been around for a long time and wait it out. Some will crumble but overall the market goes up if you average through recessions.

Why are you so impressed with yourself? There was a $20 price fluctuation in gold when it was already sitting at $1320. That's a fluctuation of less than 2%. I don't know how much volume you were doing but your gains can't be that much unless you were massively leveraged and exposed yourself to crazy amounts of downside if you guessed wrong.

On top of that you had to pay all the fees and taxes involved with day trading. Is it really worth it? Wouldn't value investing be much simpler and pay off better in the long run?

>There was a $20 price fluctuation in gold
He is trading in CFD which is different than futures but say for example the GC gold futures contract for 100oz of gold:
tick value of $0.10 per ounce which is $00 per contract. 100oz x $0.10 = $10
there are ten ticks per point, that means the minimum the price moves is $0.10 so for example the price can move $1324.0 $1324.1 $1324.2 etc
that means for every point is worth $100
100oz × 0.10 × 10ticks = $100
so that means a 20 point move in the GC contract is worth 20 * $100 = $2000
remember there are 10 ticks per point so if you think of this as a 200 tick move and each tick is worth $10 so,
$10 x 200 = $2000

FACT: Your portfolio balance, if any, is less than $1000.

>>
>>1466954
CDFs are traded with forex brokers and forex brokers allow you to trade based on these lot sizes
Standard 100,000 units
Mini 10,000 units
Micro 1,000 units
Im not sure but IIRC for a xxxUSD pair a mini lot has a pip value of $1 and a standard lot has a pip value of $10
so 20 × $10 = $200 per standard lot.
So you could have a position of 10 standard lots to get the same exposure as the GC futures contract.
>>
>>1466984
Here is an example of how to calculate the value of 1 Pip for one 10k (mini) lot of xxxUSD where the base currency of the account is USD.
Start with 10,000. Multiply 10,000 by .0001 since 1/10,000th is a pip for all xxxUSD pairs
10000 x 0.0001 = $1.

That's a conclusory statement, full of puffery and good intentions, but completely lacking in actual hard evidence. Saying that "Graham thinks so" is not proof of an argument. Graham is full of shit and/or outdated on many topics.

So how about some real evidence that effort, hard work, skill, time, or commitment actually improves your rate of return. Because I know a lot of Wall Street trading firms and hedge funds (95% of them, in fact) that have FUCKING PILES of effort, skill, education, time, commitment, and resources ... and yet can't beat an index fund after accounting for their expenses.

Prove me wrong.

Well beating the market as an institutional investor who needs to invest billions in high quality and fairly low-risk investments is hard.

Beating market returns as an individual investing in under-valued or growth shares is not as difficult.

Also, Graham's writings all clearly demonstrate those willing to do good security analysis can make good returns.

Buffet's only real difference from Graham is that he places great value on unique intangible advantages like strong brand names.

I know you want to pretend you're all scientific with evidence, anon. If you'd ever read anything on investing, such as Tim Hale's book, you'd know the majority of evidence says that passive investing usually gives better returns than those who try to beat the market with stocks.

And yet here we are with people like buffett. I myself know a 75 yo guy who has made a few hundred thousand from stock investing, he's amazing.

Point is, success can be had. Don't take advice from losers though. If you follow the advice of slater, graham, and buffett, you can do a lot of good.

>Well beating the market as an institutional investor who needs to invest billions in high quality and fairly low-risk investments is hard.

>Beating market returns as an individual investing in under-valued or growth shares is not as difficult.
Ah, the old Buffett apology. "It's harder to invest more money than less money." Conveniently forgetting a few things though: (1) It's never been shown to be true. (2) Having more capital open up opportunities not available to smaller investors. (3) No one is requiring them to invest every dollar or even to take in every dollar offered to them, especially if they can't earn an above-market return on the funds.

It's a tired, well-worn excuse than doesn't convince anyone who thinks beyond platitudes and pithy quotes.

So, I'm still waiting for that evidence that effort, hard work, skill, time, or commitment actually improves your rate of return. You keep posting bullshit and idealizations. You keep posting quotes from "star" investors. You keep providing anecdotal stories about your neighbor's cousin's hairdresser.

Got any actual evidence? It's a simple question that should have a simple answer....
>>
>>1467185

You're a giant goober.

>(2) Having more capital open up opportunities not available to smaller investors.

