Those are really cute numbers. For someone that has been trading "over 20 years" is not much. Try to post something with more than a thousand trades. Anyone can make 50 trades out of luck. 

Attached are mine. 

Does this mean you win small and lose big? Notwithstanding your rate of return is above parity? Pardon me, I really dont know how to read this data.

 

I guess mine is worst (lose big, rate of return negative.)

Hi there.

Where can I see my rate of returns & win rate in IG?

[Margin requirements changed without warning!!!!]

If you bought $1000 worth of GME with $1,000 then you are not on margin.

If you bought $1,000 worth of GME with $250 then you are on the max 25% margin, and you have 3 days to transfer $750 else position will be closed at prevailing price.

The concerted effort by all brokers will probably lead to a mass sell-off which any traders/ investors would have visualized by now.

Note: I am not involved in GME

Casey, what's your view for DJ futures? I just need some direction from a pro who is watching charts day in day out 24/7.

I just kinda wish this forum will be more exciting with respective traders' thoughts, views and position. The charts posted here has no meaning to me. Am I dumb or what?

@Caseynotes,

If you set your stop losses too tight then you may be stopped out unnecessarily and if you stop them too wide then you may necessarily take a bigger loss than you needed to. 

 

This happens to me ALL the time.

I'm amazed at how different your perspective is based on the time frame of the charts you're looking at.  What looks like a down trend on a 15 minute chart can actually cause you to short into an uptrend, which you will easily see when you switch to 4 hours or daily.  That's why I think it's safer to take a position than trade on short-term movements.  Safer, but not necessarily more likely to win. 

The type of charts we trade depends on the expected time you want to TP. For 20-30pips in indices, I trade in m3 and rarely look beyond H1. The bigger chart are for a direction for the day, minute chart is where the execution is.
