24. HCI, HCI Group Inc. Challenger stock in up trend. Long @ 93.56, Stop Loss 10%

I'm long DDOG since approx a month. See post, https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/breakout-trading-on-emerging-and-strong-stocks.379802/page-3#post-5985689

23. BBW, Build-A-Bear Workshop Inc. A CAN SLIM Challenger in an up trend since a while and doing deep consolidations below the 200 MA, and it could just be repeating that again. It broke its recent down trend with volume just above average. Long @ 26.14, Stop Loss 10%

22. CAL, Caleres Inc. Not really a CAN SLIM for last earnings report but it's in an up trend so far. Long @ 34.37, Stop Loss 10%

21. GBX, Greenbrier Companies Inc. Last one for today and an interesting one. It didn't beat the expectations on recent Earnings and was punished for that, while remaining fully CAN SLIM compliant ! Is it repeating what it did last October ? Long at 46.72, Stop Loss 10%

20. PUBM, PubMatic Inc. A CAN SLIM Challenger that seems to be building a trend. Giving it a chance and being long at 21.18, Stop Loss 10%

19. ML, MoneyLion Inc. Continuing my paper trading with this new one. It broke a small base in consolidation quite above all the EMAS and with volume above average. Long at 78.90, Stop Loss 10%

GCT was on September but I'm out of it now anyway. For the others, it will depend on the profit buffer (if any) they show the day before.. If they are capable of progressing to 15%+, I won't touch them, below that I will certainly close or reduce DDOG and SHAK, the waker ones, I see ACMR the...

Portfolio Update. I Closed GCT at 29.62 today for a small profit (bought at 29.08). Despite the small profit, I'm counting this as a BE trade as it rose 18% from my buy point to just get back to my entry point. My entry was anyway bad as it was solely based on valuation instead of some...

At the end I find similarities in how we think but I lack the experience that you have. I want to get that thing, you know, when you know almost from the start that something is working or not. No, by mistakes I was talking about execution or taking a false signal, stuff like that... I agree...

Of course I asked myself that question and I have clear rules to know when things are not going as expected and that I should close whatever the P/L. FOMO or just contradicting your first statement ? "An excellent example of why you should hold." I give a stock a limited time 2-4 months to do...

Not in this case, for me FOMO makes you enter prematurely, here I'm already in, so it's just letting the trade live its own life until either it succeeds or I judge it's time to close. Yes, either the stop or maybe me judging it's not doing as expected. Yes but my appreciation comes also into...

1. It's an arbitrary choice, good or bad, I will see. I'm not fan of trailing stop, I prefer to give the stock room to breath. 2. When I start below the 200 ma, I expect the stock to move above it on the next swing, if not, it will be a sign of it starting a new down trend instead of a...

Yes, I have 3 strategies for exit that become active once the trade is in profit by at least 20% 1st one is automatic once I reach 20% profit, I set a stop loss at BE, so whatever happens, a 20% profit doesn't transform in a loss. 2nd is a SMA 10 crossing EMA200 any time during the trade...

Thanks for the advice that I will follow! I'm already subscriber to IBD and was busy digesting and understanding all the information they give while at the same time building my own process. Now that the dust settles, I think I will soon get that trial.

What about you, looking at your last post, looks like you found your way !?

Only negative but I have been trading Forex till last year when I decided to switch to Stocks. Reading Minervini, Darvas, O'Neil is what decided me to switch and allocate real money this time. I'm 55 years old and I would really build a good base on which I can of course earn something but also...

I just started it at the same time I started the journals, it's brand new and fresh. And my goals are something between 2 to 5 as reward with a win rate of 50%.

I really thought it was more than that but good to know!

I mean I watch for stocks with same composite score criteria and having the EMAs aligned, you will find some charts in my journals if you want to see what I talk about. 4-5% ! Well, that means that with such reward he must have a high win rate :cool:
