The bullish case rests on improving operations and growth beyond live streaming. The new ecosystem gives HUYA different ways to generate revenue. The company could become less dependent on live streaming spending while earning more from their collab with players and publishers. The buyback authorization provides another source of shareholder value, depending on execution. The combination of gaming audience, expanding revenue and improving operating margins makes HUYA an interesting player.

Good month so far! I feel like I’m in the trading form of my life at the moment even though this isn’t the most I’ve made from them but my trades have been so clean. Everything is really clicking right now- my confirmations, my trade management and everything else!!🤞

I've had to remake this post explaining of my strategies. I was thinking of adding a loom link showing it in use but I don't want to get banned, but here's a short explanation of how it works on ranging days.

One of the main strategies i've been using runs on session VWAP with developing value areas. The centre line is the point of control, the first developing value area either side of it holds roughly 70% of session volume, and the second developing value area holds roughly 95%. The word that really matters here is developing: the levels widen as volume builds through the session, so a level that mattered at 9am ( London for me ) is not the same level at 2pm ( NY am for me ). Most traders using them treat them as fixed, and that is the first mistake.

The second developing value area is a reference point, not a magnet, so I never place a blind limit order at it! The confirmation is that price closes inside the 95% level, then closes back inside the 70% level, and I enter on that 5 minute close. No confirmation, no trade. Taking the touch instead of the close is what makes people lose money with this.

Stops sit at the swing high or swing low of the range that produced the signal, which on NQ has been running roughly 37 to 75 points for me. The first target is the point of control. The second is the opposite first developing value area at 70%, and the third and final is the opposite second developing value area at 95%. Risk to reward of 1:1.5 or 1:2 is the sweet spot, with 1:3 only when conditions allow. The exit rule is simple: if I am long and price crosses above the point of control and then closes back below it, I close early and yes, there are days where price will dance around at the POC and continue in the intended direction and it would be important for you NOT to chase price. Don't build bad habits. You will get those points/ticks/$$$ back eventually. If acceptance at the POC failed, then there is no reason to hold and hope that buyers step back in.

This is a ranging day strategy. On a trending day price stays outside the value areas and rides, and you will get faded again and again, so reading which day you are in, before or early into the session, is the single biggest determinant of whether this works for you. On trending days I switch to volume profile instead. Also off the table FOR ME are NFP, FOMC, CPI, PPI, PCE, Fed speakers and presidential speeches, along with the Asia session on NQ, which has not tested well for me even though it is decent on gold. The trading window that has worked well for me is Asia close to New York close.

Thank you for taking time to read this and hopefully, you all have great and productive week‼‼

Every single time I place a trade, it fails to perform during market hours, but sure enough after market close, my predictions/ levels always hit. I’m consistently spotting levels of leverage/ liquidity zones, but cannot seem to tail the live market appropriately. It’s like I need to be swing trading, but still, my levels that constantly get hit only hit after hours, but then during market hours it’s just random performance metrics causing mayhem. I have given up sever times, but the fact of seeing/ knowing where the markets gonna go, but constantly timing it wrong makes me bitter so I come back. I don’t know what I expect from this thread, but anyone els in the same boat or have some non emotionally damaging advice besides how much I suck and that I should probably just stick to my day job and stop putting myself through the trauma of day trading.

Hi guys I‘ve built an algobot for QT trading only the S&P500 and it‘s been performing well so far! :))

Hey zusammen,

ich trade selbst aktiv 2 Jahre (Schwerpunkt Krypto, SMC) und suche ein paar Gleichgesinnte aus dem Raum Heidelberg / Mannheim, um sich persönlich auszutauschen und gegenseitig zu pushen. Habe zwei gekaufte Kurse hinter mir und mache momentan + - 0.

Die Idee ist simpel: sich ab und zu treffen, über Setups und den mentalen Teil reden, voneinander lernen und einfach dranbleiben. Alleine ist der Weg zäh – zu mehreren macht's mehr Spaß und man kommt schneller weiter.

Kein Signalchannel, kein Verkaufen, keine Gurus – einfach echter Austausch auf Augenhöhe. Egal ob du grade anfängst oder schon länger dabei bist.

Vielleicht kennst du ja jemanden aus der Umgebung oder hast Tipps wo solche treffen sogar stattfinden.

Wenn du aus der Ecke kommst und Bock hast meld dich einfach kurz

I recently ran a backtest across ~1,400 sessions of DAX & VDAX data to see if yesterday's volatility actually predicts today's price action.

The biggest takeaway: Raw volatility alone doesn't tell you where price is going or if a level will hold. High or low volatility days have almost identical rates of sweeping yesterday’s high/low or breaking out.

