Very true. One of the opportunities I missed.

Bank robbers rob banks because that is where the money is. I trade in the US market because that is where the action is.

You could spin that as we are more law abiding or more inept at catching criminals or Canadian judges are more lenient, we put a lot of criminals back on the street. Then there is the possibility that Canadian criminals are much smarter than those in the US. It's all in how the media spins it.

Tell that to the non white population of Canada. I'll give you that one BC had more fentanyl related deaths than Covid deaths. We have Indigenous and other minorities. Same problem smaller scale Based on what criteria? Tell that to the guys who are locked up. I'll have to admit we are a...

The way our Government is giving away money I don't see much hope for the Canadian Peso in the near future. Not sure we are any more stable; smaller for sure but pretty well have the same problems. That said I'm happy and proud to be Canadian. Wouldn't live anywhere else, except in the winter :)

Why would you want the Canadian Market? It has underperformed the US for years.

You should have a plan that answers the following questions before you enter a trade. What do I buy? How much do I buy? When do I sell.

Spend 7 bucks and try Ken Calhoun's site. Then you can report back to ET and give us a review. :)

The question is how long to hold and when to sell? How many stocks would you hold? When would you rebalance your portfolio? Would it beat a strategy like the Dow Dogs where you choose companies based on dividend returns.

I assumed you were a trader because you are using options. You can trade momentum over longer periods that one day.

What about them? They are part of trading. You still sleep better knowing that your account balance will be the same regardless of what happens overnight. You can only control what you do, not what the market does.

Why are you struggling? Is the strategy not working or is the trader not following the process for some reason?

Why not just trade what's moving?

VectorVest. There is a fairly inexpensive trial.

Yep!! Here's a trader that has apparently got it made. Life is short!! Remember to spend as much time as you can on internet forums desperately seeking validation from strangers.

Interesting but has nothing to do with the topic of swing trading stocks

I misunderstood; I read that you limited the size of any one position to 10% of your capital. I was wrong.:(

Why 10%? As long as you are only risking a percentage of your capital why limit the amount of capital?
