Back from Vacation. IRDM still down. Tried for another leg down but is small so far. RPTX down. Take the next pop close to BE Ark Universe. Continues to sell COIN. Have to Sell Hood with an * aka forced sale due to allocation limit. I added and then doubled my $ position in the "IPO Hold"...

Essentially you are trying to integrate the concept of momentum. Hence basic physics applies, Movement along a direction, rate of movement, and rate of acceleration, all over time. Work on developing those concepts, then add in additional analysis based on time of day, volume, and short term...

Bought 100 IRDM @ 32.78. BTW: Had a GTC order to sell all @ 36.42, but high was 36.3x People are selling, so will hold this one, earnings were OK, but not good enough. Now fully allocated 700 shares at 35.69. Sold PINS @36.27 for BE++. Taking a position (1000 shares) in another portfolio...

Meanwhile, other folks (90%) make a single forecast, then update sporadically, not at all, or when emotions warrants it.

It has to have a reason why. Not simply you hit a stop. The market does not care where your entry, stop, reverse reentry are. You are too small. This is pretty simple concept but people ignore it. If you build the strategy to accommodate it, or around it, sure, but I would recommend you...

Thanks @maxinger. Semi Auto blocking =ON. State = Ignore.

HOOD Earnings: Beats estimates and now profitable. Seems firing on all cylinders, interest, AUM, Crypto. Moving this swing trade holding out of the portfolio into another portfolio called: IPO Hold, where I collect IPOs in the first 12-24 months after debut. Also holding is 1200 shares of...

This is a known issue. To fix it, you have to rebuild your .xml file. This is the file that creates the layout. I know this is a serious pain. But check your XML file size. It has no garbage collection. So it keeps on growing and growing each time you change something, and eventually this...

Weekend review: HOOD Breaks out of range. Still holding*. Like the volume and intraday action. Bounced back from the barrier and then ran through it EOD IRDM backstop held. Bought 100 shares at 33.73? on Thursday, once it held and was moving up. Now 600 shares @36.15. Bounced off...

Yes BE=Break Even or small profit Sure, Thinking? If we get a pop then take the risk off the table. Start over. Don't wait for profits. Just be done. Move on to something else, like QCOM. Drops Lower? Probably going to. 1) It is now on an overshoot of the range. Could pop from here...

It is one of those indicators contrarians like. Overbought-Oversold, so therefore looking for a snap back. But the problem is straight forward. Things are overbought-sold BECAUSE they are being sold or bought. So just "following it" will give you a bunch of longs that are short lived...

Weekend Notes: IRDM all shares, GTC for BE placed. Earnings on 2/15 HOOD No orders; will watch action. Best case BO to 11.70. Will take top of range overshoot, or wait for continuation next day, if vol seems on track for > 8 mil/day. Still trying to get a feel for HOOD. ZOOM broke down back...

I like the story about the intern who is charged with taking a huge position, and then in minutes it is up millions. He is freaking out because of the size. He is told to take "some" off. He wants exact amounts, but is instructed to take "some". He has a hard time wrapping his head about...

Sold RPTX 2000 @ 7.13 Top of Range

Bought 1500 HOOD @10.72

Yes, The one gem is "sell some".... great line but you must have the back story. I still use it today 30 years later.

Simple in retrospect and basic scientific method. 1) Find an instance that you deem "explosive" 2) Note all factors in the patterns or triangles, or whatever. 3) Find another instance and compare the notable factors-patterns. 4) Eliminate, refine, weight your factors. 5) Repeat until you have a...