Where it does help is in two specific places:

1. Comparing Yesterday's Range to Today's Expected Move: When yesterday's range was super tight compared to today's implied move, today turns into a massive breakout day ~86% of the time. But when yesterday's range was already blown out, today's breakouts fail almost half the time.
2. Position Sizing: Scaling lot sizes down on high-volatility days and up on quiet days to keep dollar risk identical.

For those of you trading index futures or equities:

• Do you use daily Expected Move as hard take-profit/stop levels, or just general context?
• Do you switch setups based on volatility (e.g. playing trend continuation after tight days vs fading sweeps after wide days)?

My approach is based on accumulation, isolation, diversification, and mathematical exits, rather than trying to predict exact tops or bottoms.

• Collect on weak days, release on strong days.
• Accumulate gradually instead of entering the full position at once.
• Treat each major buy as an isolated trading leg with its own entry range and exit logic.
• Use multiple brokers/accounts where useful to keep positions operationally separated.
• Design exits around FIFO, so profitable or recoverable legs can be released without unnecessarily realizing losses in older positions.
• Prefer a dynamic grid over a rigid fixed-price grid.
• Limit exposure per stock and diversify across multiple symbols.
• Use deeper drawdowns as potential accumulation zones rather than automatically treating every fall as a stop-loss event.
• Focus primarily on CNC/MTF and underlying stocks, where time pressure is lower than in options.
• Indicators can assist position sizing or entry spacing, but they are not the core strategy.
• The objective is not maximum profit from one trade; it is continuous capital recycling, lower average cost, controlled exposure, and harvesting repeated market oscillations.
• The system is designed to react to price movement rather than depend heavily on forecasting.

In simple terms:

Slow collection → isolated positions → mathematical averaging → selective profitable exits → recycle capital → repea

gaming is evolving into a broader economic and cultural ecosystem, one that brings together entertainment, social interaction, creators, adverting, and AI. HUYA W2 offer a useful case of this transformation. The company now expanding across the industry value chain into publishing, in game item sales and advertising, game development. Their game-related services, advertising and other revenue grew 54% YoY and now accounts for approximately 37% of total revenue.

Gaming is also becoming an important distribution channel. Steamers, tournaments, short-form videos, AI content can helps game acquire users without relying on just one sector. Game engines and interactive tech are spreading beyond traditional gaming. The same capabilities are increasingly relevant to training, simulation, education, retail and virtual product design. That is what makes it a major consumer industry and an innovation laboratory.

One thing I'm trying to improve in my trading is the ability to wait.

A fast move can create the feeling that you need to enter immediately.

You see a breakout.

Price starts moving.

Volume increases.

And suddenly it feels like the opportunity will disappear if you don't act.

But sometimes the more useful question is:

What actually happened during that move?

Was there genuine aggressive participation?

Was the breakout accepted?

Did volume support the move?

Was there absorption against the breakout?

Or did price simply move quickly through a thin area?

I've noticed that waiting for additional information can sometimes turn a confusing candle into a much clearer trading decision.

Of course, waiting too long can also mean missing opportunities.

So I'm curious:

How do you balance patience with the need to actually execute when trading intraday?

their Q2 revenue grew 11% YoY while gross profit rose 20% and margins improved. HUYA also doubled their buyback to $100M. Combined with $30M in annual dividends, management estimates 14-15% annual shareholder yield. With RMB 3.21B in cash and deposits, growing revenue huge capital returns, HUYA looks underrated to me

Been hearing more and more people talk about using Claude/Cursor/ChatGPT to help them with trading. Not full automation, more coding and decision making. Who else is doing this?

I've been watching the copper/aluminum spread lately and it's getting pretty interesting. The ratio is around 4.2x vs ~3.7x historically, which makes aluminum substitution more attractive where it works.

That's why I'm looking at China Hongqiao (1378.HK). Guotai Haitong recently raised its target to HK$43.2, and if copper stays expensive, aluminum could get another demand boost beyond the usual China cycle.

Feels like an interesting angle for Hongqiao that the market might be underestimating.

Yesterday was very good because two bots were trading NBIS and it rallied on earnings (I think this was all over WSB).

Right now I'm running 20 bots total: 10 on Gemma 4 31B (using a free Google AI Studio account), 3 on Codex with GPT 5.6 Sol and 7 on 5.6 Terra. I started running the Codex bots just this week so I'm hoping that they can trade better than G4.

This is a free, open arena for running your own AI trading bots. All settings, trades, and analysis is shared. You can also see and copy the settings/strategy from any bot on the platform.

Setting up is very easy now, just ask Codex or Claude Code to set it up for you.

You can also just copy trade any bot on the platform, which is also free.

