If you have a long position and the market is going down 400 pips in a few days and keeps going down not selling will mean you just increase your losses and just blow up your account. Better to sell to mitigate losses. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good plan. is very easy, if will go down = sell if will go up= buy. Win with Yinn! You can try. It looks easy when you know the past but all my friends who tried this strategy lost and are not trading anymore. It's easier to zoom out and look at the chart over multiple years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to mitigate the risk as much as possible. Spread yor portfolio, don't invest in "high gain, high pain" stocks.

Eventually, I got bored and teached myself how to program in a year. The funny thing is that I'm not a gambler and never played a game where I did not have a hedge except some lotto ticket when I was a teen... Poker teached me that I could make money by being right only 51% of the time, how to manage a bankroll and a lot of patience/self-control. It's possible to make a profit investing following the same basic principles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it got boring staring at two computer screens for 14 hours a day. Now I am a recreational player financial markets and poker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If will go up= you buy. Very easy. If you listen to Yinn, you win with Yinn. Yinn always win! I don't know much about stocks but the little understanding I have indicates exactly the contrary to what you are claiming stocks up= sell stocks down = buy as much as you can afford (chew) .... but maybe, (just maybe) in Thailand is the contrary Edited March 13, 2020 by Mavideol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logosone Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Sadly the most perfect chart analysis will be rendered useless by a ten word tweet from Donald Trump. Or Russians walking away from an OPEC agreement. Or Brexit news. News trumps technical analysis on occasion. That still doesn't mean you have to gamble. You can still have risk management. Strategy. TA used to work before AI came in. Technical analysis still works. Just not always. And will be trumped by news events. As long as you can factor that in it is of use. Most people still use it. As of course does AI. Edited March 13, 2020 by Logosone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical analysis works. Some chart patterns have an accuracy rate of 70%. Every major bank has traders that use technical analysis. There is a reason for this.
