    What fancy name does this candle have?

    Thank you! Looks like it is also called "Shaven Head"

    What fancy name does this candle have?

    I will only buy the double stick Popsicles. Just one is a ripoff.

    Looks like I missed a week of updates. Busy with the day job and trying to juggle trading has been, to be blunt - exhausting. Still making progress on a regular basis. Starting doing swings in a tax-free savings account (Canada). I like the idea a lot. Watch the market go into freefall mode...

    What fancy name does this candle have?

    Hey ET Friends, I can't seem to find the name for this type of candle. Surely it has a name. For now I will name it the corndog stick pattern until told otherwise. Thanks!

    Last week of the month. It was a roller coaster. In the end it worked out but not the type of week I would prefer. Plenty of observations, notes and learning this week. I'll take that over gains. It was a solid month despite 9 negative days. That to me is too many red days. It should be closer...

    Sure, I'll grab a pic and post. All 3 monitors are the same. Samsung 32" curved. I love them. I don't have any one fully dedicated to charts, they are kind of scattered. Something I can work on. That is where extra monitors stacked could come in handy. Dedicated to charts of stocks that are...

    Back on the weekend. Not the kind of week I wanted to have. Definitely was a character building one. Got a 3rd monitor (32" Samsung curved) and I think I'll keep it to that many for now. I have a forth just there doing nothing because it's too much head rotation to look that far over. I would...

    As promised. Today is July 21st. Since April, my strategy has changed tremendously. I do overnights and some options activity. This market is weird though...in a good way. As for ET, maybe I can do weekend updates. A recap of the week.

    Time for an ET hiatus. (cue the 'he's never coming back' chant) ET is a great benefit as a resource. Any downsides, I'm sure you can come up with on your own. Anticipated random return date: July 21st. (Year withheld) Love and peace, Very random dude on the internet.

    <--- just a stock photo. I do not have two laptops, nor would I want to trade that way.

    31st Full day of trading. Wasn't 100% proficient on the four points above but a heavy reduction at least. Keeping TSLA on watch tomorrow. This week and next, earnings reports. Let's see some volatility in some stocks. Meanwhile, redesigning my trading strategy.

    30th Full day of trading. Never traded more than 100 shares today. 1530 shares total volume. There is potential with trading smaller size on bigger movers. Today was just about making my own trades. For the most part was able to avoid: The news Facebook A new distracting scanner ET (sorry)...

    The journal of steady, dull and uninteresting trading

    Stopped trading early today. Every single trade taken did not work. Will trade tomorrow just 100 shares at a time and reassess. May even take the day off and come back next week fresh. The clarity is not there right now. Still up for the month but that is very much in danger at this rate...

    29th Full day of trading. Rough start but battled back. It's been a tough week so far. I need to trade smaller size. Trading bigger size works well when the trade works but it doesn't fit into what I really need to be doing. The results are proving that larger share size is not producing...

    28th Full day of trading. Worst day of trading yet. Last trade of the day was mitigating the losses but reversed hard and got stopped. I will be switching up my strategy for longer holds. Need to be fully engaged in the process. I am thinking that the new scanner is providing a distraction...

    That's the great thing about the markets, which you are proving, that you don't have to phase out at a certain age. Nor why would you if you enjoy the process? I trade equities. NYSE and NASDAQ. My trades are probably closer to 30 trades a day (with lots of partials and scaling in and out not...

    Didn't trade today for a full day. Won't bother counting it. Concentration levels like crude oil - negative. Tomorrow will be an excellent day filled with pristine transactions.

    27th Full day of trading. Lack of idea flow today. Recognizing this, I had to take a step back. I did trade some AAPL, which has reminded me that I ought to be trading it more. SHOP is a mover and unfortunately that spread is a bit too much for me at times. Ditto for TSLA. I do think there...
