So from Oct 2018 to Jan 2019 I had an incredible run! Not that the run was luck. It was based on sound methodologies based on setups I know works well. Feb and Mar were horrible months for me. But Feb & Mar were horrible because of a long time bad habits that I knew will one day bite me in the...

Hi ET, Do you know if it's possible to have an intraday chart with daily features on it? For example, I'm look at 5 min chart but I want the moving average on the daily bars to show on the itnraday 5min chart? And is it possible on IB and how to do it? Thanks!

Yep. That's the goal! Just need to keep it consistent and gradually scale up. In the deepest of my hearts, I believe I can consistently do 5K-10K a day. This feels very reasonable and doable with my current skillsets but with more scaling. A year ago not. But I'm much better now. I need to get...

Yeah, this is what I realized too. I wasted a few years trying to trade index futures with very mixed and net negative results. But now that I'm better overall at trading in general(better risk management, better price action reading, etc.) I think I can do well in index futures trading too. But...

Perhaps. Nowadays, I'm exclusively trading stocks and options since those are the only ones available on Robinhood. Wait til 12/31/2019 to tally more results. This year will be the breakout stellar year...

wrbtrader, That's a good question. When I started out in prop trading years ago, it was all stock. I was a beginner trader so I still new to the game and didn't do well. Then I went back to Corporate America. I traded futures with had lower margins requirements. The results were mixed. But net...

Steady goes it. This week been making $1K-$2K a day with just an hour in the morning of trading. If I don't try to swing for the fences and just do my regular trading I should be fine. Next step is to make it consistently so then steadily scale it up. I want my average day to be $5K-$10K. When...

I sold my SQQQ calls too soon. I had a massive position and since it moved only slightly I sold most of it yesterday. Now this morning SQQQ went above $12! I'm more of a swing trader so I should not let intraday chart influences me on my swing trades. On my daytrades, yes, intraday charts are...

Big lesson learned. I should have played QQQ puts instead of SQQQ calls. QQQ puts moved a LOT more and have plenty more liquidity.

did you see BPTH today?! Whoa! I didn't see it on my scanner(different settings). After the close, I read about it. Wished I spotted it and was in for the ride!

I remembered that. I wished I had put everything into beaten down stocks in 2009 and just sit back for 10 years and rode it back up..

I bought a bunch of SQQQ calls at toward the end of the day. Hopefully it pays off...

i was scalping QQQ puts this morning. Made over $1K. Not too bad. My target is $5K+ a day. Still working on it..

Actually, had I loaded up on SPY puts today I would have been paid. But I have other things to attend to besides trading all day.

We did make nice money in gold calls! I made bank on those gold calls in January. what are you playing nowadays bro?

I bought calls 11 strike on SQQQ. It went up 20 cents today but still another 20 below the price I bought it. Options decay like crazy if things don't move int he right direction. I got in my TQQQ calls on Friday then flipped it this morning for $2K+ in 30mins. Had I held on I would have loss...

Got out of my TQQQ call options. I'm glad I got out of SQQQ on Friday and reversed. Stay with the trend until it changes. Hopefully March will be the month I make back my losses. I'm already up 6% today alone.

Glad I shifted from short to long. Can't wait to Monday's open! Ka-ching! go NQ!

I wished I was still playing PCG. It made the most money for me. I started playing small illiquid names options. The bid/ask alone screwed me. Then when it goes against you, getting out can be painful. lol. But the bigger fundamental issue was using put to do an implicit short when markets were...
