I rate myself by whether I followed my plan.

I don't recall Ken posting complete results. I have no doubt he trades real money. Once in a while he shows winning trades and posts his good days but I don't recall any posts that show every trade he makes during a day or anything that shows what kind of returns he achieves.

Volume & price action

As a retail trader I can never compete with the institutions for research. They spend millions analysing all the data that is available. What they do with that information shows up on the charts. Once I can see what the institutions are doing I can follow along. The only info I need is on the...

Did you only take set-ups that were in your plan or were you making things up as you went? Doesn't matter if you made money or how many trades you made. Did you follow your plan?

Here is where we operate differently; I trade singe stocks although I could trade an index ETF. I enter at $100 and my stop is $ 92. I have no target; only for the stock to move above 100 and keep moving up. I put a trend line below the lows and when the price breaks the trend line I exit. I...

Not if the winner is about to turn into a loser as you suggested. I call it taking a planned exit. I never get the top.

I have trouble finding 10 A grade trades a week much less 10 per day. Must be too picky!!

Shouldn't happen if you trail a stop.

How about your losing weeks/months I guessing you also had many trades. When you minimize risk are you also minimizing profit potential. As an educator your goals are probably different than someone who trades for a living.

I know it's a question you will dodge but how's that working out for you? Are you outperforming a buy and hold strategy? Too many positions to keep track of. I watched one of your free offerings a while back and noticed that you had missed a couple of entries you had called while you were busy...

I know they do. What I can't figure out is why.:):):)

Why would you follow someone on twitter who didn't have a track record?

Where do you get followers if you are not showing winning trades?

Well you know; sometimes you guys are wrong. Just sayin.

Thank you for an explanation I can understand. So portfolio management is based on a bunch of factors. The investment managers look at all these factors and come up with a portfolio to give you the best risk adjusted return. With all this knowledge and research power, millions of dollars...

I tried; honestly I tried, but I got bogged down on the first page. You have to take the information and make it understandable to a 12 year old rather than someone who thrives on academic papers. The conclusion states ; "Factor investing is based on the existence of factors that have earned a...

I've been doing this for some time now and haven't experienced large drawdowns. Attempting to avoid large drawdowns, like the tech wreck in the early 2000's, is the reason I migrated to this strategy. I was lucky enough to be out of the market in 2008 and 2020 by following the strategy. I...

Mainly I scan for stocks in a price & volume range making new highs. I further refine the search looking for breakouts to new highs on above average volume. A quick look at the chart will tell me where the price has been in the past and what interest there is now.

No my risk is the difference between the entry and the stop. If the entry is $10 and the stop is calculated to be 9 then I have a risk of one dollar. If my account size is 100K then 1% risk is 1K. my position size would be 1000 shares. I'm not indexing momentum as I rarely have more than 10...
