My oh my oh my! I just joined TL and read this thread. Must say that I did get a number of laughs reading all the bickering back and forth. Knocking a man like Larry Levin and his secret system trades. Well did you ever?

I can speak about Larry Levin's firm. They are ONE BIG PAIN IN THE ASS!!!! I cannot believe the nerve and ignorance of them to continually hound you with their boiler maker tactics once they have your telephone number. I notice a freebie promotion from Larry Levin when I joined here a short while ago. I will go on record here and now that should I receive one phone call from that firm in the near future I will not be very nice to whomever is on the other end.

So Larry if you get my phone number from this site please take and shove it and I will no longer be a registered member within TL.

I look forward to being a member on these forums and feel I may have a lot to offer. Thanks to everyone................

I have gone thru Larry Levins course with Patrick Assalone and I am doing just fine! The important thing I learned was when NOT to trade! That you need a lot of patience and it is NOT for everyone! It is a new way of learning and you have to leave your baggage that you have learned previously at the door. People with the most experience do the worst as they WON'T forget what they learned. It is very hard to do. The people that have little or NO former training tend to do much better. Like anything, it is not for everyone, but it turned my life around and I am very happy where I am now, thx to Larry and Patrick.

Patrick is very vain, a loud mouth and obnoxious, but for me, an excellent teacher as I have been called worse myself! The camaraderie in our trading rooms and help from everyone is second to none! As a disclaimer, I am a graduate and it was the best thing I could have done. Once again, its NOT for everyone and it is NOT easy!

2 months ago (your first post of 4 total) you had not even used a futures trading platform, and now your life is changed?

 

 

I noticed people in here naming trading platforms for Futures like IB and more. As a beginner I have looked around at Think or Swim, IB and came across Kingsview. Anyone have any ideas on which platform is best for the beginner with around $10 to start on? You all seem to be much more knowledgeable than myself. Hoping to catch up....

I wish you all the best in the world because you will need it. I must be one of those guys in the "worst" category. I don't like telemarketers either. Sounds like Patrick and I might be a little bit alike. Sounds like you are with the right group. Good luck to you.

The 80% rule is so outdated. It belongs on the same page as the moving average cross-over.

 

If trading was this simple do you think Investment Banks would be paying quants >100k pa to come up with codes. Indeed many Banks ask for Phd's from TOP universities.

 

If only they knew the 80% rule!

 

I await the next 'Secret trading tip technique'... what will it be? One time framing... If you see lower highs & lower lows then you're in a downtrend? No Sh*t Sherlock.

 

 

Just for the record, there is no day to day correlation in markets, just cos its up today, don't mean its gonna be up tomorrow. All a Day TPO value area will tell you is what happened yesterday.

 

If Larry's Tips n Tricks worked that well, do you think he'd be giving them away in order to entice hapless trainees?

Actually, trading is this simple.

 

The way I see it, there are a good number of reoccurring sets of market conditions. These produce the same set ups, over, and over again. All one really needs to do is learn to find them, and trade the patterns they form.

 

Most winning patterns are good 50, to maybe 80% of the time. It's the times they aren't working that messes everyone up and throws people off their game.

 

The emotional stuff that occurs in trading is much more difficult to manage than the technical aspect. Learning the right balance of detachment, and focus is what separates the men, from the boys in this game.

      Date: 23rd April 2024. European PMIs Paint Mixed Picture, ECB advise a June Cut is Certain. The German DAX recorded its highest monthly increase as investors continue to predict a weaker EU monetary policy. JP Morgan again advised stocks are overcrowded and may see a stronger downward correction. However, economists advise this is only possible if geo-political tension escalates or companies fail to beat earnings predictions. Gold witnesses its strongest decline in 2024 falling 2.64% on Monday and a further 1.32% during this morning’s Asian session. The Euro is the best performing currency after the day’s PMI releases. However, investors should note that the US Dollar during the Asian session was performing significantly better. USA500 – Visa and Tesla Ready Shareholders For Earnings Release! The SNP500 rose 0.87% during the US trading session and also broke the previous swing high. However, JP Morgan again told journalists there are signs that the stock market is “overcrowded”. When institutions are overexposed to certain stocks or industries, it only takes one big fund to start de-levering and then others will follow. Though, investors should note that this would also depend on three factors. The first is earnings, the second is geo-political tensions and the third is inflation. This week, investors will largely watch earnings, particularly Visa and Tesla. Visa and Tesla currently hold a weight of 2.00% and are two of the most influential stocks. Tesla continues to be one of the worst performing stocks, but Visa’s earnings are less certain. Visa has beat earnings and revenue expectations over the past 4 occasions but has been struggling over the past 30 days. Analysts expect earnings and revenue to remain at the same level compared to the previous quarter. However, higher earnings can potentially increase demand. Visa stocks have risen 5.20% in 2024 and have a dividend yield of 0.76%. However, as mentioned above, the performance of the stock market will largely depend also on inflation and geo-political tensions. Though these are not likely to change within the upcoming days. In regard to inflation, investors will be eager to see if inflation again rises, in which case, interest rate cuts will likely not be possible for 2024. If this scenario materialises, stocks can decline between 20-30% ($3,700-$4,220). GER30 – ECB Ready To Cut Rates In June 2024! On a 2-hour timeframe the price of the GER30 is trading above the 75-Bar EMA and above the VWAP. In addition to this, the asset is obtaining buy signals also from oscillators and price action. The index has retraced since the release of the European PMI data, but if the price rises above 18,067, without breaking the day’s low price, buy signals will become active. One of the key drivers, along with this morning’s PMI release for Germany and France, is the latest comments from members of the ECB. According to ECB representative Mr Villeroy, even if oil remains volatile, the regulator will look to cut in June 2024. In addition to Mr Villeroy, Mr De Guindos told journalists that a rate cut in June is “crystal clear”. The guidance given is increasing the demand for the German DAX as are indications of stronger economic data. The French PMI data saw the Services index rise above 50.00 for the first time since May 2023 and beat expectations. However, the manufacturing index continues to struggle and fell compared to the previous month. The German PMI was a similar picture. The Services PMI rose to a 10-month high and beat expectations, but the Manufacturing Index read lower than the 42.8 expectations and is at a 6-month low. Always trade with strict risk management.
