    There is the 200 EMA Bounce. No overshoot. I am not seeing the smack down and test yet. Waiting for the 200 SMA. Not seeing the big blocks either. Still Flat. Probably just going to sit it out. I got one swing trade hold, in the green, lol, ALAB.

    Seems like the 200 SMA is in play at 5125. With an overshoot to 5000. If we see that it should bounce. Watch for the 1000 block trades, long, then a pounding, then more up to break it. After that, I am sidelined. Seeing only AMZN on short restriction. MSFT, FB, GOOG, A and NVDA all free to...

    This is the fastest way to become a profitable trader

    This, and after the 30 minute YouTube university, people become adamant about their great skills. It is almost as if they are infected with the BS the youtuber was hocking. As if their bluster can hide their novice skill level by presenting an "expert" persona. It seems to be a lesson that is...

    This is the fastest way to become a profitable trader

    If I were to sell what I know after 30 years, it would be 10k per person and take 6 months to cover. And even then you would still have to roll your own solution to make a system to trade. The 10K would probably just save you about 5 years of research, testing, implementation and maintenance...

    Swing Trading the ARK Universe

    I don't consider CRISPR put biotech. More infrastructure, which I do invest in. That being said, Buying more HOOD today. Also bought some RDDT: 500 at 18.36 Probably 1 or 3, but need to wait a bit more. FWIW: RPTX and SBUX get upgrades.

    Financial advisor fuckery...

    Could be. But the double and triple accounts a lot of them have can also be the case. The standard BS you get is, "it won't matter because we do such a good job".

    Financial advisor fuckery...

    They dark pooled you. I have had this happen to me also. Get the worse, and I mean the highest price of the day on entry and the lowest price of the day on exit. Sprint away, don't walk away from them. You are probably under 20mil AUM so they going to continue this. I think you got to be...

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    I see it too.... The thing is one day after earnings is when the larger players make their move. The knee jerk up is all but neutered now. Will see if the double bottom holds. 3rd test is usually telling. Up down or sideways....

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    So lots of comments and predictions but no comments on the trade and the chart. Must be Elite Soapbox. :rolleyes:

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    I agree with all of the above, but just trading here. I have never been to one in the US except to see my nephew who worked at the roaster (did not spend any $), and once in Japan where it is very different, and I ordered pasta lunch. It was very good and under $7 for lunch salad soup and...

    What are you views on these startegies?

    Actually I use them, but as a lagging indicator for when I want to confirm something HAS occurred and want to take action AFTER it happens. E.g. when it is clear I want to exit, and just like setting a timer that delays the exit just a bit. But to be clear, I do not use cross overs. That...

    SBUX: Quarterly results no so pretty etc.

    So after reporting there is a parade of stories describing their woes. Lots of fodder. After earnings up about 4%. Those are the top line facts. How it is being traded: Took two positions, one in April and one in early July. Premise was long term hold and the 3.x% dividend. Entry in...

    Daily Profit Goal

    DaveV is correct. The problem with a set PL is that when your system is working you will hit it and most likely exceed the goal. On the other hand, the days where your system is not working, you will have a negative day and continue to go negative, unless the market changes*. But all this...

    More Price TA... and if you give me any shit on this, I'm going to say "go fuck yourself"!

    Wow! OK go forth and enjoy. This will not be a productive for me. Ignore on.

    More Price TA... and if you give me any shit on this, I'm going to say "go fuck yourself"!

    Here are some more lines. The difference is these are drawable without a time machine. Notice how just as many S/R are broken as held. Not saying S/R is not there. One needs way more to get an actionable trade setup, as it happens. That is why you ALSO need excellent trade management...

    what do you look at when day trading and prep for day trading?

    yes of course. It is a place for major tests and reversals. It is not often (once or twice a year) but it tends to override all the other stuff because there are usually algos attached to the PA when it tests one.

    New traders may want to think about this......

    Yes, if the system treats all the times in the market as the same, of course, the PL will flail. The open is different. The lead of to the 10AM reports is different. The time right before lunch is different. The time when lunch starts is different. The middle of lunch is different. The PM open...
