Please tell me if I'm stupid I'm trading Bitcoin futures with 15x leverage. What I do is draw a trendline - 5 min / 15 min to see the direction its generally moving in and also use support and resistance lines. I open the trade without a stop loss and set a TP of 11% - 12% and just let it run. It usually hits my TP during the day and if it doesn't i let it run overnight (I do think letting it run overnight isn't smart and I've at times had to hold... 2 0 replies

TradeStation users - do you automatically get live access to tradearies? I'm not a current TradeStation customer. Last week I learned about [https://app.tradearies.com/flow](https://app.tradearies.com/flow) Looks cool, but that link is delayed, limited, with no history. It says to access more of it to login into TradeStation. My question to TradeStation users - is this a free addon as long as you're a TS customer? Do you get live real-time historical option flow? 4 0 replies

Apple’s New Moves and Updates On $490M Investor Settlement Hey everyone, if you missed it, they seem to be diving into something straight out of a Steve Jobs dream—developing smart home devices (like a TV or similar) powered by its new Apple Intelligence.

Reading a DOM Hey, I've seen some people people confused by using a Depth of Market (DOM). I'm going to try to simplify it, by looking at an imaginary futures instrument and breaking down a single trading event step by step. https://i.redd.it/z4kw8e5yqf6e1.gif This instrument has 5 buyers at each price level at 50 and below, and 5 sellers at each level 50.01 and above. https://preview.redd.it/92b0exb2rf6e1.png?width=565&format=png&auto=webp&s=63591fbef181fa0c9a92c45d9933957e3543dcfd A trader places an order to buy 50 contracts at the current available price (50.01).

Is Trading Really This “Simple”? When writing this, I intentionally avoided using the word “easy.” Trading is far from easy. Instead, I chose “simple” because, at its core, trading is just that—simple. You follow a set of rules, and if you adhere to them correctly, you’re rewarded more often than not. The simplicity lies in the structure of the rules, but the challenge is in mastering the psychology and discipline required to follow them. That’s what makes these “simple” rules anything but easy. I’m a beginner, having been trading for just over six months.... 3 0 replies

Genuinely lost I am completely lost guys, I feel like everything I have learnt and all the hours I have spent charting are to waste. Every single one of my shorts/longs gets recovered and I dont understand why. My entries are always decent at the time of entry but I never understand why it recovers me after say 4hrs +. Like should I just close my contracts at 30 pips and enter a reversal every time? I just dont understand why price reverses so much during the day considering pip-wise and... 2 0 replies

Question on future trading - overnight fees or not? Hi traders, I have a question on future trading. On my CFD account I see overnight fees when I trade spot CFD but no overnight fees when I trade future based CFD s. The CFD broker takes the future's overnight margin for defining the margin for the CFD, the future broker gives me a daytime margin which is 5-25% of the overnight margin depending on the commoditiy future (or index future). Even with the overnight margin I efffectively have a 1x10 leverage and it is 10% of the lot's... 3 0 replies

Can SPY be manipulated? So the Standard and Poor’s 500 is what many average people on the street would use to evaluate the strength of the economy, and I’m going to be honest I’m not an expert on it, so pardon me if I say something silly. So most of us understand (or think we understand) what moves an instrument’s price, and it’s the buyers and sellers who click market order which takes the next available limit order and that sets the price. Anyways, whether that’s right or wrong, it leads to the... 1 0 replies

Can trading help me earn a basic income? Avid and professional traders, or at least those with the loudest voices, often suggest that this job has been their gateway to fortune. I'm well aware that this job requires a great deal of commitment, discipline and practice. But my question is this: is this a reasonable way to support one's basic necessities? That is, eating and paying the rent. I'm not talking about affording an island 🤨 I'd like to be enlightened before considering dedicating more time to it. Thank you for your help. 1 0 replies
