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: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
