    The RAMOUTAR REPORT VOL3: Elements for Successful Trading

    bltrading: This post addresses the questions in your previous post here. I attached a PDF on SOHU. No disrespect taken. I appreciate someone who debates a point with class. You’re getting this reply now, since this is my downtime. When I refer to “caps”, I’m talking specifically...

    Do You Have A Trading Plan, and Do You Know It Inside and Out?

    I've received many PMs from my fellow ETrs, and I have learned that many of you don't have a "plan" or don't know your plan inside and out. One of the first steps in becoming a successful trader, is being honest with yourself. As my schedule loosens up here, I will make a "Personal Trading...

    The RAMOUTAR REPORT VOL3: Elements for Successful Trading

    Correct, Chinook. One of the primary indicators is volume. If the stock is showing higher than average volume, and momentum analysis shows that it's "institutionally sponsored" volume (and other indicators confirm) then I will adjust target and scale out. I like the NQ and ES, however, I...

    The RAMOUTAR REPORT VOL3: Elements for Successful Trading

    Immediately after I enter, the stop is placed. The target is rigid, and is rarely tweaked. See my reply to “bltrading” in this thread. My benchmark risk/reward ratio is 1:3. If the benchmark is too high for the market I drop down to a minimum of 1:1.8 and lower my exposure accordingly. I...

    The RAMOUTAR REPORT VOL3: Elements for Successful Trading

    See your quote below with my commentsBltrading says: 1) A Realistic Trading Plan - How does one go about developing this plan? What I'm saying is - when you started trading at what point after all your studies did you decide, this is my plan I'm going with and I'm going to stick with it...

    I'm glad that you're enjoying the reports. My hope is that it will help others to improve their trading results. The continued appreciation by fellow members contributes to the existence of the reports. By the way, the quote above is from Albert Einstein. Enjoy.

    Sometimes I think that trading is a very bad job

    Mali, I have true empathy for you. As some have said on this board, your position on this will create your doom. I have been interrogated by many with this same argument. If you want to find any success in any business you will need to focus on becoming the minority that profits from the...

    The RAMOUTAR REPORT VOL3: Elements for Successful Trading

    I currently have 28 stocks in my "stable". After my scans, I have long and short daytrading candidates for the next day, and swing candidates for the week . The list of daytrading stocks contracts by 9:50a - 10:10 aET, and 11:30a-1:30pET. Keep in mind that the times vary, as the market dictates...

    how to set target?

    Your question is subjective, and so will the answers you receive. I will take the liberty of using goals and rewards synonymously. With that liberty, I advise that you look at the limit in the reward of every trade as a point at which the reward or risk of the masses will create the limit...

    Lots of monitors just to show off?

    I use ONE monitor. It may just be habit, and like many ETrs here, I started trading actively well before the days of multi-monitor setups. I personally find those setups very distracting. Why? One simple reason..."The more you look at, the less you see." I use every window on my screen to enter...
