Falling knives

yeah. when there are so many stocks overextended like recently, and not many new breakouts, i will take a bounce if the indices go along with it.
 
haven't been finding too many lately. As a result, I am looking to get into emini trading when i don't have a falling knife positions.

I monitor the markets throughout the day for FK's because they sometimes don't show up on end of the day scans.


Edit: I usually hold FK's for multiple days (at least two days with $1 profit target). 2000-5000 shares depending on price action.
 
you, my friend, are CRAZY!

But it can be very risky

You haven't traded them long enough. By far, this is the most low risk/reward method I have utilized for last six years.

Of course, I understand that comment. But think about this...if 90% of traders really fail,you need to do what 90% are not doing. Obviously if you trade the way everyone else does u will fail.

Also, i don't blindly buy a stock because it's falling. It's price action, a couple of technicals, some fundamentals and institutional activity. I don't get trades everyday and sometimes 1-2 weeks with no activity.

Anyone else here liked trading them?

Yes, especially intraday overreactions and the herdz inability to disseminate news quickly and accurately.

It goes without saying it can be deadly if you're wrong.

I exercise alot of caution with these.