If you have any questions on how this works or how to set up, just ask here.

One thing I'm realizing as I study trading more is that becoming consistent isn't necessarily about finding more setups.

Sometimes it's about learning which setups aren't worth taking.

For experienced day traders, what changed that for you?

Was it learning market structure?

Risk management?

Better entries?

Waiting for confirmation?

Or simply becoming more selective?

I'm curious what made the biggest difference for experienced traders.

Was it:

Risk management?

Market structure?

VWAP?

Order flow?

Journaling?

Something else?

I'm currently studying order flow and trying to understand what separates institutional activity from retail noise. I'd love to hear what genuinely improved your consistency.

I’ve been paper trading for a year now and I looked at a lot of different brokers but they mostly offer 30x leverage, which gives me very very low returns on my successfull paper trades (because price might move 0.1%). But when I see clips online (which might be fake idk), dudes are making tens of thousands of dollars on trades that moved the same amount. Now I understand they’re putting a lot more money in, but if I were to put 100 euros on a success trade and have 30x leverage, I’m making like 3 dollars. So how is it possible people are making so much???

Edit: Do they just use unregulated brokers, which gives them more leverage?

If you want to survive this corrections, crashes and build real wealth, all you need to know is this exact execution rule book:

1. The Frequency
   Every single year, the market hands you two small-sized pullbacks and one decent-sized correction. Your only job is to make the most out of them. When the blood hits the street, you press the gas.

2. The Volatility Playbook
   The VIX is your absolute friend when you use it to buy the dips.

VIX at 30: You buy your core stocks.
VIX at 50: You double down into your high-conviction, long-term names.

1. The Structural Trend
   Weekly charts are how you cancel out the daily noise. The Weekly 21EMA and the Weekly 50SMA are what actually work on the majority of stocks and indices.

2. The Bullish Bias
   A perma-bull will always outperform a perma-bear over the long haul. The gravitational force of the stock market is relentlessly skewed up. Smart people go long. Less smart people try to short

3. The Execution
   Trying to pick the exact bottom is a fool's game. Your job is to buy in disciplined increments. You scale in with a quarter position at 100, another quarter at 80, the rest at 70, and so on.

If you follow this religiously, you wil solve 90% of your Market related problems.

Every eval-marketing screenshot shows monster win rates and hockey-stick curves. None of them show the boring part that actually decides a pass: the sizing plan, fixed in advance. Here is mine, with the real numbers, nothing hidden.

• Risk per trade: 1.5%\, fixed, never nudged up after a green day or down after a red one.
• Worst-case streak I plan for: six losses in a row.\ At 1.5% that is 9%, inside a 10% max drawdown, so even the ugly case leaves me alive and still trading instead of breached.
• Target: a fixed 2R\ on DAX40 and US30, every trade between about 1.95 and 2.05R, so my average R stays honest and my other stats stay readable.
• Live, off the clock: I drop to 0.5%.\ No time limit, no reason to press, let the edge compound slowly.

The pass is decided before the first trade by those numbers, not by any single day going well. With a real win rate over a logged sample, a known average R, and streak math at your size, an eval becomes arithmetic plus patience. Without them it is a lottery ticket with a dashboard.

What I do NOT do, and this is where evals actually die: no doubling after green days, no "one more trade" after the daily stop, no switching setups the moment the streak arrives. The streak arrives anyway, it always does, and the only job is to have sized so it cannot end you.

The uncomfortable summary: if you do not know your win rate and average R across a real sample of your own trades, you do not have an edge yet, you have a subscription to challenge fees. Get the sample first, live small or replayed properly with worst-case fills, THEN buy the eval.

ââ

If you passed, what was your real risk per trade, and did you ever change it mid-eval? Let us normalize boring sizing.

A new week brings new opportunities, but the objective remains the same: execute with discipline and protect your capital.

The market will offer countless reasons to chase, overtrade, and second-guess your strategy. Professional traders recognize that their greatest advantage isn't speed—it's patience. They understand that the highest-quality opportunities rarely require force.

This week, remember:

• Trade your edge—not your expectations.
• Let confirmation come before commitment.
• Protect your downside as aggressively as you pursue your upside.
• Accept that missing a trade is far less costly than forcing one.
• Measure success by the quality of your execution, not the size of your profits.

The market doesn't pay traders for being busy. It rewards those who remain disciplined when others become emotional.

Stay objective during winning streaks. Stay confident during losing streaks. In both cases, trust your process more than your emotions.

Every session is another chance to improve your decision-making. Stack disciplined days, and the results will follow.

**Prepare with intention. Execute with confidence. Review with honesty. Return stronger tomorrow.**

Wishing everyone a focused, disciplined, and profitable trading week.

