How I Would Use Trend-Following Strategy With MACD on BBAI
Trend-following trading is probably the most popular way for traders to generate trading signals. Traders expect that by using a trend-following trading approach they will be able to realize larger winning trades by capturing long-lasting trending movements. Using a trend-following trading approach, traders first must identify an existing trending market and then they search for trading opportunities that profit when the trend continues. The first challenge, therefore, is identifying a trending market, The benefit of trend-following trading is that when a trader is able to catch a long-lasting trending move, the profit potential may be very large. One important aspect of trend-following trading is that traders must realize that as a trend-following trader, you will not be able to capture t
Who Owns the Stocks?We should probably expect the red part to go up as life expectancy goes up (went from about 75yrs to almost 80yrs over that period — that’s about 5 more years of compounding!). The younger crowd made a bit of a comeback as the pandemic stimulus made stocks cool again. But the 40-54 years cohort has been squeezed the most — perhaps due to rising house prices meaning mortgage payments take priority over saving and investing (maybe also people having kids later in life) $.SPX(.SPX)$$SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$$.IXIC(.IXIC)$$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$$NASDAQ 100(NDX)$<

Special thanks to @TigerTradingNotes for the invitation. I'm excited to share my experiences from the past year with all of you, and I hope we can witness my growth and hard work together. December 2024 marks two and a half years since I opened my account at Tiger Broken. As the year draws to a close, I would like to briefly look back on this year and share some of the gains I’ve made in trading: ROR (TYD): 47.01% ROR (2.4 years): 145.19% Sharpe Ratio: 1.07 Max Drawdown: -19.78% Self-Review Overall, I’m “fairly satisfied” with this result.

My first post of Year 2025 and I am a harbinger of “not so good” news. Dear oh dear ! Wall Street lost ground on the last trading day of 2024 - Tues, 31 Dec 2024, closing the book on a remarkable year for equities. Twin factors that have been powered US market to record highs are (a) artificial-intelligence (AI) boom and (b) US Fed's first, interest rate cuts in 3½ years. On Wall Street, major US stock indexes ended Tuesday’s session in the red, after oscillating between small gains and losses early in the session, ending a languid, low-volume session that contrasted with the tumultuous year that preceded it. When 4pm came a knocking: (see above) DJIA: -0.07% (-29.51 to 42,544.22). S&P 500: -0.43% (-25.31 to 5,881.63). Nasdaq: -0.90% (-175.99 to 19,310.79). Treasury yields and Inflatio
