I have so much practice protecting my money from my own lack trading ability that I see these simple signs after enough repetition. Take my advice, any other losing traders. If you just cut losses you can stay in the casino a lot longer....

That is some killer inside info you got there.

He's got a point. I've wondered myself if a big bank holiday is on the way, and it might not be better to close out the accounts and load up on liquor and lear jets.

Possibly the beginnings of the momentum divergences seen at double bottom swing low (SPY): Regarding the reversal of buttons when stops are always hit - I've tried this and it actually worked, on the shorter time frames! For me, the better solution was to move my entried and exits a quarter to...

I've wondered for years of my stops are someone else's target!

YOLO!

Waiting for some kind of relief rally so I can gear up for a pivit, but the market just keeps getting slammed. Shorting it now feels sooooooo wrong!

If I was rich, I would only be able to associate with other rich people because no one else would be sincere if they knew I could buy their block. I honestly believe I've made myself fail at trading because it is a very lonely and low-prestige profession. No one lights up with a smile when I...

I will post some live trades in here and tell you my thoughts in my moment of weakness. For entertainment value, of course. :D

Don't lie, who saw today's epic rise and made a few millions? :D

I like that trade, and we could be at the end of the bigger move but I've played the muppet all year trying to go long. If you can make money that way, I salute you!

Momo indicators starting to break their trends, possibly one last reaction before another pop (sqqq):

Day's not over yet...

So we can reload the shorts? :D

Mixed clues on the hourly chart (SPY). Starting to see capitulation volume and the golden ratio extension target, but no momo divergences yet. Although, it sure "feels" ripe for a violent bounce......

When I bought my last plane with a huge bonus they paid us last year, I told the guys in the office it would be better to get something I will still have in a few years, than lose it all in the stock market. They plowed theirs into their (long only) 401ks. Turned out I may have done the right...

Yes exactly! That's how I learned to land (on a dry lakebed) - fly down to a foot above the surface and hold it there as long as possible until it lands itself. It's on the test also, called a "soft field" landing. The "short field" landing is basically navy style. Just plop it down in the...

It was a sunset flight in an ultralight. My sense of time may be off because it flies by when I'm pumped full of adrenaline. That plane makes me grin for hours after a 10 minute hop.

Wow, seriously, thanks for all the responses. It got me thinking about when this all started and why. I've done the record analysis to see if cutting winners is better than letting them run with a trail stop, and on certain stocks it has always been way better to take profits quick. Others...

I don't know!
