One of them already is LOL....
I've been discouraged to get my 11 yr old lifting but after a nice chat with an MLS prospect I recently met, he told me get a personal trainer stat, he was a late bloomer and got early weight training and made a lot of difference by the time he was in HS.

If properly monitored and taught, there's no harm,.

I use Fidelity but not because of its UI but because its the easiest to juggle my kids UTMA/my IRA/my cash brokerage account. I do like their "Chart +" for tracking channels and and support/resistance. But they dont have an easily viewable option chain. Honestly Robinhood might have the best UI as much I refuse to use their platform. I used Schwab 8 years ago and moved all of my assets off their platform because its horrible for anything other than buy and hold boomer investing.

I was on TDA and they dumped me into Schwabb.

It was okay at first, then they changed stuff so it was exactly as you described... meant for buy/hold investors.

Heres todays SPY Daily chart im trading off of tomorrow. Its obviously very bearish as you can see we close at the days low which is usually a sign that we will continue to seek a bottom AH and open even lower tomorrow. I think there is a 50/50 chance we retest the 540 demand level tomorrow although given whats going on right now i would be shocked if we break it. I have a weekly demand level not shown on this chart at 532.86 and I think this will be tested as well tomorrow.

I kept about half my put position overnight and locked in the other half, my general strategy tomorrow will be to wait and see early but start to buy Puts at $2 increments (538,536,534,532 etc.) if/when we get close to 540, and then be very quick to sell as we approach 532 if it bounces. I dont expect to breach 532 in one go, for example SPY bounced off the 540 demand level twice today - once at 11:06 and once at 2:30 before finally breaking through it at 3:16. I suspect we will see early pricing drop after open but turn and retrace up to near 540 before rejecting around mid day and going back down to 532ish, repeating a similar price pattern we saw today and most of Monday.


I had a really good day of trading today, the market hit almost all of my targets to the tee and I was able to cash in big returns with investing only about 30% of my dry powder. I am still mostly cash as we get closer to the bottom of my channel the risk of a rebound becomes significantly greater. Wish me luck for tomorrow.

Holy Moly markets gonna have another historic down day, wish I had held all my puts over night. Buying SPX 4/18 5200 Puts immediately at open and riding into valhalla.

Edit: Sold everything at open and opened a new position per above - locked in 39k of profit since Tuesday. Terrible whats happening to our country, etc etc. I have to go back like a year on my charts to find new supports/supply levels we have blown through everything from the last 7 months.

I sold my 5200P position for 10% when SPX hit 5200 - I think market is going to retrace up but my chart and supports are no longer relevant considering how far we dropped and I dont feel confident gambling blind.
