can i sell call option before expiry? Replied 5 months ago - Yes, you can sell option before expiry. But you must ensure the market is liquid enough, meaning there are enough buyers for the options or you are going to be stuck selling to some shit head buyer that will give you an unfair price.

anyone know how to find expected value in trading? Replied 5 months ago - EV helps you find out the probability that every trade you take will end in a profit. I always calculate EV for every trading strategy separately, so I know which strategy is more profitable. The best EV figure should be above 0.25. Calculate EV using formula (win rate x amount won on each trade) minus (loss rate x amount lost on each trade) You need to be honest with yourself when calculating EV, if possible, use an excel spreadsheet to populate all your wins in one column and all your losses in another then take the sum of each column.

how do I know I am revenge trading? Replied 5 months ago - when your ego tells you you're a super-trader who can't lose. You just don't want to see a loss in your trading account statement. Thats how you know you're self-destructing and revenge trading. Its okay to end the day in a loss, it doesnt mean youre a bad trader, it just means the odds were not in your favor. After a losing day, just g back to the drawing board and conduct a post-morterm to find out why you lost. Once you discover the reason you lost and you make improvements, you will likely recover the loss the next day.

stop loss or hedging, which is a better risk management method? Replied 5 months ago - hedging is too difficult to manage for me; I like to set a trade and go to sleep instead of continuously monitoring a hedge. besides i think hedging can encourage one not to accept losses and to try to engage in risk-free trading. This can be counterproductive in the long run.

are forex signals on telegram really profitable? Replied 5 months ago - Depends on who you are getting the signal from. But i noticed there is always a problem of late execution, where the signals are received late after the price has already moved. This leads to late execution of the trade, and the end result will not be profitable.

what is strike price meaning in options trading? Replied 5 months ago - Strike price is like the price at which the option contract is awakened and can be used or exercised. As long as the market value of the underlying future has not reached the strike price, the option remains dormant and out of the money.

how exactly do regulators monitor forex brokers? Replied 5 months ago - I think the brokers are supposed to render reports on their activities to the regulators, who will then scrutinize them.

what are futures contracts in forex trading? Replied 5 months ago - Futures Pricing & Cost: Futures trade on exchanges every day so the price will be displayed, and the price also fluctuates according to market forces. You can click on any futures to see the contract specs. In the image attached, we see a Platinum Futures (PLV5) trading at a current market price of $1,359. However, from the contract specs we see that each PLV5 contract contains 50 troy ounces of platinum so the notional value of the contract will be ($1,359 x 50 ounces) = $67,950 When you buy and hold a futures contract overnight, it will be marked-to-market meaning you will be debited if the final daily settlement price is lower than your entry price. You will also be credited if the final daily settlement price is higher than your entry price.

when do futures open on sunday? Replied 5 months ago - 6 PM EST is when the futures market opens for trading every Sunday (except when the stock exchange is on market holiday or something). On Sundays you may not get good liquidity on some futures so the best futures I trade on Sundays for good liquidity are S&P 500 futures mini, crude oil futures, and gold futures.

in the money vs out of the money options, whats the difference? Replied 5 months ago - I think "at the money" often means when strike price equals current futures market price. Ath the money is not yet a profitable contract because by the time you deduct cost of buying the contract, it collapses back into unprofitability. In the money is when the option is really in profit because current market price has already exceeded strike price so even if you deduct the premium (cost of buying the option) chances are you will be left with a profit (except the premium is very high)

is it bad to exit a trade before your stop loss is hit Replied 5 months ago - I would only do it if i wanted to switch bias. For instance, if i were short and i wanted to change bias to long, then i would close the short trade and open a long one.

why do brokers locate their servers in London & New York? Replied 5 months ago - I guess it is to reduce latency. The brokers server has to be as close as possible to that of the liquidity provider, if clients are going to get instant execution of orders.

what is hfx trading, how much to get started? Replied 5 months ago - hfx trading is just another hoax like ICT & order Block, don't fall for it. There is no need to overcomplicate trading by trying every new thing you hear of. Basically, hfx trading is just trading lower time frames actively and racking up small profits but it's not practical in reality.

how do i set the correct time zone on my trading platform? Replied 5 months ago - You may need to contact your MetaTrader broker to move you to a new server that aligns with your timezone. On TradingView you can simply change it by editing the time zone settings but on MetaTrader it is more complicated. This one reason why TradingView is so popular!!!

what is CFD trading & why is it popular? Replied 5 months ago - To add to what @skyfall has already said, CFDs are different from betting because in betting the profit/loss outcome is a fixed amount which you will already know from the onset. However, in CFD trading the amount you will profit/loss is not known at the beginning because it depends on the price at which you exit the contract at. Let's say you entered a long EUR/USD CFD contract at price 1.1625, to make profit the price must rise above 1.1625. You are free to exit the long CFD contract at any price you like; the higher the price you exit at, the more profit you make and vice versa.

is copy trading risky? Replied 5 months ago - @ozgal I wouldn't take recommendations from anyone here. You can check for yourself but copy trading is at your own risk. If the person you are copying sustains losses there's nothing you can do about it, no refunds!!! I always prefer to trade by myself and hold myself accountable.