Yes, it does. But the fact is, an institutional investor is never going to put a small amount of money into a small-cap company. They are very limited in the type of trades they can make.

Similarly, individual investors are limited by being poor, or poorer than institutions, but they can invest in anything they can afford.

>Got any actual evidence? It's a simple question that should have a simple answer....

I've already pointed out that Tim Hale gives LOADS of references in his book to financial journals, and explained that most of the evidence suggests passive investing is better than trying to beat the market.

As someone whose day job actually involves research, let me tell you not to place too much importance on MUH JOURNALS, you fool. They only tell you what has happened in the past, for one thing, and they certainly cannot predict the future.

And they certainly do not tell you what you are capable of. With some study an intelligent person can beat the market, and indeed many of them do.

So you can stop repeating yourself asking "where is muh evidence" now. Posters of your type are very common at forums about intellectual activities, but you fail to think about any problems that """"""actual""""" evidence has.

No. No they're not. I know of very few hedge funds or trading firms that arbitrary restrict themselves from profitable investments. And while they may have size thresholds, that's more a function of transactional and research costs rather than a limitation on their pursuit of profit.

>They only tell you what has happened in the past, for one thing, and they certainly cannot predict the future.
Nice attempt to move the goalposts and avoid the question. I'm not asking about the future. I'm asking a simple question that you're unable or refuse to answer.

>With some study an intelligent person can beat the market, and indeed many of them do.
Less than 5%. Bleak numbers indeed.

>Posters of your type
You mean people who ask for proof of claims, rather than accepting conventional wisdom? You mean people who are aware of the dismal track record of stock pickers? Or do you mean people who aren't beholden to Wall Street, like you?

So I'll ask again, and keep asking until I get a direct answer: do you have any evidence that effort, hard work, skill, time, or commitment actually improves your rate of return?

>>1467204
>How about when your position sizes in the millions and there is simply not enough liquidity in the orderbook to do things that you could do with a smaller position size.
No trading firm or hedge fund is required to invest all of their capital into any single investment. If they wanted to do small plays, they could. If they wanted to do hundreds of small plays, they could.

Stop with the "muh small trades" bullshit. There's no evidence that small trades are more profitable than large trades, or that trading firms are precluded from making small trades if they wanted to.

In reality, they do whatever is sufficiently profitable to keep their investors and their board happy. Even though in 95% of cases, that means underperforming an index after expenses.

Who are they, how many are there, and by how much did they beat the market? What's the correlation to effort, hard work, skill, time, and commitment? Where are the numbers?

I'll ask again, and keep asking until I get a direct answer: do you have any evidence that effort, hard work, skill, time, or commitment actually improves your rate of return?

If your good at picking losers, then put a limit order a few percentage points below the market price.

You should really start trading. I actually fell into that trap up there at 1 trying to go long but I also had a short a but above it waspretty risky though as the price had been spiking lately and completely blown through a couple of my limits so fast that it actually hit their stop losses which on the charts were about 10 to 30 pips away and the limits were even further from each other.

Some sort of weird slippage happened where I was charge for 0 pips for both orders being activated.

I also set a limit there at the end of that too and made another quick 60 pips or so right before the market ended too.

I'm no expert myself but I like the way you see the charts. It's similar to how I see it. You would probably be pretty good at this.

Too many people are focused on chasing the trend in too short of a time frame and lose. They don't see the traps which you should be doing the opposite of the masses to actual win good trades

This is a pretty good read so far. Sounds like technicals got cucked by fundamentals even though technicals were clearly predicting shit and making people into millionairesome.

Then some guy told everyone not to worry about learning the markets and dealing with manipulation(which I doubt can ever be stopped) and just focus on fundamentals and long term trades.


Reading this makes a lot of things clear to me and answers some questions. I've always wondered why the average person thinks you can't predict the market and thinks it's all random.


Thanks for this. This is really interesting so far

OK now this makes things much much clearer holy shit. The SEC basically brain washed everyone.

Don't mean to bother you guys, I'm a newfag on this board and I was wondering how you guys got to where you guys are now?

You guys seem to have heads on your shoulders. I'm new to business and finance and wanted to start learning as a hobby mostly and perhaps as something profitable in the future. Is there anything I should focus on as a beginner?

Im looking for some guidance or some general direction to steer. I was thinking of learning what I could on Khan academy and see which way the wind blows from there. Anything would be helpful
>>
>>1468329
I haven't gotten anywhere yet. I've only been learning how to trade for the last year and I only started to have a better understanding of the market very recently like maybe the last 4-6 months. And on top of that I seem to only be able to trade gold well.

