No coach, self learners in New Traders Oct 06 at 00:37

About technical indicators in New Traders Oct 06 at 00:14

Technical indicators are great, but only if you actually understand what they show.I used to load my charts with 10 of them and still couldn’t make a clear decision Now I stick to a few — moving averages and volume mostly — and focus on price action.Gerchik & Co’s analytics helped me learn how to use indicators with purpose, not just decoration.

Is API trading worth it? Any thoughts? in New Traders Oct 05 at 22:02

Yeah, API trading can be worth it — but only if you know what you’re doing. It’s great for automating strategies and removing emotion, but it still needs solid testing and monitoring.I’ve used Gerchik & Co, and their setup’s been pretty stable with good risk-management tools built in. Not a magic button, but definitely helpful if you trade with discipline.

About risk and fear: in New Traders Oct 05 at 15:26

Risk and fear are literally the core of trading — not the charts, not the indicators.The moment you stop respecting risk, the market humbles you fast. I used to panic every time a trade went against me until I learned to set clear limits and stick to them.What helped was using Gerchik & Co’s risk-management tool — it locks in daily loss limits, so you can’t blow up your account in one bad session. It forces discipline, which slowly kills that fear and helps you trade with a clear head.
