So we're to sit in the corner and not critique your game. Don't want to piss you off more. But what I'm trying to teach all, is holding does not mean mistakes are OK. Protecting gains and re-entering, works much better with a long term position also. Do the math. .01 to .02 = 100% gain, but .02 to .01 = 50% loss. If you take your loss and re-enter for a move from .01 back up to .02, you take a 50% loss and get a 100% gain. It's all in the numbers. Holding gets you back to even, capital preservation, by taking you gain protection loss and re-entering gives you 50% more gains then holding.

If you played big board stocks, when you weren't available to watch the computer, you would have trailing stops protecting your plays, while away. Playing the OTC without being able to whack off to the L2 is your decision. These are all things you will have to think about. Yes we did talk about that. I think I said you should think about moving to exchange stocks.

I'm here to try to educate, not sooth the angree beast, man. Like you never told a student what they did wrong on a test. Don't take your anger out on the teacher.


PS, a visual about being able to see change more quickly in the DMI over the MACD. I always say MACD is for position trades and DMI for swing trades.

Buys vs Sells....
This needs clarification.
If ooks at iHub Trades and views the numbers of Buys vs Sells, who is selling and who is buying?

If the Insiders and Big Guys are and we are the buyers, then when we buy, is it recorded as a Sell by insiders and others?

I don't know the answer but find it confusing
