    What's Your Average Stop Loss range?

    Agree, t/s pain ... best exits I've made, biggest wins are when I manually tighten t/s vs automatic which shake out a lot. Next test is using sell limit orders to exit with .3 type scalps Right re potential beary week, will test UVXY TZA if they run

    What's Your Average Stop Loss range?

    I could hardly sleep last night.... having an epiphany re solving this... it's much more a math puzzle than a visual chart pattern one. Charts are useful for trend strength and range. The math, eg scaling in or out at 2d highs/lows is smart for swings. But I'm testing intraday scalps using...

    What's Your Average Stop Loss range?

    I'm curious, for those of you who are day traders, what would you say your average stop loss cost is, in dollars? Or your goal... Personally, when I'm day trading small for example 100-300 shares most stops are <$40, though I often do many trades. Same question for swing traders

    Scalping is Risky?

    I'm testing intraday scalping using OTO conditional trades with trailing stops .1 .2 .3. Lessons learned recently: tight .1 or .2 works better than loose .4; best to stop trading by 10:30am

    Billions First episode new half season 5

    First 2 seasons were good, more trading less soap opera. Hopefully this season gets back to trading. Drama bits about family and betrayal and relationships ugh. Axe vs chuck ugh. Women discussing feelings ugh Short squeezes and epic trades, good.

    Using both Hard & Trailing OTO Stops: ideas?

    Another red day, -328 with 104 trades Lessons learned: + Stop overtrading. + Only trade outside charts, eg above prior days high. I took too many shots at decent but not great setups. + Great tight stops well taken, but death of thousand cuts since choppy day. Looser stops would not have...
