got it, thanks. For now I’m sticking with hard stops when I start to trade real money I ll probably change that. Or maybe put in stop limit orders

This is why I don’t love putting I. Hard stops. But for now, I need it for discipline. what do you mean trade the opening range? Do you not put hard stops in?

Stopped out of NVDA at 250.11

the fed doesn’t control long rates, only short. At least not directly

I thought if it went down half of that it would show I was wrong, so why wait. Not afraid to take losses. im having some second thoughts to limiting myself to sector spyders. Too few opportunities. Also not a great time to be trading long.

No its ok, i know the answer. I was reviewing my pending orders and decided 45 points was more risk than i wanted to take, even on only 25 shares. so that answers the first two qiuestions. I chose this area because it just under where the stock broke through resistance. if it goes below that, i...

Took another look at chart and raised stop to $378. Which is just below where previous high/resistance was broken

Bought 300 XLRE @ 49.57 Rising and tight coming out of cup formation. I like how it’s holding up in the face of 2.54% 10 year greasy yield . Stop at 47.80 (below start of rising trend) Initial target for partial sell $52.17

Lots of people. Say consume less. I say F*ck that. I’m retired. I didn’t retire to watch my pennies. When Covid hit I picked up a bunch of bonds for my bond allocation(most of my $ is long term money, and asset allocated) at very good rates. A lot of them have matured, and I’m awash in cash...

Thanks DD, i will look at it. Nothing done today.

What am o missing. Aapl hasn’t traded near $150 since about March 15th

You’ve already seen the speculative run up. JMHO

But it’s had plenty of small pullbacks in between. on another note, has anyone used Finbox as a screening tool? I might have heard about it here, not sure. It looks interesting. If you’ve used it, how does it compare to FINVIZ, if you’ve got experience with both

I’ve been trading stocks. but I’ve decided I’m going back to my original plan. My universe will be the 11 Sector Spyders, plus maybe SPY, IWM, AND QQQ. That’s it. For now, it’s better to stay simple and focused. More to follow.

Won’t pass the Senate. Sadly.

Excellent comments, thanks

Thanks DD, no worries. You make very good points. I’m sort of glad the stock (PSA) dropped 10points after I bought/chased it, the drop drove home the point that I chased and it hurt me. I don’t think I chased for FOMO. I think I just felt the need to do something. Which isn’t so good either. I’d...
