hi TL community,

 

just happened upon TL through a link, and am now in hour four reading through forums and threads..great venue for newbies such as myself, as well as experienced "bies."

i was looking for a forum of like-minded traders to share knowledge, ideas, so I'm very happy to have found the TL site :) any suggestions for following certain forums, threads, is greatly appreciated.

 

 

Welcome to TL Progman,

hi Mystic,

 

thanks for reply.

I'm actually in a holding pattern right now. Had been trading options, almost exclusively Apple, last few mos of 2013. Decided to take the plunge into full-time trading in the new year, but have hit a snag with biz formation issues.

Had been in contact with Traders' Accounting, in Phoenix, and was going to use them for coaching and bookkeeping set-ups, yet my research uncovered quite a bit of negative feedback of the co. This bore out my initial reservations about not using a local CPA with knowledge of traders' acctg and taxation methodologies, as well as Traders' Acctg's seemingly high pricing structures, especially for entity formation.

I've since formed my multiple-entity LLC with NYS, which was easy and painless, despite Traders' dire warnings not to do "anything without speaking first with your coach." However, my entity was formed using much of Traders' initial consultation advice, and I'm unsure if my LLC is in fact the best way to go, i.e., does it really allow for distributions which are not considered income and therefore not subject to self-employment taxes, and so many more questions!!

So here I sit, unfunded and unhappy, unsure how to proceed..

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Hi, Im new to this forum, actually this is my first forum i've ever joined. So i'm excited to try this out and stay active with this forum and great people on here. I've been trading, wait, investing for a couple years now where now i want to start day trading. I am learning the in's and out's but what I am finding is that EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE tells me something completely different from strategies to terms to styles, etc...

 

I'm from Canada (Yes, my Mayor smokes crack...) and I want to aim big- meaning my goal is to open a day trading floor. I did mess around with day trading but now i want to take it to the next level.

 

Any advice people? Please, lets be honest and serious.

 

Thanks gang!

Hi kookiemonster,

You must have emigrated from South Africa or Holland , with a name like that.

You will waste years of your life, and lots of money with your new venture.:doh:

This is not the thread to give advice, but for what its worth.......:(

You have to find a mentor to shorten the learning curve.

And by a mentor I mean a local trader in your area who will help.

Even if you have to pay for it.:crap:And with all the sharks out there you will pay more than once.:crap:

Imagine deciding you want to become a professional golfer. :roll eyes:

Do you think reading 100 books will make you a professional golfer ?:confused:

I rest my case.

kind regards

bobc

Hi There Everyone!

 

I've dabbled in day trading stocks, options, and even the forex off and on for a while now, and have never met with any real success.

 

What I'm hoping to learn here is consistency and discipline to build a smart automated trading platform.. Looking for trades to capitalize on over a week to a few months. I want to combine my love of programming and make some serious cash on the markets. Daunting analytically programs come natural to me, so if you've got a winning strategy, I'm the guy who can implement it.

 

About Me: This isn't my first go round with predictive algorithm software. This past season in the NFL, I built and maintained a predictive program that picked winning NFL teams called fantasy mainframe. The software would participate in cash salary leagues, and had a winning percentage of over 70%. The point is not to brag, but to look at the possibility of doing something similar with stocks. The NFL program looked at players on an individual basis and compared them with upcoming opponents, and then would rank them accordingly. I believe the same principles could be applied to stocks and options. A program would be more thorough and faster than it's human counterparts. I'm just not sure what disciplines or what to build into a program to make it effective - which is where partnering with you folks would come into play ;)

 

I don't have a tremendous bank roll, but should have enough to get started. In total, I have about $14k at play in the stock market. Prior to testing it live, I'd like to use a dummy account on any stuff we were to develop. Any tips that could point me in the right direction could be very helpful - stuff like books to ready, strategies you recommend, forum posts to follow up on, etc. Anyone who is interested in maybe teaming up can post here or email me at fantasymainframe at gmail dot com.

 

TIA! Jeff :)

Speaking of killing snakes...

 

If you have something to say, why don't you write in a clear manner? If you are trying to make a statement... make one; no one can read you clearly otherwise.

Killing a snale means showing strength and boldness , if you never killed a cobra , means no fuzzy talk .

 

So show some proof of using any of these indicators profitablywith diagrams , would be better than some useless indicators.Otherwise it would be snakes and knickers.

    • Date: 26th April 2024. Alphabet Easily Beat Earnings Predictions But Focus Shifts to Today’s PCE Data. Microsoft and Alphabet’s earnings reports beat expectations pushing the NASDAQ to the top of the charts. The Bank of Japan keep interest rates unchanged applying pressure on the Japanese Yen. The Yen Index declines 0.36% and is down 40% against the USD over the past 5 years. The US GDP growth rate falls below its 2.5% expectations, reading 1.6%, but economists advise the Fed may only cut once in 2024! The market turns its attention to the Core PCE Price Index which analysts expect to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%. USA100 – Alphabet Easily Beat Analysts’ Earnings Predictions and Sees its P/E Ratio Fall! The price of the NASDAQ ended the day higher and rose to a slightly higher high. As a result, the index is close to forming a traditional bullish trend and making Wednesday’s decline a retracement or medium-term correction. In terms technical analysis, indicators are mainly indicating a reverting price condition where the asset cannot maintain longer term momentum. However, momentum indications provide a slight bullish bias. The upward price movement is being driven by earnings reports from Microsoft and Alphabet which beat earnings expectations. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ while Alphabet is the third most influential. Alphabet’s earnings beat expectations by 21.61% and revenue rose more than $6 billion. As a result, the price of the stock rose 11.56% after market close. Furthermore, Microsoft’s Earnings Per Share beat Wall Street’s expectations by 3.40% and revenue by 1.50%. The stock rose by 4.30% after market close and is close to trading at the all-time high. However, investors should note that from the “magnificent 7”, Alphabet and Meta have the lowest Price to Earnings ratio. Meaning these stocks are the most likely to be trading below their intrinsic value. However, investors should note that negatives for the stock market in general remain. This also supports the bias shown by technical analysis. The GDP growth rate fell considerably below expectations while inflation data continues to show signs of rising prices. Investors will closely be monitoring today’s Core PCE Price Index which is the most watched index by the Federal Reserve. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to fall from 2.8% to 2.6%. If the index reads more than 0.3%, a rate cut will become unlikely making stocks less attractive. Whereas, if the PCE Price Index is not as high as expectations, Bond Yields will likely decline, as will the US Dollar and a rate cut will be put back on the table. As a result, investors may look to take advantage of the strong earnings and continue purchasing stocks. USDJPY – BOJ Hold Interest Rates Unchanged! The price of the USDJPY exchange rate again rose to an all-time recent high after increasing in value for 3 consecutive days. Trend and momentum-based indicators point towards a higher price. However, the exchange rate is trading within the overbought range of most oscillators and is also showing a divergence pattern. Both are known to indicate a decline, but not necessarily a complete change of trend. The Bank of Japan’s statement from earlier this morning was largely “dovish” and gave no clear indication that the central bank wishes to keep rising interest rates. However, shortly the Governor will answer questions from journalists and may give a more hawkish tone. Either way, investors are mainly concentrating on if the Federal Government will again opt to intervene within the currency market. Most economists believe the intervention will only come if the USD continues to rise and it will not be before the Core PCE Price Index. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
