    Hi from Wales, markets can fake confidence as easily as panic, so staying focused on structure, key levels, and risk management matters more than perfect predictions, and sticking to that approach helped me hit my €350k goal this year.

    The silver price run from late 2025, early 2026, was not a meme rally. The LBMA and Shanghai metals exchanges were running critically low on physical supply. The COMEX had to fly out emergency supplies of silver.

    I love Wall Street Millenial content on AI, but he should stay in his lane, because he knows next to nothing about Silver. His analysis of a silver ETF rally was pretty ignorant

    How does the banks make money out of the swap lines if the gain or loss are all paid out? So they break even and don’t risk anything but where do they make money? Is holding on to the deposits enough?

    Chips started to sell off then Trump said good time to buy and probably bought hand over first using tax payer dollars and the sovereign wealth fund as a measure of national interests. He’ll never let a real sell off happen on his watch

    The biggest issue is the SK single stock etf has an option allowing retail investers to do 5x the leverage when purchasing the shares. When the stock went down the retail investers that used the 5x leverage had to cover the margin and the force liquidation resulted in a long squeez. From what I read, a lot of these retail investers bet their entire savings and now they face huge amount of debt after margin call. The government just raised the margin call by 3x hoping to delay the long squeez. What's worse is the SK president started all this because he wanted encourage people, especially the young people to invest in the stock market. He sold his house and went all in on the stock market. Now a lot of peopleare demanding him to resign. While the US borckerage has strict rukes about margin accounts,but anything can happen.

    Honestly, how are beginners supposed to survive one-minute scalping? I’ve been at it for a year, bought 4 different courses, and I’m still blowing accounts. Every time I think I’ve figured out a strategy, the market does the exact opposite. I’m literally one loss away from deleting my broker app and quitting for good. . .

    There is another thing you did not mention.
    Lots of traders place leveraged bets at the same time with their stop loss. Brokers and market makers do know all of these thresholds and will manipulate the stock prices to "fish" your stop loss. If you are careless enough to keep your bet overnight, you will wake up in the morning with your position closed at a huge loss, while the stock is still up.
    As a retail investor, you do not have a prayer competing with computerized institutional investors.
