Hi Felix, I've been in cash for a month or so, seemed like a range market in equities, with only few super cash rich companies pulling indexes slightly up. Not a great environment for my discretionary trading, so collecting safe interest, waiting for conditions to change. Intuitively I don't see...

Some personal stuff going on so don’t feel like posting much. After one short rally breakouts were failing most Feb so I switched to index futures for very short term moves. Thursday seemed like a buying attempt, similar to early Jan, so bought SQ and a few leveraged ETFs, then flew south. Will...

Right, research charting is separate. Still need to have quite a few charts at the moment of execution. MotiveWave looks promising. I like how they show cumulative PL after each execution, charts feel much more lightweight comparing to IB. TradingView is what I use for looking at a lot of...

Was fairly content with IB, but feeling like reaching its' limitations when it comes to features, speed and charts usability. Will appreciate good trading platform recommendations for active traders. Requirements: Instruments - futures/equities/options (but can keep options out of it) Speedy...

This is not just few stocks went up. Wed was a very special day, FOMC language drammatically changed indicating there might not be a recession for a first time. This was likely the confirmation many investors were waiting for to get long. Market might run from here for quite some tome as it did...

Might not wanna touch my longs for some time now.

A long time follower asked in DM why I blurred positions names. It's not a big secret, honestly, they might just be taking attention away from the process, which matters much more. In my personal development the best learnings were not from knowing of someone's positions but rather their...

Just in case if someone tries to trade off my calls - trade with caution if you take it, determine in advance what would be your exit scenarios, how much you are willing to lose and how patient you will be till trade is in the green. I myself won't be in a trade for too long unless it's green...

Good for 1 day of work. PS. Fresh COT came out, speculators keep shorting, commercials keep buying.

I seems like there will be pain for TSLA after-hours. Took profits on full position @ 159.17, need to see better price action during Asian or London session to get back.

Full position is back on during the morning sell-off. Seems like could be a nice swing up from here, SPY is getting comfortable above bear trend line. GDP is great, jobless claims are great. The worst thing to do right now is not to have a position. Let's see if market can close strong, that...

TSLA made more than enough to buy a Tesla. Did another trade just around the earnings after hours. In the press conference Musk said recessions is good for them as they expect all costs to go down if that to happen. There are so many Teslas in my city, even some cabs use them now, once a car...

Out of most stocks, great 3d swing. Left ~20% on, might take off by EOD. Don't see good R:R for new long entries right now. Time to wait and see. TSLA indeed turned out to be the best R:R of this swing, made 7.5 times risk on it, but many did great anyway. Out for TSLA, earnings tomorrow after...

Gotten back to stocks starting from pre-market, gradually built decent size position to benefit if it turns out a shake out before rally continues. Cought nice 20$ move in ES on 10 contracts, it seems to wanna go higher but 20 points in 1h is a good move. Stocks will do the rest. I'm ditching...

Shorted 3 stocks near the open, all but FSLR was waste of time. FSLR sold off too fast so closed it too. The rest looked too much like a pullback by mid-day. Noticed that when that happens, eg. no broken charts as a results of market selling, there are increased odds of buyers coming in thinking...

Sold all stocks, bought SOXS, keeping TMF

It was a meaningful PL for account. I close positions unless in profit shortly after entry and add to winners, then stop loss order. Win rate is low swinging this way and winners are much bigger. Biggest danger is trying to make something work that doesn’t way too many times. Getting a context...

+40k or so this week, swing trades

No didn’t short TSLA, don’t see R:R shorting names that are down so much so fast. Was long few times but took quick profits as price action indicated it wasn’t time for a rally. Like green volume coming in at these levels over past couple of weeks. Weekly looks great for a possible take off. It...

TSLA is pretty exceptional R:R here. 156 and 176 are two profit targets. Stop below todays low. Increased my position.
