@FabioMrqz That's true, other than the politicians who buy/sell based on insider information. My point is: why was the narrative so much more bearish a few months ago, when the charts are so much worse now?

[ThePivotalTrader @Pivotal_Trader]

Back in mid-July I heard so much about how the S&P was dropping precipitously.

Well..now we've made 2 failed attempts at the previous high and it's dumping and I'm not hearing anything.

I think the S&P chart looks much worse now than it did in July.

I've been backtesting this strategy on NQ, I can verify the high win rate using his 2:1RR risk management strategy.

I guess this guy is one of the very few honest trading YTubers out there. This is an A+ strategy.

Blew up my Forex account.
Not because of my risk management strategy, but because I accidentally entered "70.00" instead of "0.70" for my position size.

^A lesson to Forex traders^

I'm glad to be done with Forex/MT5. I really grew to hate it. Onward Futures!

#Bitcoin 15-minute bearish structure has now held strong for 7 follow throughs in a row without even a wick to test the previous bear structure highs. Brutal for bulls!

@TraderBambu What type of chart candles are these?

[ThePivotalTrader @Pivotal_Trader]

@archi_tradition @world_walkerz I wouldn't consider visiting NY, let alone live there.

@APompliano I think that given inflation, it's just too damn expensive to drink.

@InternetH0F One of the all-time funniest clips. Makes me wonder if it's fake.

[ThePivotalTrader @Pivotal_Trader]

I love backtesting too much. My analytical mind is fascinated by studying charts. Problem is, this leads me to revising a bit too much...so...

I'm only going to look at charts for the purpose of trading my current strategies for Gold & NQ/MNQ until Nov 1.
