A trading strategy, for example, consisting of three points, of which one point is practising in a trading game
Yeah I know the title sounds like a textbook but hear me out lol. I kept losing money because I'd read about a strategy, get excited, and immediately try it with real cash. Dumb. So I forced myself to make a simple 3-step thing: 1. Pick ONE setup and stick …
GoEasy Financial crashed last week. Reporting Thursday.
Is anyone following GoEasy Financial (gsy) on the TSX? They're a Canadian sub-prime lender (I love it - they say, "near prime"). Were trading over $200 (that's Canadian dollars, so, I don't know, 37 cents american) last fall, were criticized in a short report, wrote off about $140 million in …

A few points to discuss on today’s market whiplash
1. A large percent of daily trading is done on algorithms that use many metrics, one being sentiment that analyzes keywords in major media outlets. As well as the obvious, the Presidents Truthsocial posts. So I would consider the whiplash as ai slop. 2. Put yourself in Irans shoes and …