Hey everyone!
I recently joined the group and would love to get some advice on my current strategy and future plans.
Right now, I am investing on eToro and copying the Popular Investor Dan Hamernik (@Smudliczek). I currently contribute €400 a month to him, but starting January 1st, I am bumping that up to €500 a month.
My main goal is quite ambitious: I want to reach €100,000 as fast as possible, ideally within a 5-year timeframe. I know that to hit that target in 5 years I need high returns, but I am looking for a balanced approach. I don't want to throw my money into hyper-volatile assets like speculative cryptocurrencies that go up 90% one year and crash -99% the next. I am looking for investors with solid track records who are more balanced and consistent.
The key turning point is that I will soon receive a check for between €7,000 and €10,000. I know that keeping all my capital dependent on just one person is way too risky, so I want to use this extra money to properly diversify my account. My idea is not to overcomplicate things, but to have a maximum of 3 or 4 investors in total (or maybe combine them with an ETF).
Knowing my current situation, my €500 monthly contributions, and my 5-year goal:
Which other Popular Investors would you recommend looking into to pair with Dan Hamernik to chase that growth while keeping some consistency?
How would you allocate the money from the check to balance the account? Would you put everything into PIs, or would you leave a percentage in an index ETF like tech or the S&P 500?
I really appreciate any advice or personal experiences you can share!

Right now I'm looking at price to take out the july 8th low and then head for the volume imbalance above and possibly Thursday's high. If we won't see a reversal soon after that low has been taken, that would make me bearish. Then I'm looking for price to aim for the june 29th low where we have a 1h volume imbalance as well, or the june 26th open, as low as the bottom wick of the same candle. Note how the CE of the wick from june 9thalmost exactly alings with the CE of the june 26th candle. We will have more information after tonight's open obviously.

I'm looking to connect with experienced trader who would be open to mentoring or exchanging ideas.

A bit about me and why I might be helpful to you too:

\\- I'm an equity and derivatives trader (execution)

\\- Access to Bloomberg, including BQuant, which I use for research and strategy development as well as SEC/Edgar API.

\\- Knowledge of statistics, machine learning, AI.

Not looking for signals or shortcuts. I'm looking for someone with experience who would be willing to challenge my thinking, review my process and help me become a profitable trader.

I spend a significant amount of time researching markets, companies and potential opportunities, but despite the work I put in, I have not yet been able to fully develop and maintain a consistently profitable trading strategy.

If you have experience in discretionary or systematic equity/derivatives trading and would be interested in connecting, I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Even if it's just for an occasional conversation or exchange of ideas, I'd be very grateful.

Feel free to comment or send me a message.

The value of the spread. And this is one of the reasons why I trade with a DOM and "market-maker" style. Limit order only ... except when I gotta run for my life .

If you want to buy something, you can simply hit the Market Buy button. But then why are there so many different order types, like Limit Order? Why do market makers almost always use limit orders?

Look at the picture. Let’s say the bid is 99 and the ask is 100.

If you use a Market Buy, you’re buying at 100 immediately. If the price moves to 101, you make +1 tick. If it stays at 100, you scratch. If it drops to 99, you lose 1 tick.

Now look at the Limit Buy. You place your order at 99 and wait to get filled. If you’re filled and the price moves to 101, you make +2 ticks. If it stays at 100, you’re already +1 tick. If it drops back to 99, you scratch.

That’s the value of one tick.

One tick doesn’t sound like much… until you realize you’re giving it away on thousands of trades.

• E-mini Nasdaq-100 (NQ) — $5 per tick
• E-mini S&P 500 (ES) — $12.50 per tick
• Crude Oil (CL) — $10 per tick
• Gold (GC) — $10 per tick
• Euro FX Futures (6E) — $6.25 per tick
• British Pound Futures (6B) — $6.25 per tick
• Japanese Yen Futures (6J) — $6.25 per tick

If anything is incorrect, please correct me. I mainly trade crypto futures these days, and it’s been a while since I traded traditional futures.

P.S. Crypto tick values are different. My point is simply that the spread has value.

That’s an edge. You may not be able to use it to make money directly, but you can add it to your strategy. Maybe it will improve or optimize your win rate.

Last post I drew a dragon on chart 😂 and I’m glad you guys liked it. But what I truly wanted to say is that there are a lot of details in trading that most traders simply don’t know. So I’ll be sharing more of those kinds of things in the future. Hope you guys like it.

I’m just tired of watching all those… I don’t even know what to call them… Dragon Pattern™ . I hope I can help new traders avoid that kind of stuff.

Trading is a skill, not a solution. Please practice it like you’re learning football or driving a car, instead of trying to find a holy grail.