I guess you want to study supply and demand and the way the ways the market moves.

Most of what I learned is from watching some videos on how the market traps the average investors into fake out moves and then watching the charts and learning why what I was learning as a beginner wasn't working and seemed to always have me trading the exact opposite of what the market was doing for the day.

And then lots and lots of live trading experience over the last year and looking at other traders charts and entries to help structure the way I see things and building from there.

It's probably a good idea to just read some of those books the other guy is recommending. Will save you a lot of pain and money learning those same lessons from the market at a premium price.

Some technical analysis is okay if there's a logic to the patterns.

For instance heads and shoulders. It's the point where an up trend fails to make a new high.

Trendline break is a natural point where stoplosses are. When stoplosses are hit, people that have bought expecting a bounce all 'sell' accelerating the price.

Supply and demand just represents unfilled orders. So a bank tells some trader to place 500lots of EUR/USD at 1.1 price. Lets say 400 of those 500 gets filled. There's 100 more lots sitting there at that price.

So when price goes around and comes back to 1.1 it jumps up again as those orders are consumed.

One thing to consider is that your sell orders would only be filled on an uptick after a decline activates this uptick rule.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptick_rule
>The uptick rule is a trading restriction that states that short selling a stock is only allowed on an uptick.
>It is triggered when a security's price decreases by 10% or more from the previous day's closing price


Another thing to consider is that there are plenty of examples of traders entering incorrect prices way below/above the market and they lost hundreds of millions or even billions to the other sharks in the water who smelt the blood because when you are offering APPL for $7.71 instead of $771 they are willing to buy as many as you can give them. And then these typo traders got hit with huge fines from the regulators for manipulation and causing halts.

Also, thinking that you can just sell your 100,000 shares down to shittier and shittier prices. There is such a thing as a bid/ask spread. You cannot sell at a price lower than the current highest bid. You can try, but your broker will just match your retarded sell order with the NBBO (National Best Buy or Offer). So right now, you could go out and put in a sell order on AAPL for $0.01 and you broker will just execute that order at $106.38 for you.

since this was one of the first books I read I see the rest through tinted glasses because now every other book I read I see these concepts between the lines, even going back to Edwards&Magee I these concepts being hinted at.
From here I was able to find a lot more information and ventured out into other concepts related to this by searching for things like: order flow, trapped traders, depth of market, price ladder, market microstructure, tape reading, metagame concepts like lots of traders placing their stops at the same level, institutions with large positions hunting for liquidity.

Turns out when the stock is going up, the people and institutions who bought before you were taking profits, causing the stock to go down.

Why don't you do the opposite? Buy during the accumulation phase, after a decline, then sell when the stock is going up and distribution phase.

If you're thinking that doing the opposite is scary, remember that buy when it's scary for ordinary people, and sell when ordinary people are excited and positive.

This guy seems to know what's up to.

There are trap moves that make you think it's going one way when it's really going another way and it happens very very fast.

You have to have a great understanding of what's going on. I mean honestly would you have sold into this here or bought it? It moved down in seconds and back up in seconds.

Of course you can set limits but you have to know exactly where to place them and it takes either a lot of luck or a great understanding of what's happening

There are many successful traders who use fundamentals, technical analysis and quantitative as well as qualitative analysis to make decisions. TA is not a meme, you're on a 5chan finance board lol. Of course no one here would know how to use it, but it works. Paul tudor Jones etc. When certain ratios reach cyclical lows and macro sentiment is smooth and there's an RSI & MACD bullish divergence near a key fibonacci retracement level it can indicate a reversal you cuck.

No thank you friend. I was starting to put together a lot of the little pieces from teaching myself how to swing trade basically.

And some of the things you mentioned like order blocks got me digging and looking and it led me to this guy.

I've been watching his stuff and it's starting to fill in the gaps of what I've been discovering on my own.

I think I'll take a break from trading for a while and study.

I already have some new ideas on how I want to eventually trade. Thinking of trading somewhere between how a hedge fund and an institutional trades.

I want to position and swing trade while stacking orders for my position trades and unload them at the end of the cycle and then do it the opposite way back every cycle.

I thought I couldn't find anything worthwhile here but I found you and it helped lead me to where I needed to look next.
