Down 7.92% today. Did you sell?

I disagree that shorter trades are more predictable. At least for me. Also, one of the many reasons I swing trade is my career. I don't have time to watch the markets every minute of the day. I check in on the markets usually 2x a day and often times I can only check in after market closes. So...

I think this is different for everyone. It depends on how you trade. I try to take profit at profit targets or near them. If price sky rockets several days in a row I take profit. If weakness is building in the charts I take profits. At the upper edge of a trend line I take profits. If a longer...

I am aware that many of the gaps would go away if you include pre and post market trades/futures but a day trader trades during normal market hours and those gaps would still be there its just that they are trading where the gaps do not exist. My point was that I welcome much of those gaps...

Funny that you bring this up. As a swing trader I was wondering how the hell could day traders make money when a stock jumps up 2% or more from overnight news or earnings or whatever? The move is done largely by the time market opens. As a swing trader I can tolerate the swings in price...

IPI is a purely TA trade. NO fundamentals evaluated. Given its volatility the trade size is also small. We will see what happens. But I like this chart and sector.

One More. This one is also an Agriculture/Potash pic. I almost NEVER trade penny stocks but this one looks low risk and VERY high reward. Bouncing off longterm support with rising MACD, and MACD Hiistogram. Upside price target ~$3.50

MOS Looking strong on weekly charts

12-49-32-67-18-7 Lotto Picks Seriously, you need to start with a lot to make a lot. It's much harder starting with $100k even at 20% or more return a year which would beat most fund managers and hedge funds to make billions. If you manage other people's money that's another way because you can...

Being in the USA I am not usually a fan of buying stocks in other countries. However, I agree that this chart looks good and it has an upside target of around $18. But I am already in this space with another trade. I bought CARA at $10.31a few weeks ago & it's over $16.60 already. So I believe...

http://joshblackman.com/blog/2017/02/05/the-statutory-legality-of-trumps-executive-order-on-immigration/ I found this very interesting and convincing to me (a non legal expert) that the President CLEARLY has the right to make the Exec Order legal. In fact, anyone who has read the Exec Order...

I can only speak for myself but it seems that many here are confusing consolidation with whip saws. I do not think they are one in the same. Whip saws in my book are violent volatile moves that move up and down rapidly and often times trigger stops to take out long positions before frequently...

Sorry to be so negative but I smell a HEAP of BullShit. This is the absolute greenest question (novice question) I have seen in a long time. Not the kind of question I would expect from someone with 60+ posts. So I decided to do a little digging. Turns out that your absolute 1st post here on ET...

You are confusing terminology. Position sizing refers to how many shares of a stock or instrument do you buy to keep risk at an acceptable level. It is usually based off where you put your stop loss. If you are trading that is different than investing. In trading you USUALLY stops even if its a...

The charts disagree with you.

This is what General Flynn's comments reminded me of.

I think that the fact the market has held at this level despite all the "Trump Chaos" and that most stocks I am looking at are near a breakout or have bullish formations or are at the recent breakout prices suggests that as the prices are retracing there are buyers steping in propping up this...

When the market is going against you on a trade it is ALWAYS wise to reevaluate the trade. BUT the key is to reevaluate it with "virgin eyes". What I mean by that is to look at it usinge EVERY single criteria you use to make sure the trade is likely to go in your direction. If all of those...

I appreciate where you are coming from but I doubt in your 7 years you have put in 10,000 hours or so of staring at charts and their nuances. Your question is very basic and I don't mean this in a condescending way but a very naive question at that. Despite my differences with what ZZzz1...
