Thanks for sharing, yes, your strategy is good, it goes with the trend, and buy at low, sell high. If i use 1 min chart, will it be different? Cause not sure whether will be used to seeing 3 or 5min chart, but I'll try and see next week

+278 ok, before today's trading i'm telling myself to be: - Must go with the intraday trend - Must not be always go short, should go long too Shorted CLF at 9:48am, at $52.44, CLF has been going up for few days, so thought will be good idea to short it, Dow index is falling -ve, but to...

+278 traded positive today but did not honour some stops, mixed results, hmmm

i should realise i'm fighting an uphill trendwhen my stop keep getting hit so many times for CLF, now i know :D Always wanted to try to build an automated trading system, but will do that only after i "graduated" and able to pay my monthly bills

loss -9 Today shorting the wrong stock, did not realise CLF has good earning news, go and short it in the morning, because previous day activity seems like a good short. Till later then i saw the good earning news, but still i go and short it, and -$40 stop getting hit numerous times...

-9, overtrade, got stop hit most shorting in the morning, should have taken hint that i'm in the wrong trend Good thing about setting my $0.20 stop is it will cut loss before it develop quickly into a red monster But here comes the bad thing, it will lead me to overtrade, buy sell buy...

hi NoDoji, thanks for pointing out the short squeeze site.

Trade with DE today, good earning, thought it will shoot thru roof, so bought in early 9:56am at low 57.33 size 200. No stop. So new rule is: i should have implemented STOP: at -$0.20 at $57.13 !!!!!!!!!!!For every new buy, i need -$0.20 STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From now on !!!!!

hi limitupmike2, Currently i'm not using stop at all, but at least i'll still cut loss at midday if it is really that weak. Yes, i use small size now, but wondering how to avoid the day when suddenly, i thought it is the bottom day, and i buy with all my buying power, forgetting about the...
