Hood Sold 10.28 on a "measured" move. Will go again if the pull back is there. Semper, Fundamental long term, TA, medium term, PA short term is the "method" if you can call it that. :confused::D

This is a "sell side"* analyst. Same reason a car salesman always recommends some car to buy. *look it up.

This Journal will document swing trades using the stocks in the ARK portfolios. General Info: Total Deployable Assets are divided into 8 allocations. E.g. 10K is 1,250 per allocation. Trade entries are somewhere between 2x allocations and 1/3 allocation. Scaling-in will be used. All Long...

Justified is when the risk reward is correct. The overall portfolio calls for it. Macro events. For instance, Powell does a surprise rate drop. The OP is just a beginner. So have rules, but after a couple of decades, it is pretty obvious when to make exceptions. It is just a dial to turn...

Each trade style has a max size for all trades. (day, swing etc). Each trade has a max size. Keep to your maximum and make the maximum small enough so you don't sweat it if you take a stop loss. The main deal is try to keep in the game. Don't blow up. On the other hand, do not be so risk...

Because it is unregulated and very high leverage. Gee, what type of brokers would encourage that? What type of people would fall for it? It is for dreamers and the ill prepared looking for easy money, lots and lots of easy money. Probably better off buying Mega Million tickets at 350mil to 1.

What skills do you have? People who trade well have A LOT of skills. they can: Read charts patterns from memory. Predict with reasonable probability what will happen in the short term. Know when a premise or pattern is weakening or is about to be broken, let alone when it is broken. Manage...

First where the market says "you are wrong", you go on high alert, then when it confirms it, you take it. Or when the PL/Time potential is low, you bail out when the "alert goes on". Both work well. Second, where your P/L stands. But since the market is oblivious to the (small potatoes)...

People will take it right here. Thinking, trend consolidation just like before. And then don't have a planned way out, besides waiting through a major pull back and very high risk for reward. And then, when the trade is BE, they hesitate to get out at BE plus a little. Then wait through...

No. It is more the case everyone who has system(s*), is too busy trading to with this forum except for a break or entertainment. * Note the plural. Once you get enough infrastructure, the trading work is more akin to farming. It has the potential to never stop.

It is like all risk management. Some is OK, but not enough to create a problem, but not none. I use IB's and make about 3% a year on very liquid, small and mid caps. You can chose which ones also.

This is where those who actually understand how math system are created, not just how it works, know when they are beating a "dead horse". This is more advanced just trying to use math system in a simpleton search for some grail. New folks would be wise to take N.B. Either your math is...

Snipers have spotters. They split the duties. A sniper alone is overloaded. Consider splitting the journal activities into two categories. E.g. a spotter will tell the sniper when NOT to shoot.

Boomers have more to spend. And they are going to die. And they feel they have "earned" the right. Pretty much simple as that. Evidenced by the number of wealthy people getting Social Security checks, despite the system near collapse for Millennials. They are going to spend hard for the...

And don't forget to complain about it as loudly and aggressively as possible, and blame everyone, especially a political party or leader (local or national) because we all know how well this works out for you and those around you.

This is a pretty rude response. Negative, dismissive and based on not knowing the details and guessing. I am keeping this in mind. ;) As for tape reading, I think of it as a wide topic, not just what is described by Wykoff, aka roll-o-tape". It is the concepts not the implementation that...

I agree with this assessment. When one actually starts to catalog, track and use all those "intuition" things, it actually very concrete and codable. Also I think people cannot organize and manage on a conceptual basis how they interrelate, let alone how to code them. Add to that and it is...

Well Done! Using old school things that still apply, with new methods (automation) to massage, filter, amalgamate to create an actionable summary!

Often the notion of intuition is a disguise for guessing and then confirmation bias. If you want to believe in intuition, then you need to measure. Measuring outcomes for starts, but also the process of developing the "intuition" and then meeting the threshold for acting upon it. Not a simple...

First, it depends upon your trading timeframe. It needs to be precise enough to give information but not to coarse to gloss over things. Also it depends upon what you use it for, e.g. Signals or actual order generation. BTW: They are not the same thing, or at least should not be unless that...
