I almost didn’t trade today (was only watching the markets in the late afternoon), but I did find a tiny last-minute scalp to take. It was a winner, but not much of one.
In the video, I talk a bit about the way this scalp set up, and how I chose my entry. This [...]
I was five for five today, with all wins. Feels good after yesterday, when I was only four for seven. In the video below, I go over all five trades, and one loss I had yesterday (since I was too sleepy to make a video yesterday). The trades today were on BEAV, [...]
I was going to take the day off, because everyone seemed to be focused on AAPL and BIDU (neither of which I like to trade), and the markets had another gap opening. Since I usually take a couple hours off each Thursday anyway, I thought it would be nice to just extend that outing.
But, [...]
As I mentioned not long ago, I’ve mostly stopped posting my day-to-day trades. There are just too many of them to spend time commenting about them all. It was easy enough when I made 10 trades a month, but I made 5 trades today alone (4 profitable, 1 loss). Because my [...]
I started of June in good shape, making 3.5 R by 11:30 EST and then taking the rest of the day off. Hard to beat that (unless you caught the wacky move by NTRI all the way from 66 to 72 and back at the open)!
Trade 1, DCEL
I made a trade literally at 9:30AM [...]
If you’ve been reading my reviews of my early trades, you know that I was wondering why I don’t trade some of those early ideas anymore. They aren’t bad ideas, really… my execution was just very bad on a lot of them. Today, I traded one of those old ideas.
I woke up late, [...]
It’s been a tough couple weeks. First, we had OPEX, and now a holiday weekend. I haven’t wanted to do much of the trend-following PnF-type trades because of it. Hopefully that will change soon. Today, most traders I know have quit for the day already, if they traded at [...]
It’s a choppy, rangebound day today so far (12:17 EST as I write this). I made two little scalp trades, both winners, for a total of 4.77R according to StockTickr. I still have a couple of stocks on my radar, but I think I may just call it a day. None [...]
Wow, even though I was gone most of the day (as I am every Thursday), I still made two little trades. I have been very active in May, and am quite pleased about it. No point-and-figure trades today… these were scalps on level breaks. I nearly made 3, but was scared away [...]
I’ve been watching volume-based charts for the last two days, and I’m pretty happy with them. I think they clarify the overall stock movement when there are long, low-volume choppy periods. Primarily because these long choppy periods more-or-less disappear.
However, to keep an open mind, I’m still looking at all kinds of charts after-hours. [...]
