I'm thinking of using Wealth Simple (does anyone here use them to trade?). I'm going to start with a laughable amount of capital, because I'm 20 and need money for tuition. I'm thinking of starting with $50. Anyone have actual advice, I went to reddit for advice and everyone just said that I was idiot Wealthsimple seems alright and with $50 probably best for you at this time with the commission free trading. It lacks a lot of stocks, but that doesnt mean theres not a decent selection. most stocks you see people chat about on here aren't on it, but I'd reccomend using it atleast until u got the hang of trading 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What weight do you put into how over bought/ over sold something is based on the moving average? For example this is NKLA today with the Moving Average line... looks like it is over bought on the day and week if you use that as the metric. Day: Week: What moving average have you put in there and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind roots into another question is what moving average is most valuable to use? I used SMA because it seems to be commonly used.. no other reason.

Things seem to be going a little too well as of late besides today. This is a loaded question. There's many things to keep an eye on to gauge market direction. Economic data, Central bank policy, bonds/yields, gold, US dollar, oil etc. Usually they all have a somewhat symbiotic relationship. Lately we are seeing a lot of sector rotation that doesn't make much sense. Seems like the markets as a whole are undecided on direction so equities are taking the lead. Lead by the guiding hand of Federal reserve policy. By 'things going too well' I assume you mean this thread and the endless pump and dumps? Pump and dumps have been around for ages. But this time is a little different. The velocity of the moves combined with the obscene volume is a new wrinkle. For example, yesterday 500 million shares of bankrupt HTZ traded. 500 million is an awful lot of volume. Perhaps not in dollar volume but in absolute volume. It literally makes no sense. They have $20 billion dollars of debt and have told everyone they're fracked. Why are people buying this? If Carl Ichan threw in the towel and dumped his entire HTZ position, what makes people think they are smarter than him? It's just gambling. Financial musical chairs. The dumb money will be the ones who lose. You have a number of factors contributing to this. Huge amounts of liquidity, commission free trading (in the USA anyway), and a huge influx of new players (mostly Covid refugees) into the markets looking to strike it rich. Most of these people were doing something else in January. They'll probably be doing something else next January. Here is a research note from Deutsche Bank about sports bettors with nothing to do these days making their way into financial markets.I trust since this is a sports website that probably everyone here has placed a sports wager or two in their lifetimes that many will find it interesting. https://www.axios.com/sports-betting-stock-market-surge-0e945773-d676-4f0a-a6a0-a0f92611b10b.html Just read everything I wrote.

I'm confused by your question Yes it is but you have to program in what time frame you want. For example, below is an hourly chart of S&P futures. The blue line is a 100 SMA. The average price over the last 100 hours. The red line is a 200 SMA. The average price over the last 200 hours. I have chosen these two time frames for specific reasons. Different people chose different time frames. 2 buddies of mine who day trade very actively like using a 50 SMA as they trade stocks on a shorter time frame. What is the time frame on your SMA? Blue line is a little difficult to see in this screen grab. Edited June 9, 2020 by nuckin_futz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue line is a little difficult to see in this screen grab. Mine was at 50.. Is the hour set as trading hours or calendar hours (ie. 50 hours = 9ish trading days, or 2 calendar days)? And why is it that you choose 100 & 200? What are the specific markers you look for in either line? I assume the longer the SMA the more suitable it is for long term outlook and for long term holds?
