How does this help long traders you wonder ? We will explain how longs accepting locate fees in mass and (hoarding them) produces 1000% squeezes And gives them cheap locates to short on the back of the move

The fundamental problem we see with most retail traders is that they study/ learn setups first before learning to recognize/ identify market environments Which leads them to blame things such as psychology, manipulation and technical analysis (lol) when they go through downturns

"AI will never be able to do that." I love this sentence. Because every time someone says it, they're making an enormous bet against the future. They're betting that the limitations of a technology today are somehow permanent. They're betting that thousands of researchers, billions of dollars in investment and increasingly powerful systems will simply hit a wall. And they're usually making this prediction about something they haven't even tried doing with the latest models. I've watched AI go from struggling with basic programming tasks to independently building things that would have taken me weeks. In an absurdly short amount of time. And somehow there are still people confidently telling me what these systems will never accomplish. At what point does skepticism become an inability to recognize what's happening right in front of you?

Otro de esos mensajes de traders top que me decepciona un poco en lo personal. Imagínate en esta industria llena de vendehumos que casi no puedes creerle a nadie, y cuando hay alguien de verdad, el mensaje que trasmite de fondo tiene bastantes sesgos. Vamos por partes: -Where did you place your stop and would you lose the aforementioned risk you intended? Hay muchas maneras de medir el riesgo, el SL es solo una de ellas, especialmente en SC, tanto para Long como para Short, aunque más que nada en SS. -When you won how much did you win relative to your risk? I don't care about your PNL, I care about how well-constructed the trade was. Bastante indiferente...Todos conocemos estrategias de WR o RR, no veo por que debe ser un tema, ambas tienen sus pro y sus contras. -These are the factors that highlight your skill, not how pretty it looks. De vuelta, llamar al trading una "SKILL" cuando en realidad, no lo es, sino una distribución de resultados dónde debes tener esperanza matemática positiva. No tiene nada de Skill. Que algunos los hagan discrescional? Genial, cada uno a su manera, pero el Trading no es una "SKILL" que se aprende y ya, sino TODO JUGADOR DE FUTBOL SERIA MESSI. -If you want to impress me don't turn $10,000 risk into a $10,000 PNL trade... Turn a $3,333 risk into a $10,000 PNL trade. De vuelta ¿ Que tiene que ver el RR con lo "impresionante" de trader que eres ? Es que no lo entiendo... -Using an actual RR trade that I put up this week (12.5R)... in terms of ratio that means I could make $10,000 PNL with a $800 risk. Que bien, y también tu tasa de acierto será de 10% aprox, por lo cual si cuentas 800$ x 9 trades fallidos = 7.200$ arriesgados y un trade ganado a 12,5R te da 10.000$. Es decir, te deja algo en positivo, pero las rachas pueden ser duras. Pero bueno, quizá se pueda tener 20% de WR con RR 12,5:1 consistentemente, quien sabe. Top level traders can hit ratios much higher than 3:1 when they come by the right setups. Pero de vuelta, ¿ que tiene que ver el ratio ? A todos nos gustaría vender en el TOP TICK o comprar en el BOTTOM, pero quien carajo sabe cuál es el TOP o el BOTTOM ? Nadie, ni el mejor trader del mundo lo sabe. ¿ Que puede ser una buena idea buscar trades de mucho RR en escenarios concretos ? Si ¿ Por que no ? Genial, backtestealo y ya. -Nothing is more important than getting real with cold hard facts and the unequivocal truth that trading profitability is as simple as your average win/loss ratio and win rate. Suena bonito, pero no es así. El trading rentable requiere una prima de riesgo o un alpha, algo que te de una ventaja real. Manejar bien el riesgo y el positión sizing sin "edge", lo único que hará es que pierdas dinero con disciplina. Hay otras cosas que estoy de acuerdo que dice en este post, pero la conclusión que llego es siempre la misma: Ciertos outliers usan su propia experiencia como "verdad" cuando en realidad está llena de sesgo de superviviente y bias que, matemáticamente, NO SON CORRECTOS. PD: Esto no es HATE como siempre digo, es solo mi opinión personal. Mi respeto a todos los traders que han logrado resultados increíbles.

Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have blown up the same short sellers, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it. $OMH $SMX

Moves like $OMH are outlier but they rhyme Rig gets aggressive shorting because of sell off thinking it never moves again... Then guy like @short_cap comes in and triggers Execution Engine and boom You blow up your entire fund $5 > $70 on halt... Likely $100 soon but this is Small Cap all about Many times it's not just the Low float or micro float. Some of them are bogged down with dilution and bs. But the ones the corner, trap and flip those change lives

Remember, $NVDA's CEO cheated on his wife with $SPY, yet his wife still stood by his side. That loyalty might even end up benefiting the stock Now compare that to the girl you're crying over, who won't even text you back and left you for another man Let that sink in -Yo

Why a 2x US Investing Champion never adds to a losing trade: Mark Minervini (@markminervini) has been trading for 43 years and made 334.8% in the 2021 US Investing Championship. "If you start overriding the math and you say, well, the stock's come down, it was great at 50. I love it at 40 and I love it at 30." "I'm only right half the time." "Every 50% bear market starts as a 20% correction." "Almost every blow-up that I've ever seen is that type of person or that type of thinking." "Why did you buy it at 50? Why didn't you know it was going to go down? Because you're not that smart."

Microcap short sellers ! What is your obsession with pain ? From locate fees to teleport candles and black swan events Why does your buy button not work ? Curious to know how you only view markets in one direction , when clearly the upside has much greater potential .

Imagine being a small cap short seller and losing the day the market drops this much on some garbage micro cap. Some of you, not all of you,have lost an interest for the market or perhaps you never had it. Wake up late, lose, repeat. No idea what’s going on. Too used depending other traders to take the inverse of their trade and when there is no such thing, you are lost. Eventually others realize you aren’t actually a trader at all. Good luck.
