I'm more a swing trader. Would like to consider myself a position trader. Any stock that trends up I'll pyramid into. That said everything I own is starting to roll over. Stops are in place. :)

So you now have thousands of shares that you paid $2.00 for that are trading at $1.75 and your money has been tied up for 15 years. What is your point?

Perfect if you're shorting the market. I play individual stocks so I'll just sit in cash until something comes along. So far my stocks are holding up not bad.(Canadian Market: Financials & Energy) only 16% in cash.

I think that's the attitude the hedge funds that played GME had. There is no limit to how much you can lose with a short. At least with a long you only lose what you invest.

Yep there's always someone. It wasn't me. :)

Lynch promoted buy what you know. If you use a product and like it buy the company. If you notice that a certain store is always busy or a certain hotel chain is expanding buy the company. Like most investment books you have to dig deep to find out when to sell.

Go to YouTube and watch one of the several book reviews.

So what motivates a trader to do that? And at what point does it become a bad investment? Is it a dollar figure or a certain length of time that has to go by? As a trader you make your money by buying and selling. As an investor hopefully your asset gives you a little cash flow. When you turn...

Eventually you'll be right. All you have to do is keep your capital. Don't let your losers get away from you.

They have a 30 day trial for 99 cents. Take it and report back.

I used the scan in stock charts for US stocks that trade over 500k per day with a price higher than 5bucks. No ETFs.

Where did you get that number? A quick scan shows less than 2000 stocks that trade over 500k shares with a price over 5 bucks.

I used Vectorvest a few years back. An excellent data base with some interesting backtesting capabilities. I'm a stock charts subscriber and find it meets all my needs. Vectorvest uses a moving average to give buy and sell signals. Its EPS data is forecast rather than actual so it tends to...

If you mix them make sure you are not tempted to turn a losing scalp into a swing trade. Just like traders who turn a losing trade into a long term investment.

A fixed position size to me means that you always enter a trade with the same number of dollars or contracts. This means that your risk is defined by the price of where you execute your stop. Adding to a trade whether averaging up or down adjusts your risk as the trade progresses.
