Hi Xspurt, Thanks for your post. Yeah its hard to argue with your points. I can not 'think' about my trading until after they are done as that lowers my performance. SNDK was entered as a result of changes in my algorithm that lowered the value placed on a gapping up stock. Actually...

stop nightmare I took a lot of stops today. Just about everything I traded had a stop at one time or another that ended up being at the top of a move. This was especially so with SNDK which I stopped out of much above 33 when it could be argued that I should have been adding at that time (I...

One trade today I received a short signal with SNDK and shorted relatively strongly today. This was actually after it went a little above my entry point as I wanted to be conservative at least at first. I did short near the high of the move and it went down and as it came back I covered some...

Hey Neke, I would like to respectfully disagree with you here on this point. Making 10K in a week is not 'ok'. Its great It is really great. There is nothing ok about it. You made more this week than most make on their money in a year. Plus you made some changes and they often take...

Hi TF, Good point about the money. I stopped tracking my monthly results a few weeks ago. I find it to be less pressure especially when close to a round number. I might just take the daily PnL off too. That may take some pressure off but I tend to push my trades further as a result...

You folks can talk oil all you want. Love oil. Next 'drip' down I will probably be looking at selling puts (never calls though)

Thanks, I waited until it went over 42 and kept the size small and spread large. I am happy to say that less than 3 minutes later I took 2.22 a share and was flat again. A lot of hours and a lot of work really paid off nicely in that trade. Best to you Robert

Hi Oracle, I have to agree that anyone active must have been trying to keep their hands off the button to sell at least some. Few can sit on their hands with moves like today. But asking why it moved like it did is where it appears to be good. while the info is always stale it does appear...

Hi Brian, Thanks much. very cool of you to say so and I am not going to let you, myself (and many others) down. I have spent a great deal of time and will continue to do so on the mental aspects of trading. This week was different in that I am trading my gapup, WW, MW, and my B8 signals...

I would rather see the market go higher but either way is ok. So I will wish you the best and hope you make large cash with your trade Robert

Hi Nod, Strange that they halt on the second release. I am guessing the first reaction was much greater than they thought. I think halting stocks is a total waste of time and money. Other than protecting the insiders who are pulling the strings I don't think it would be done. Perhaps it...

While driving today I heard on CNBC that the VIX is pretty low. I would like to see the market move higher for a while. Robert

Hi 21, DLTR was a bitch but actually it was a signal and they don't all work out so "oh well" it was a small loss and I am willing to take small losses when the payouts are almost as good and the hit rate is off the charts. I also agree that when it looks the most scary and everything...

Hi Deadwood, Good advice. I have two news feeds. I actually normally don't get a lot of value out of them. I think from my understanding is that you need to have bloomberg for news and stare at it all day long waiting with your finger on the button or your gonna be late. What news...

Hi CGR, Thanks and as it turns out you are correct about DLTR Not much else to say besides it had a bad result Best Robert

Hi GG, If there is one thing I know is that my ability to read a chart is poor at best. This is why I am only now taking trades based on signals and never trying to "figure it out" by looking at a chart. So thank you for posting the charts but to even try to gather an opinion is counter...

Hi Xspurt, right you are. We all are playing a "risky game" and I agree I am too. "Good chance for a gap up and run continuation." well I guess I can't argue with that either. I develop my signals based on the statistical odds from back testing. Either they meet the criteria or they...

Traded well today and this week and I am pretty happy about that This week was about trading only signals and as the week progressed I was on target and really making progress to getting it all back on track. I would even go so far as to say that my discipline this week has been the best it...

Slow day of mostly trading DLTR Thinking that DLTR may move higher in the open due to the Cramer effect I closed out of about half of it in premarket near or better than the close yesterday. I don’t know actually what caused the spike but I guess I was correct about the spike. I did short...

Hello Oracle, Thanks Yes I agree. First thing for me is to not take a trade unless it is part of the plan. Today was negative but was part of the plan. Best to you for the rest of the week Robert
