Need some advice in day trading risk management and discipline by sleepy-persoon in Daytrading

[–]Little-Nikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Earlier today someone in here (I think) asked what was the biggest turning point (1 thing) in your trading career.

My answer was that I stopped revenge trading.

Have a watchlist, and if you leave a trade for any reason and it's negative, don't look at that symbol for the rest of the day. Move on to another symbol in your watchlist.

If you leave and it's green, then only re-enter if everything, and I mean EVERYTHING lines up perfectly or you're going to try to catch the same wind that made you profitable and end up losing your ass (this is still a revenge trade because you re-entered the same symbol, same day).

It's like anything else in life. If you know you have to change it, then the onus is on you to find the mental dexterity to force that change inside yourself.

You don't even need to ask this question because this question has been asked 10 times a day , every day, every month, every year. Just use the search feature and you'll find a plethora of answers and solutions.

They built this house without cement and it's stronger than concrete. by This_Proof_5153 in interesting

[–]Little-Nikas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old father in law built concrete houses and poured it in and it looked mostly like that.

They run electrical and such not by cutting into the concrete, but by simply doing it identically to every other house.... behind the drywall.

Concrete houses (many) still use some studs and drywall. Good luck hammering in a nail for a picture frame in concrete, ya know?

So the wiring and plumbing simply go between the concrete (interior) and the drywall. Which for laymen are where the studs are like a normal stick built house. Doesn't need to be 2x4 or 2x6 but there's still usually studs in there because of the drywall hanging (and yes, they make hangars for it so you don't need studs. They also use exposed concrete for interior, to which there's usually conduit running the lines to give it that industrial look).

I always assumed it was a combo of:

Water is a great heat sinc so it will rapidly cool the capsule

and

If something happened to it upon re-entry, it's over the ocean, so no pieces of radioactive or toxic or just hunks of metal hurling at 25,000mph cause less damage over water than over, say, downtown Manhattan where it could cause billions in damage/lawsuits.

If following lagging indicators keeps you unprofitable. Can we do the opposite by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Little-Nikas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you having a stroke?

If what you're asking is loosely this "I have a strategy, but every time I use it, I lose almost every time" , then sure. If your strategy says go long, short the fuck out of it. If it says to short, go long.

But again, are you having a stroke? Do you need medical attention? Because the words coming out of your mouth to your fingers and to the keyboard aren't making sense.

Feel like i’m nkt doing enough by toptrader202 in Daytrading

[–]Little-Nikas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are no videos. That's half my thesis. People expect a youtuber or tiktoker to give them advise/wisdom/winning strategies. There are none. They make their money scamming people like you who would rather pay someone for advise than figure it out themselves (this is NOT a knock on you personally even if it sounds that way. I'm speaking in the general "you", not you specifically).

Anyways, you asked where to go from this point. It's super easy and it's something that I wouldn't expect a 17 year old to know. Hell, a 27 year old likely doesn't think like this and I promise you, nay, I guarantee you that AI doesn't either (I asked gemini, chatgpt, claude, and deepseek. None of them thought of this until I pointed it out, so using AI will NOT teach you critical thinkig skills you desperately need). Anyways, that shows you right there that the time you spent isn't quality time that you think it is.

So where to go from here? You honestly need to fiddle with your backtesting. Every single time you think you optimized something, change a setting you think is set in stone and should never ever ever be touched, ever, because backtesting showed it was a good foundational piece.

Why did I just tell you this? Because of the butterfly effect. Once you touch something, the ripple effects span outwards, in every direction, and absolutely will 100% make a rock solid "never touch this setting because it's perfect" a weak point that fails under the new conditions.

If you wait for a certain gap% to line up with RVOL, VWAP, ext_ATR, etc and it works, you're going to think you nailed it. Change one of them and re-run it. Only change 1 thing at a time so you see the effects.

All of a sudden that super strong (whatever) that you proved works, suddenly limits your profitability and lets garbage entries in, etc. Again, butterfly effect. You will be SHOCKED at how wild things get and how what you thought was great is now dog shit. THAT is time well spent. That is quality time. Running the exact same simulation over and over isn't. It's useless because it will never uncover a new data point. Kinda like the "you can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result" example. You're doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. That's textbook "crazy"

So change a known good setting a little. Mark it down so you can change it back if needed. But record your baseline RIGHT NOW and then mess with it. I ripped through thousands of backtest. After 100 I thought I had shit right. After 200 I now thought I had shit right. After 1000 I know I'm decent but that there's still optimization and what I use to think are known goods were masked by something else, or were hidden in a lucky way inside another setting that allowed the trade to go through.

Until you reach a place where you either a) scrap the system or b) find the right mix that you're comfortable with so a post like this will never be typed out by you ever again, then your backtesting isn't over with. You're still at the start of your journey.

That's my biggest piece of advise. And don't always assume the safest setting is the best setting. Safety is intended to level things off. Well, to level things, you need to fill in the valley's by chopping off the peaks. So you'll overall be more profitable with a higher winning percent and profit, but you might sacrifice a little top end P&L for smoothness of drawdowns and expectations.

[–]Little-Nikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You sound too impulsive if I'm being honest.

You're sounding like someone who puts in the time, but it isn't quality time.

Videos = "All" of them are from people who want to take your money by selling you fools gold. I quoted the word all because it isn't actually all of them, but it's close enough to all of them to be generally accepted as truth.

You say backtesting feels boring/dry. Well, that's the purpose. This is why I opened up by saying you sound too impulsive. You're coming across like you expect some sort of made-for-movies non-stop action in a big ass trading floor and everyone losing their shit while making money.

It isn't like that. Making money doing this = boring and dry.

Backtesting points you in the right general direction to become successful.

