    Why the F did I close out the trade?!

    Mark Douglas' 4 primary trading fears: 1. Fear of being wrong 2. Fear of losing money 3. Fear of missing out 4. Fear of leaving money on the table You probably succumbed to #4 like I did in NVAX yesterday. I was rewarded by taking a profit too quickly, since the stock tanked again after I got...

    Trade Ideas Down?

    This is the first time this year that I've had this issue. I had no alerts come across for 20 minutes, then I had dozens come across in 3 seconds, and they were all from earlier prices. Now I've had no alerts for another 20 minutes. I have one alert window open which always gives at least one...

    Tradezero - Execution problem

    I understand. I'm not sure how he did it, but we traded his capital, and we had separate accounts that he could keep track of. His plan didn't last long. Maybe TradeZero caught onto what he was doing and shut him down. He was pretty shady.

    Your trade for living "elevator pitch"?

    Sometimes I'll be a smart ass and say I drive an ice cream truck. (Got that from American Sniper). I used to say I'm a professional stock trader, (I'm registered with FINRA, so I guess I'm technically a pro) but that sounded a bit pompous. So now I'll just say I trade stocks in my sweat pants.

    Tradezero - Execution problem

    All I can say is TradeZero = Ugh! Traded with them through a pseudo wanna be prop firm for a while because they didn't require a deposit. Nothing but continuous problems for months. That's what you get with a firm which is able to circumvent the PDT rule. Thank God I found the ambition to...

    COIN IPO

    It wasn't an IPO. It was a direct listing, meaning they weren't raising new capital through the listing. The fact that it was a direct listing is why I was able to locate shares to short on the first day for only 6 cents per share...

    Tradeideas scanner

    Not really. You can right click on a stock in a scanner window and bring up news, but there aren't any news filters. But in my experience, if a stock is strong relative to the market, it's most likely going to have news on it anyway.

    2021: Pictures Of Your Trading Stations

    Yeah, I figured it was time for a real pic. And I've seen all of those smart ass posts/pictures on this site a dozen times over the years. Not very original.

    Here's the other layout. /ES, /YM and /NQ on the left. Order entry in the middle. Main Sterling windows, Trade Ideas scanner, and stocks trading on unusual volume on the right. Tablet is used to help keep track of key levels throughout the day.

    2021: Pictures Of Your Trading Stations

    I have another layout which has 5 order entry level 2 windows and corresponding charts that I use in the middle monitor at the open, but this is the one I use most of the day.

    Tradeideas scanner

    Absolutely. You can sort by position in range. You can use anywhere from position in 5 minute range, today's range, yesterdays range, yearly range, lifetime range, and many more. I've been using TI for many years.

    Another relaxation thread. Live Gettysburg Bird Feeder.

    I've only been watching about 15 minutes, and I've already seen a lot of deer in the background. I'm a country boy, so I think this is nice to watch.

    Ummm, maybe if it was 1957

    (I didn't read the entire thread, but the premise got my attention). I invited a friend of mine over to the farm earlier today to check out how much firewood we could give him. We have a lot of dead trees around. He likes bonfires. To the point, I've known this guy forever, and he probably...
