    Stop Losses are killing me

    I had 2 trades today in TZA, a small stop (buy 20.7 sell 20.2) and a big WIN (buy20.41 sell 21.4). Perfect 2:1 risk:reward. If only I'd traded larger size. In this winning trade I tightened trailing stop to 21.4 as it broke over 21.5 because length of pivot run was exactly same as in prior...

    Stop Losses are killing me

    Initially yes, I give it time to either stop out or move in my favor. Once a $20ish stock or etf like TZA runs up .50 or more I tighten trailing stop to .3 or tighter

    Stop Losses are killing me

    The best strategy I use for daytrading stocks is OTO with automatic trailing stops. I start with a wide trailing stop eg .60 to $1, then tighten up the further a winner runs. I did that successfully today daytrading bounces in SDOW UVXY TZA.

    Bears back finally? S&P drops to near 3000

    Yeah me too, shaken out of daytrading entries on chop TZA etc, inverses did decent bounces after early drop but choppy, took out trailing stops. Still in SDOW, SRTY, will enter UVXY if bounces. Will keep small swings open over weekend. Big moves up earlier in CCL DAL

    Shutdown II... the Death Blow

    It's a DEADLY PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. Killing thousands daily. Nobody's trying to infringe on constitutional rights... wtf If you are in a freeway accident and the cop tells you to get off the road he's not infringing on your rights either. It's an emergency situation

    Shutdown II... the Death Blow

    American stubbornness and denial is why there's more cases and deaths per capita here than any other country. What will it take before people do what doctors tell them to re masks and distancing?? Answer is they won't,, even as deaths skyrocket. On their tombstones will read R.I.P...

    Day trading profit target

    True. No stopping once you are having a great day Until you start taking more stops than wins in a day. There's nothing more frustrating than to be up $1100 at noon then overtrade and give it all back by 4

    Day trading profit target

    Great topic, profit targets aren't as important as a daily loss limit. If I'm down 500 I quit for the day. If I'm up 800-1k I quit if I then lose 200 or so, those are my goals. Big fckin tip: progressive downsizing when you're trending red, upsize when trending green. When active...
