Thanks Satchel for your understanding. Let's let it play out a bit longer. That is exactly what I meant.
Riffraffpatrol, You finally mentioned an example of a black swan example or one that you can think of. I looked up the chart for SP500...
Thanks Handle, It was too choppy. I kept thinking that after it finished its move down, that it was going to go back up. It was making higher...
Why are you the most negative guy around? You're pointing out another FALSEHOOD. My biggest pet peeve is someone accusing me of doing something...
I made this as an exception for scalping. I don't post positive results often as being important. This shows where scalps can help. Scalping...
Here is the -100 loss trade of the day. I didn't use the signal bar as a support stop. It came real close. At -100, I took the loss as I didn't...
I have to disagree with you here about this. Information always shows up on charts first. News means nothing. News shows up on charts first as...
+4 One bad trade. I was up early so I was being more aggressive. I gotta run now. No trading for the rest of the day as I have to attend a...
Zr1Trader, I appreciate your advice here. My stops are .5 to 1% of my equity as I've mentioned. I don't hold overnight. I've done it before...
I recall halts being done but not until it was well into a trend like some down move. The news hits the charts first. Nothing is impossible. So...
I can see if a small cap stock will go down 25% in a minute but it won't do that with the SPY or GS. Most of those are all computer driven. I've...
Just curious in terms of a black swan event, what's the most slippage you've seen for a stop market order for a stock like GS or the SPY? The...
+40 Not much to report on. Opting to get out with a gain today. A lot of overlap which I'm trying avoid. Bought 116.10 Sold Short 115.57...
Riffraffpatrol, It's been said before. Generally I do 200 shares. Sometimes more, sometimes less but generally 200 shares. Like I said, I...
Thanks for your hard work.. you're right.. the losses need to be controlled. A -35 loss is ideal. Not a -75 or -90 loss. You guys all make...
???? I don't get it?? Isn't that what I am doing already?.. 0.5-1% of 25 K is 100-250. 100 is the max I would be willing to lose per trade as I...
Well said.. one large gainer will make up for all my gains all week. This last week was a rough one but I did end up in the green but only...
No need to get upset over this?? I understand what you're saying about the risk/reward ratio. Some trades don't have that. Some days do not...
I really considered going short on the setup to the EMA like you said later on but I just couldn't change gears fast enough. I thought for the...
You have some good points. The problem for me is that I can't seem to wait for it. Often I can't tell if it's going to be a all day trend or a...
