    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    LONG CRUS 13.2 STOP 13.1 TGT 13.4 - CRUS opens very strong, looking at the daily it looks like it could continue to retrace up - Cramer pumped the hell out of this stock last night (don't ask why it was on in my house, i'm not a usual viewer) - SPY had been slowly retracing since the...

    meaning if you lose a trade and win a trade you are up money overall correct? Aiming for 1:2 risk reward ratio on each trade?

    Couldn't have said it better myself.. Only thing you forgot was our Hills episodes and facebooking! * Puddles found 2 perfect trades today but we both had chart program problems. He called out COST long on a rel. strength higher low and ESRX on the same thing...both were textbook.

    Puddles gets to watch me trade everyday, so I think it is fitting for him to start this thread up on a daily basis and post trades that he takes in realtime, to watch his progression as a trader.....he is following the same trading plan I have, a 2:1 reward/risk ratio and tracking the same chart...

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    What hotpuddles isnt telling you is that I bought APC right after the run up on the first major higher low (the first green bar after the white line he drew). I bought at 65.17 and eventually moved my stop to 64.97 (which hit). The reason we were watching this stock long is the daily chart was...

    Thank you puddles....I am sure it would be helpful to you and others if you could put a chart of the day (or a chart of all trades you do) at the end of the day and we can discuss each trade, if you like. PS. Dig the handle PUDDLES!!!!

    A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

    Everything I do stems from the daily chart of each stock and the S & P. If a stock has a nice uptrend on the daily chart and intraday is strong (like AAPL) I will look for a buy set up on that stock on the 5 min chart. Same for weak stocks ....if a stock is in a nice downtrend on the daily chart...

    Two things that show you are doing something right, and probably something 90% of all traders DON'T do: 1. Only doing 2 trades. One of the hardest things for all traders is to not over trade. Taking only 2 trades shows that you have self control. 2. Risking only $20 per trade. This...

    Confession: I let my old football coach fire me up every morning in pre market and remind me that EVERY movement made on the field has a reaction to the outcome. (and I get to see young Geez laying wood again) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6TJ5TP--mI
