Hey it's 11 and stopped, thx all. Down a bit playing GDX/DUST TZA UVXY. Put in OTO orders for automated trades.

Smart, I'll try that... thx!

Well said, thoughtful insights.

Thanks! Great anecdote, I'll remember it. Completely agree, similarly my best trades always done by 10:15. So I have a discipline issue. Plus what in the world is more fun than trading.. I love it

You all make great points, thanks. I suppose at least I can make lots of trades without losing much is ok, but the goal is to not only get profitable but to stay that way. I'll test using win limits like I used to, grinding cash poker, if I'm up by $x I rack up and walk out.

I'm really pissed off at myself. I should write a book called The Undisciplined Trader. For the umpteenth time I gave back morning profits by over trading in the afternoon. I was up nicely by 11 a.m., then I gave it all back and ended up in the red by a few hundred dollars at the end of the day...

Quad witching fri = vol spike coming Good luck with it and thx again dest re bear nudge Saturday before last, you nailed it and I'm finally making progress daytrading UVXY like I used to with TVIX. But more size up to 1k+ shares on VIX spikes. :D

You make an excellent point I completely agree, so I'm day trading more than swing trading because of the inevitable head fakes and reversals

Married with Children was great

Altered carbon and space runners

So I had another green day today doing 58 round trips mostly in TZA and UVXY. Here's what I found doing hundreds of trades this past couple weeks, I hope it helps. The most successful technique is to use a mixture of both trailing and hard stops. To give you as many chances to get things right...

Overall it's a great thread with lots of entertaining and useful information. Many thanks to all for posting your thoughts, it paints a picture that despite all the different opinions makes things much more clearer and before I started the thread. One takeaway is that options build say a lot...

Breakouts over resistance or pivots off support are good, but avoid trading inside range chop

Doing great UVXY TZA

I like the Saint, s5e1 is good

I've hired Bob Green and he's the industry's finest trader tax CPA. His team is excellent, I enthusiastically recommend him.
