    how about this nice discreet selloff into the close?

    lol, seriously, come on guys. We're in a bull market! Bull markets like this one will end with an emotional spike, go through the last 70 years of US market history and you will see that markets like these do not simply roll over and turn on a dime. Techs have rotated out of the lead, we are...

    Is Tapereading dead?

    Confidence based on a couple O' points....

    No, I use freetrade and It's impossible to argue anything with them (I think it might even be in the terms of use, since they are not direct access I can't really complain that I got a partial) only a few thousand got off at my price and it is very possible that it moved away before the rest of...

    Question about risk

    Only if there are buyers, I believe the issue here is that a great catastrophe might cause an enormous limit down move, you will be liquidated wherever possible (wherever someone will buy the position off you). No guarantees...

    I'm back and I know what 'Island' means

    Danielc1 is right, but you must also understand that you must consider time frame. You say you want to be a swing trader, if so then you should be considering the trend over the past few months (which has been bullish). It's all about time frame.

    Filled SVVS on friday at 2.4, still liked my position at the end of the day so kept it overnight. Monday I didn't like the action to decided to exit at the closing price (2.16) on tuesday. Didn't get it and ended up having to sell at 2.05, taking a sizeable loss. It's all part of the game, what...
