For this trade, you do want movement in the stock, preferably a large move upward. For a backspread, more options are purchased than sold. Looking at the graph, you would, for example, buy two calls at B, the higher strike. And you would sell one call at A, generally resulting in a net credit...

Hey thanks for the feedback. Valid points. I'm definitely going against a pretty strong headwind, no doubt. My commission is $3.40 rt, and my plan at first is to just survive, so capital preservation will be my biggest goal. Off the top of my head, I believe overnight margin for the NQ is...

Hey guys, I decided to make another journal. The main purpose of my journal is to document my trades and also to give me the added accountability of having to post my trades and my results for all to see. I have a small account, and I will focus on trading the NQ for the most part. I...

Hey guys, I have some bad news. I'm done. I had a meltdown today and my losses are north of $700. I'm extremely disappointed in myself. I feel horrible. It would be easy to bullshit and just say I'm just taking a break, but sadly the losses are real. I feel like I've let everyone down who...

I placed 2 trades today. The first trade was a long off of a 1-2-3 setup, and I waited for the retrace again. The trade went in my favor enough to trigger my b/e+1 stop but it stopped just 1 tick short of protecting some of profit. Unfortunately price reversed and I was stopped out for b/e+1...

No trades today. I was going to place an order not long after the open, but I didn't get the fill. Not long after that I decided to just watch for the day. I'm still not feeling 100% and that also had some to do with my decision to stop for the day. Over the weekend I also considered how much...

Turveyd - Thanks for the suggestion! I've used MAs before on my charts and I've been drifting towards having less on my charts lately. Who knows, I'm always open to trying so I may end up putting one back on the chart and see how it goes. Week 9 Results 21 Trades: 11 wins, 10 losses Monday...

Hey Handle thanks! Ok I'll keep that in mind about retraces, and I'll also have to keep my eye out for the h&s patterns more. I'm used to seeing them as top patterns, but I really need to recognize when they appear as bottom patterns more, because to be honest I rarely ever notice them. I've...

Toucan and RN - thanks guys, glad to have this week over. I need some time to relax! Today went ok. I placed 4 trades. The first trade didn't work out. After a small retrace it looked like price was heading higher so I went long. Like ND pointed out to me a few days ago, I didn't give myself...
