Hello, Excellent question. My first post giving my theory of trading is not totally exhaustive and writing a book was not my goal. I will try to answer you in two parts. The "basic" reason for wanting to capture a trend before or at the start is that you can get more of the trend...

3 CVX was shorted @ 96.85 covered with 3 Jun 90 puts S:Brenton I have an ask of 37.11 SYNA

MIR earnings report came out today and while I didn't see the jump that would have finished off the trend in a great way I am happy that its still set up to short. First level shorts placed. Shorted MIR @ 40.08 and covered with June 37.50 puts @ .65

*** I intend to do Trades tomorrow *** This post will serve as my first call in this journal for a swing trade. I scale into and out of almost all my trades including day trades. I normally allow for 25% of a trades risk capital to be used per entry into a trade. I average in a...

Yeah, your probably right, death by knife or death by rope....... Its too bad that most of congress and the white house cant pass an econ 101 class

Lets see if we have it straight. Obama + dem controlled house and senate = the biggest robbery of wealth from the productive to the unproductive in the history of the United States. We will see a massive exit of wealth leaving for tax havens even though more laws will be passed in the...

I guess its being priced at the value of the customer service.

I still have the covered UAUA open thats underwater. + 2094 for the day + 3942 for the week + 5881 for the month + 44845 for the year

watching MIR as its appears to already be falling. I did not short it based on the earnings report coming out tomorrow. BWA is closed to confirming the end of its trend. Should be able to get the answer within the next four - six days. I did day trade a few today and that went well. I...

sux azz sux azz sux azz.......... second time in about two or so weeks. Last time cost me about $1K trade and today about $500 in lost profits. I really wish there was another program out there that would scan 1K stocks for me like TS Radar does. I probably would not get rid of TS but to...

Thanks Will, nice of you to say so. I wish you great trading as well.

Hello SG20, Thanks for taking the time to read the start of my journal. I am unsure without any trades entered in you came to the conclusion I don't know what a trend is but hopefully I will be adding some value with this journal. My goal is to identify the start of the trend before...

Keeping the powder dry for the swing trades as we watch the following for a complete of the trend. MIR SOHU ARO HAS I did manage to do some day trading today. I also was able to close out yesterdays carryover at a profit. (SPN) Out of the five day trades only one really gave me any...

MIR appears to be at the end of its upward trend and is setup as a short. There is an earnings conference on May 8th which is really good as it helps the timing of the entry. If the conference goes well and MIR moves up on the 8th I expect to see the pivot point on the 8th or the 9th. A...

This thread is being moved to the "Weinstein Trading and Fading" thread. the theory behind my trades that really wasnt complete to begin with is on page 25 of this thread. So I decided to start a new thread with the theory on page one and save everyone that wanted to know about it the...

Welcome to my journey on the road to hopefully kaizen (continuous improvement) with trading. I have traded the markets on and off for over 23 years (since I was 16). After reading many books and especially Tom DeMarks books I became convinced of a few things about trading. 1. Most people...
