Beginner Looking to Start Learning Options Trading I’m new to options trading and want to start learning more about it. I’ve never read a book on the topic before, but I’m really eager to build my knowledge. I’ve found a list of some highly recommended books, but as a total beginner, I’m not sure where to start. Do you think any of these are beginner-friendly, or should I tackle them in a specific order? Here’s the list I came across: 1. **Options as a Strategic Investment by Lawrence G. McMillan** This seems to be *the* book... 1 3 replies

Advice needed Advice needed. I'm an inexperienced stock trader. During the COVID-19 crash in 2020, I bought $15,000 worth of random stocks: Boeing, Delta, Spirit Airlines, Spirit AeroSystems, MGM, Disney, Apple, and JetBlue, as recommended by my coworkers at the firehouse dinner table.

I also sold some stocks this year with an $8,000 profit: Delta - 160 shares at $50 for a +97% return & Apple - 4 shares at $228 for a +72% return. What should I... 2 4 replies
S&P 500: What Is Smart Money Doing Right Now? Taking a closer look at my charts for the S&P 500, one key observation stands out: **Smart money sold out precisely on time during the latest peak but has not yet returned with meaningful buying activity.** As shown in the chart, institutional investors - often referred to as "smart money" - are cautious. Historically, they wait for **early but robust trends of stabilization** before re-entering the market. Notably, we’ve seen this behavior before: smart money sold ahead of the U.S. election but re-entered quite quickly afterward, signaling confidence in... 1 7 replies

Any Aussies intraday/swing trading on the ASX? I've had a dig around Reddit, Whirlpool, search engines etc and I'm guessing the lack of info means ASX retail traders just don't have many reasonably priced options. Putting this call out just in case. Your thoughts on what I believe are the pros of trading the US market as an Aussie: \* Most of the info/tools/brokers out there are oriented to US markets \* Much cheaper brokerage/transaction costs \* Bigger/broader market allowing for different types of setups and strategies Cons: \* Timezone \* Forex fluctuations - although, using... 1 1 replies

How do you decide the best approach for a token immediately after a massive bull run? I woke up to find that BGB had flipped Pepe, LTC, and even BCC in terms of MCAP, currently at $10.2B atm. Of course, like most people here, I decided to check what's happening, and as a result I noticed that in the top 2 trending coins on CMC, with over 60% ROI in the past 7 days and more than 360% in a month. All of this points to good momentum for the token, which is very good, all things considered. My question now is what might be... 1 2 replies
