The Piker Trading Journal, Gains-Losses.

Hey JesseJamesFinn1,

How do you scan for the names? Feel free to ignore if it's your "secret recipe."

No worries, look at the price on MOHO and ask how

I'm sure @JesseJamesFinn1 will share what he uses to scan. I use a software called scanz ... you can get info at scanz.com.

Most brokers have free scanners and many of us scan for biggest % gainers, biggest gappers, etc.

Here is the current Top 10% Nasdaq gainers on Think or Swim which is free for TD Ameritrade customers.

Hey my friend, the trick is how do you get filled at this price?

Original reason of my Journal was to demonstrate you don't need a $500k account to make money. Using a Piker size account my balance is up over $7500 today.

You still starting the month with around $5-$7K in the account?

Nice trading boss.

If a stock is hitting a 52 week high there's added competition from all the trading rooms so please be safe chasing these.

Yupsir!

@newbie463 There is no scaner that is going to tell you which stocks are about to break out. The secret sauce is wait until a stock has already moved 30-50% or more and then join the momo.

Many good noobs don't realize we both have been sitting in front of a LL2 for decades, the greatest video game on Earth! Not showing off, my selling is based off Darvas-Brooks hybrid.
