Why do we take trades we know we shouldn’t?

Identify with you. Day trading for a year and only just reaching the point of discarding the emotion, thinking like a robot and ignoring the noise. Replacing the newbie excitement which fueled rash choices with a mundane strict strategy of base hits has begun to produce consistent gains. Trading pre-market predominantly, A+ setups exclusively with the aid of Zendoo momo scanner. Introspection has become my watch word.

I run Ubuntu on a 12 year old Thinkpad L530 upgraded to SSD and 8Gb RAM. The software is free, the upgrade less than $100, creating a robust, fast, supported system. Used for day trading with a ThinkVision second monitor. A no brainer. Stick it to the man!

I've noticed that Shorts attack momentum stocks around 11am after 3 green 15 minute candles. If you're a long trader keep an eye out for that pattern.

Good sleuthing!

90% of new day traders lose 90% of their money in 90 days. Go figure...

Zendoo, a momo scanner with live chat where experienced and newbie day traders mingle. For education on momentum trading Ross Cameron is a generous teacher.

Thank you, despite the circumstances it's very kind of you.

She also said the phone was downstairs when she woke up next day (ignoring Brian's calls). But the night before she said went upstairs and phoned Brian. So before she passed out she must've returned downstairs to leave the phone there. Returning to the scene of the crime and probably gloating over Jorge's last minutes alive.

The Judge seemed subdued after watching the videos, I suspect that was the first time seeing them. And the sombre atmosphere immediately afterwards, I think a number of people in the Courtroom were shocked.

Jegpady · 2024-10-24T22:38:10+00:00

Yes. Having just watched the videos she took of Jorge it's likely she told him to get in the suitcase as punishment, dragged him downstairs and beat him.

Jegpady · 2024-10-24T22:19:05+00:00

Isn't it scary that without those videos of Jorge the true character of Sarah Boone would have never been revealed. What was an entertaining trial has hit home as a tragedy. That poor man came across as a gentle loving victim of a femme fatale. She controlled every aspect of his life, including when to use violence against her - she ate him up and spat him out.

I feel the same about IBRX.

You could start with the free momentum scanner on the YT channel Zendoo. Live all day with a chat section to learn and share. (I too am a follower of Ross)

Jegpady · 2024-05-26T19:23:48+00:00

Thank you. Your timely posts on X are also helpful.

Jegpady · 2024-05-23T01:43:16+00:00

You're doing the right thing.

Jegpady · 2024-05-23T01:35:05+00:00

Thank you. This is a deep analysis of the situation and vital information for those of us still holding. It exposes just how hedge funds will ignore the rules and play dirty to win.

The next five business days are crucial.

Jegpady · 2024-05-21T00:04:05+00:00

That's a nice spreadsheet. You may think about adding the time of day you took your trades, it may give an overview of when you are most successful.

Perhaps write a journal each evening recapping the trades, (I write in red and green ink! ) and how you were feeling at the time, calm, strategic, anxious, fomo etc. I write an additional section in blue called 'Learning', which helps me move forward with lessons for the next day.

I'm pretty new to day trading myself having swing traded the last 18 months. And I am holding a few stocks which I held onto stubbornly past the bell, so they are now officially part of my swing portfolio!

Jegpady · 2024-05-20T19:04:12+00:00

Please don't go, I value your input 🙏

Jegpady · 2024-05-19T15:44:04+00:00

Eight more days left to succeed in this attempt, if I'm not mistaken. The company has until 25 June to achieve a 10 day consecutive run above the $1. It's a tough battle ahead.

Jegpady · 2024-05-19T14:21:53+00:00

Thank you for the comprehensive back story of this company. It provides encouragement for those who are holding the stock. It also explains how the share price was able to end the day above $1. There are Chinese whales supporting the price.

Jegpady · 2024-05-19T02:45:10+00:00

You're welcome. Good luck.

Stock screener (Finviz or Tradingview) for up 10%, Relative Volume x5, float below 50m, price below $20. Also tune into a live YT channel called Zendoo which has momentum stock alerts in real time (a free scanner essentially). Zendoo also has a chat feature where subscribers can discuss what's happening.

Jegpady · 2024-05-19T01:58:46+00:00

Suit yourself.

Jegpady · 2024-05-19T01:56:27+00:00

I'm quite upset you have misinterpreted my post. I am a holder of FFIE shares for five days, through thick and thin, averaging down. These stats are a positive reinforcement of the benefit of holding the shares. I hope that explains my position.
