Many new tra-ders face challenges without proper guidance. I found success by learning from James Clark's expertise.

​@@AudricEnriquezExactly, that's why I always rely on Mr. J. Clark's guidance in everything I do.

I recently sold half my tech stock holdings due to all-time highs, leaving me with $400k. Should I invest in ETFs now or wait for a market correction considering potential inflation?

Celebrating a $30k stock portfolio today from a $6k start. Investing wisely has given me time for family and future plans.

From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.

Same to you!

So glad you found value in my presentation. Thanks for watching! ^CM

Great question! This sort of indicator conflict is a conundrum that a trader should expect to encounter regularly when more than one technical study is employed. When such a conflict arises, the trader has a number of choices to be considered: 1. Move on to a chart with no conflict. (This is likely the most common action, in my experience.) 2. Assign priority to one or the other of the two studies. 3. Remove one study from future charts. 4. Use a different combination of studies, etc. You can see why technical analysis is a constant effort in experimentation, education, and plan refinement, and why each trader should likely have their own set of rules governing how such conflicts will be resolved. So, which of these approaches is "best" for you? That's a decision I'll have to leave to the trader. In any event, thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one! ^CM

This information from the thinkorswim Learning Center might be helpful: "In thinkorswim, you are provided with a number of default keyboard shortcuts that enable you to navigate between components or perform tasks without using a pointing device. To make your thinkorswim experience even more convenient, you can customize the list of key combinations to be used for certain commands. To customize the keyboard shortcuts: Press Setup in the top right corner of the window and choose Application Settings... from the menu. In the dialog window, choose the Hot keys tab. In the Hot keys dialog, you will see the list of commands split up into the following categories: General, Active Trader, WatchList, Chart, and thinkScript Editor. Each of these categories shows a number of commands you can create or customize shortcuts for. Click on the command you would like to customize the shortcut for. In the pane to the right, you will see the description of the command and the shortcut assigned to it (if any). To add or change the shortcut, choose Custom and specify the base key(s) for the combination: Ctrl, Alt, and/or Shift. Then select an additional key from the dropdown. If the combination you specified is already assigned to another command, you will see a notification. Clicking Reassign in this notification will discard the former hot key combination and assign it to the selected command. To remove the shortcut, choose None. You can also disable all shortcuts for a category by un-checking Enabled in its title. You can also restore default values for all hot keys by clicking Set all to defaults. When you have finished customizing your hot key combinations, click Apply settings. You can also view tooltips for hot keys directly in the application. Pressing any of the base keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) will display tooltips with additional keys next to components that are assigned a shortcut. Pressing the base key(s) with the additional one will redirect you to the corresponding component. Note that in order to view the hot key tooltips, you need to activate them in the Hot keys dialog first." ^CM

Happy holidays! ^KH

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for writing and enjoy!

So glad to hear my videos have been helpful. Enjoy the rest of the series! ^CM

To draw a circle/oval or a square/rectangle, just select the desired shape tool from the Drawing Tools menu, then click at the upper-left of where you intend to draw the shape, then click again at the lower-right. That's it! Thanks for watching! ^CM

Good question! As with most technical techniques, these strategies can theoretically be applied across a range of timeframes, including intra-day. Of course, regardless of timeframe, no technical approach carries a guarantee of performance on any given trade. Thanks for watching! ^CM

True, you can always get those bigger price moves, ^MF

Hi Allout. There are a lot of scans that are built into the thinkorswim platform under public stock hacker that might be helpful. They include things like gaps up and down, % Change Gainers and Losers, plus many others. Keep in mind that you want to trade those tickers with a lot of open interest. Practice a lot of paper trading as you develop a system that might work for you. ^CH

Thanks for watching. ^BM

Thanks, glad you found it helpful! ^MF

Glad you found it helpful, ^MF

Noted: I can share that with the next class, ^MF

I would start with this Getting Started with Options series. Here's the link: kzbin.info/aero/PL8a6s5nq1lPRcGlhhMLSqx1BK1rttI00R&si=Qg-bd_wTadeTwdZ2 ^Barb

My pleasure! ^CM

You're welcome. You too! ^Barb

Thank you! You, too! ^CM

You use the Option Hacker the same way you use the Stock Hacker, except the filters are for options data (instead of stock data), and the results will give you individual option contracts rather than the underlying stocks. Most option traders prefer to look for the underlying stock, but if you want to look for specific option contracts then it may be valuable for you. I don't have a webcast on the Option Hacker, but here is a link on how to use the Stock Hacker: kzbin.infonPMoE8EIwPw?feature=share ^BM

I'll have to add this to my list of Future Webcast Ideas. In the meantime, thanks for watching! ^CM

Thanks for attending! ^MF

To clarify, moving averages are commonly used as indications of potential trend or support and resistance - or both. So if one is already using it for support and resistance purposes, it would not normally be viewed as a conflict to also use it for trend-identification. As to whether one might use the 100- or 200-SMA, this generally falls to the intended timeframe of the trade: Longer trades typically emphasize longer moving averages, not that one is inherently "better" than another. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching! ^CM

As with most technical techniques, yes, this can conceptually be applied in either direction. ^CM

Welcome Richard! ^MF

Thanks for watching. ^Barb

Hi, ^MF

The probabilities I mentioned were from the Prob ITM and Prob of Touching columns on the Option Chain for the strikes we were considering for our example trades. ^Barb

I've forwarded this request, although I can never guarantee that a specific feature will ultimately be added to the platform. In any event, thanks for watching, Vinod! ^CM

You're welcome. ^Barb
