Anyone who has ever worked on a “group” project in college or has run a business knows this is true except that maybe it’s 80-20 or 75-25. If you didn’t notice this, it’s probably because you were in the 80-90% who let the whales in your group do all the work.

- Replying to @SJosephBurnsBy far, the best I've seen are the Sami Abusaad videos on T3 Live. If someone wants to learn how to be a professional trader, this is the real deal. His 33 video playlist is the place to start. youtu.be/CDAnby9B-dY
- Replying to @madaznfootballr and @PyriteminerThe reality is that the market has sucked for 30 months. In a bear market, patterns don’t follow through and price moves in unexpected ways. I would say to just back everything down until the market improves. Trade smaller, stick with high liquidity, and sell faster.
- I bought $XERS High Tight Flag triggered today. The rules for HTF are: -80% Gain in 8 weeks or less (90%+ is better) -3-5 Week Flag -The Pole is about 45 degrees -Retraces no more than 25% -Vol declines during flag
- Thanks! See you at the nursing home!
- Replying to @LisaBloomThe "accommodations" refer to work environment, ie. ramps, not job description. Anyone who can't work for 70 hours in a week doesn't qualify, regardless of their reason. There is no reasonable accommodation that is going to get 70 hours worth of work done in 40.
- These guys post a lot of legit ideas. Follow them: @gusichan @johnscharts @TedHZhang @CasualtyWar @RoyLMattox @MartyChargin @TaPlot @TmarketL #FF
- Replying to @ZaleskiLuke and @elonmuskAre you saying you don’t believe that we flew in 320,000 immigrants secretly?
- Replying to @GRDecterI must be really friggin old. I can't figure out how to get the app. Google is probably burying it. Nothing in the Apple App store. Tried web addresses, but I can't figure out how to get it on my devices or access it. Is there a website for it?
- Everyone says "Manage Risk, Use Stops" but never anything specific. Here's a thread on how to use stops. 1) Your practical stop should be placed just below the low of the entry bar. So, whatever bar or time frame you're using. If it goes lower than that first bar, get out.
- Replying to @AsymTradingA lot of people don't understand that risking $100 means that you would lose $100 if your stop loss kicks in. It doesn't mean buy $100 worth of a stock. If you make 5 times your risk, that's five hundred bucks. Worth it, even in a small account.
- You have got to start thinking bigger. Yes, do the quick swing trade. Great. But don't forget that True Market Leaders are game changing companies that go from $2 to $200 very quickly. $IONQ could be one of those stocks. Think big!
