    Calls to defund police?! Wtf epic fail

    The vast majority of police are heroes, honest hardworking professionals. Why would anyone (besides criminals) want to cut law enforcement resources? https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/06/us/what-is-defund-police-trnd/index.html I agree police brutality is bad, but most police don't do that as...

    The Big Bear Bet

    There is no way this market ends the year higher than here. A big drop will come, the key is timing entries based on price action, as always.

    The Big Bear Bet

    I learned the hard way not to predict, but instead to react.... Here I called market top January 24th, a month too early, I made money trading inverses February and March I thought early April was a dead cat bounce and we'd soon retest March lows, I was wrong. Lost money bottomfishing...

    The Big Bear Bet

    I still think the trade of the year is shorting the market on weakness when that happens. My swingtrading strategy for that is to scale into inverses at multiday highs. SQQQ TZA TVIX FAZ SPXS SDOW

    You guys chasing LK too? Its going nuts so I wonder what's up?

    Remember it was a $20+ stock earlier before it got slammed. It may be good for more on a move up, I'll mostly daytrade it with 30cent trailing stops fwiw. C'mon lucky LK lol

    The myth of letting your winners run

    Quick tip: if you're impatient like me and find yourself taking profits too soon, opening a small 2nd account like I did may be helpful. I have 2 different accounts, my main one for daytrading and short term swings, and this bitty one for longer time horizon swings.

    The myth of letting your winners run

    The reason I traded small was because it was a small account challenge I did for myself as a test. My goal last fall was to see if I could double an under-2k account. I did, due mainly to swingtrading a few shares of TVIX. The reason for tiny size was simply because it was a small account...

    How to Tell when a Trend has ended?

    A Ken C Special! Listening to his advice with small lot size.

    Here's what happens when you fall to scale. I am MAD at myself for failing to add to these massive percent winners in my small swing account. Epic fail because I didn't add to these on the way up

    A Ken C Special! Listening to his advice with small lot size.

    Great job! On a side note, I often find it smart to lighten up, close up to half winning swings on hot Fridays, since there might be weekend bad news that cause Monday gap downs. Another good reason for scaling in during uptrends, so average cost basis is low. Well played!
