    Bears back finally? S&P drops to near 3000

    Good job, agree re intraday vs swing best. Up today, I trail stopped out of most inverses midday to lock profits. SCO short crude one of the best. Even did a single winning momo HTZ daytrade in 2.08 out 2.34 thrilling lol. Thx hafez for nudge re intraday, makes sense vs swings. Fwiw I...

    Bears back finally? S&P drops to near 3000

    Good point, true.... last time bear trap pivot off 3K support, this time we'll see if it finally stays under 3k if it goes down there. In the meantime I'm doing more daytrading, trailing close stops

    Bears back finally? S&P drops to near 3000

    Ok so what do you think about today's huge selloff? I say long overdue.... the key support is 3k S&P, also following the VIX. I've been struggling trying to bottomfish inverses for weeks now, perhaps they will continue up. Any thoughts re how you're planning to trade upcoming volatility...

    Anyone buying short ETF's ?

    Ive found these are best for daytrading or at most a week long swings, using trailing stops. Also learned that buying premkt gaps up is almost always bad, unless gap continuations are strong, so I'm unlikely to buy much premkt today. Trading SDOW UVXY TZA etc

    Daily Gaps & Breakouts with Ken Calhoun

    Great questions. Re overnight holds that's how I made $9k during February March selloff.... but lost much of it during recent rally. My thesis is this rally is going to stall and drop soon, so I've been in and out of tiny inverses to bottomfish. All overnight inverses were slightly in the...

    EU to ban travel from the U.S. when it re-opens on July 1st

    I simply can't make sense of why so many Americans, including those in the white house, are dumb AF when it comes to cv. Caution is critical

    Stocks that only know one direction

    I've been wrong during the run up but I'm still confident the market will crash hard sometime in the near future, this fed-propped market is not going to keep running up forever. But I'm daytrading long breakouts in the meantime:p

    Stocks that only know one direction

    I'm mostly daytrading now, because overnight gaps can go either way. Great volatility, look at INO PENN today Bear food: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/23/theres-a-wave-of-selling-estimated-to-be-in-the-billions-thats-about-to-hit-the-stock-market.html Now that I'm mostly cash and exhausted...

    What's the single thing you've done that's improved your results?

    Tighter stops and re-entries along with position sizing. Staying focused on price action relative to open range breakouts and gaps.

    Daily Gaps & Breakouts with Ken Calhoun

    Good to hear re setups. Right re FFHL, I reset entry after initial price drop for pivot entry. I do that daily, setting triggers initially way up slightly above premkt highs, then reset them much tighter after I see opening price action 9:30 - 9:40 TNA UCO both small gaps up, hedged with...