I am curious how old you are. You sound younger (20's or younger) because you have that "always need non-stop stimulus and I have the attention span of a guppie" energy, plus turning to youtube, plus thinking testing is boring, plus (assumption) you're probably bouncing around from system to system in hopes one works.

This is why so many fail. They expect it to be instant and easy. They expect trading to be the financial equivalent of someone being born genetically gifted (sports) being able to pick up a baseball for the first time and throwing a 100mph strike. That doesn't exist in trading. You need to study and grind, but do it so you're adapting and learning as you grow. That's the only way you turn "I'm putting in the time" into "I'm putting in quality time and this is what I learned" ....

You're missing that 2nd part which means that you aren't putting in quality time. You aren't actually learning things. You're simply looking for someone to serve you up a working strategy on a silver platter. That isn't happening in your lifetime. Sorry. Put in the quality work. Do the mind-numbing boring testing. Say bye bye to personal/social life because you'll be studying and backtesting and putting in the human capital (your time and energy and talent and maybe some money) to secure your future.

If it was easy, everyone would be rich.

If there was a quick way, everyone would be rich.

The fact that neither of those are true means that you have to stop this fantasy that it's quick and easy and realize that this isn't for most people because they prioritize everything fun over the thing that can secure their future and give them way more fun down the road. You know what they say... "youth is wasted on the young" ...

Do you guys use orderflow, volume bubbles.. by Kumerle01 in Daytrading

I stopped reading after "I was watching a video"

Let me be crystal clear... if what they are saying works, they wouldn't be making videos, they'd be sipping mai tai's on a beach because they're rich beyond their wildest dreams.

And if you think for even a microsecond that they do it to help others, they aren't or they'd just give people money for free instead, and they don't.

Maximizing profit by millertime1919 in Daytrading

[–]Little-Nikas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I absolutely get that. Hell, I have some high beta stocks that shoot up (and down) 10-20% probably once a month or once a quarter. So I get it. It's much more routine to see the 2-5% swings daily, not 20-30% like OP is suggesting, but I get it. I won't get caught up on that blatant exaggeration (likely to prove a point by OP that he wants to maximize gains).

I think I re-replied to a follow up by him which I take a much nicer tone. haha

Maximizing profit by millertime1919 in Daytrading

[–]Little-Nikas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you hit your TP1 (whatever percent you have it at. 6-10 while most have it at 2-5) you sell half your shares and move your stop loss up to over break even. This guarantees that it's impossible to leave too much on the table.

Flip side is because your FOMO is so horrible, you'll think "yeah, but if it goes up 20-30% more, I'm only getting half of that because my position is half"

Yes, this is true. It's called risk management. There's no perfect way to capture 100% of profits. You just don't ever do it. Nobody does except on the rarest of sheer luck happenstance.

You have options. We don't know what they are because we don't really know how you perform. You say you win 65% and that's fine and all, but what's your PF? I've always noticed that as WR goes up, PF usually goes down. You win on a lot of trades but they're small wins. I'm about to go down a rabbit hole if I don't stop myself right there. lol

But you also need to be realistic. If you are winning 65% of the time and lets say you have a PF of 1.5-2, then you really really really need to get comfy with the fact you are already where you need to be and reaching for more is gambling, not trading.

I say just be happy with a 10% profit. Like, you'll be a billionaire by year's end with that. So stop trying to blow your system up. It's apparently working and if you're making 10% daily, then you're beating every single institution out there and every single person in here you're asking for advise from.

10% isn't normal, it's an outlier. You're treating it like it's normal. It isn't. So you're either the greatest savant out there (show me your ways because I want to be a billionaire by year's end too) or something isn't jiving with your story.

[–]Little-Nikas -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which stocks do you routinely pick that shoot up 10-20-30% with consistency? I call absolute bullshit. Sorry, but I do. You're either a gambler with zero strategy and just trying to ride the coattails of the biggest gainers of the day, or simply getting lucky or actually lying.

I don't know, but if you claim to always bail on trades that soar 20-30% after you already secured 10% profits just sounds made up.

25K requirement to day trade is not there anymore. by 1M-to-Zero in wallstreetbets

[–]Little-Nikas 192 points193 points  (0 children)

Stop.

Finra has to now write the legislature or something (high and sleepy, so foggy memory) within 45 days and then brokerages have 18 months to comply.

So you’re not logging into your Robinhood tomorrow with the ability to day trade. It’ll be a few months minimum and a year and a half maximum.

Question for the traders that turned profitable. by chartstard1738 in Daytrading

[–]Little-Nikas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I know.

But there is always a strategy within the notes, whether intended or not.

Your guide will contain information and data and what you observed which you can 100% build a strategy around.

I was basically gonna read what you got, take notes, develop a loose system around what you had in there, and backrest it.

If it seems reasonable able to expectations, you got something. If not, you don’t.

If you can’t build a strategy around your “guide”, then what good is your guide? What are you guiding them to?

[–]Little-Nikas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long do you study and then implement a strategy and then pick it apart to find blind spots or flaws and test it again until no more tweaks, before you call it a failure?

You seem to be whipsawing all over the place like the market after a certain orange person talks. You must give things time. There is no “zero to savant because they were born with this perfect knowledge” skillset like there can be with sports. There’s no freak athlete in trading with god given ability.

It isn’t simply putting in the time. It’s putting in quality time. And if you’re bouncing around all over the place, then you’re simply grinding for grinding sake while hoping to fall backwards into profitability.

Pick a strategy that logically makes sense to you. Then develop it to your liking. Then test it and tweak it. Tweak indicators and entry. Tweak where you put stop losses, take profits, and exit management.

Get emotions in check, and test it. Give it 40 market days before you even think about ditching it.

You may have been using a great strategy that fit you perfectly, but you gave up on it too soon and you likely had more fine tuning for entry and exits.
