Yes and Yes. It's a book I've had for a few years and refer to it from time to time. The majority of investing books tell you when to buy, but have very little about exiting a position. Even ETer's recommend stocks to buy but few ever suggest when to sell. I think it's a worthwhile read...

LOL :banghead::banghead: Yes you do!!!

Nice trade. Was 18.27 a target or did you exit on the way down. I get you r/r at 2.3 You risk 31 cents to make 72

What kind of bite did you manage to take out of todays range? Just one trade or several?

You day trading these picks? CRK would have been a great swing trade @ 11

Why not PBF? If your going to pick a chart after the fact at least pick a good one.

Exactly. If you post enough stocks from the leading sectors sooner or later you'll have a ten bagger you can brag about.

I also doubt that any of the above are bored with what they do.

Probably the only two book you need.

If you want the big returns you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. My theory is the reason people hire financial advisors is so they don't have to make uncomfortable decisions.

Why would that be better? Advantages ? Disadvantages?

I don't find trading boring. I find it interesting and challenging. The markets are always the same and always different, no two days are identical. As a trader you react to what the market is doing. I no longer find the market stressful. I know exactly how I will react to what the market throws...

Isn't there some sort of 80/20 rule? It seem like 80 percent of my profits come from 20% of my trades. One good trade can make your year, one bad loss takes you out of the game.

What do you mean no leverage???? Try knocking one of them birds out of the sky by throwing one of those little pieces of lead by hand. Pushing it out of a steel tube with exposives is using max leverage.

Only you can answer if you passed the test. I'm not even sure how you grade yourself. My test is simple, did I follow my plan, yes or no. It's a tough test to pass if you don't have a plan. I pay commissions. Canada takes a while to catch up to the rest of the world.

Not sure if you are paying commissions or not. If not consider taking a partial position when the stock peaks your interest. If it moves in your favor, you can add, If it moves against you, then your loss is fairly small. If it comes down and reverses you can add. Cures FOMO and buyers regret...

You want to buy the stock because you think it will go up but in order for you to buy you want it to go down. Do you see a conflict of emotions? :)

This is the problem, not the time frame they are trading.(My bold & underline) Day trading is the least risky because of the time you actually have your money at risk.

My concern is that you don't have access to the internet. If countries can limit internet access, who says that we will be able to make transactions when things fall apart. If you have to flee the US, where you gonna go?

Wouldn't you say that triggers are indiviual. What triggers you may not trigger other traders. I think it's a case of looking within oneself.
