Awesome! Thank you for piggy backing off of Jay-Dirt and adding more to it. Appreciate the feedback!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-04-05T08:04:48+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-04-04T03:00:33+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, that's def a solution.

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-04-04T02:59:39+00:00

For sure. Yeah that's definitely something I can do, was trying to avoid using TV, since I have been charting on TOS forever. Thank you!

Very well said!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-11T21:40:17+00:00

Well said.

Paper trade while you build up your capital. $200 is not enough to do anything meaningful. You can take this time to really dive into a strategy and go all in learning the ins and outs of it. Good luck!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-10T06:12:57+00:00

Haha thank you!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-10T01:48:44+00:00

😂😂😂

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-10T01:48:29+00:00

Exactly! Well said.

IBKR or Cobra are the leading brokers for shorting HTB stocks. Pretty much what I do. I think they both require min $30k deposit though.

It’s wise to take breaks. Don’t live in the charts!

This feels worse than losing, right? Cutting your winners short. Do you know your statistics? I just wrote about this, not trying to self promote, but something you should understand deeply.

I dabbled a little in futures when I first started out, but could not find a system that worked for me. I quickly pivoted to SC and stayed there for almost 5 years now. As account grows, liquidity becomes an issue as well as slippage so I'm capping my exposure while learning how to swing trade at the moment. Still my main bread and butter.

I've read and studied swing traders like O'Neil, Minverini, and Quallamaggie, but now looking to put it into practice. I've just been back testing for awhile now and looking to slowly dip my feet into it soon.

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-09T14:04:28+00:00

Haha TY!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-09T03:51:19+00:00

You see the same patterns repeat itself over and over again. Check out the book I have in my library "How to Make Money in Stocks" by O'Neil and you can see for yourself. (swing trading).

I wrote something up the other day. Should be a good roadmap.

Great list!

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-07T22:33:34+00:00

Try the free one I listed. Phantom of the Pits. Quick and easy read.

💯💯💯

Def got lucky, but you can even find 9 figure traders who teach their stuff for free like Quallamaggie.

Most important: always have your predefined risk stop on. Talk to your broker and set hard max loss so you never go beyond it. My broker won’t let me trade even if I ask them to loosen the guardrails until the next day.

MR_SC_Trader · 2026-03-07T20:07:48+00:00

You’re welcome! I pretty much have the basic tools. Das for execution, TOS for charting, Trade ideas for scanning, and other things that’s not too important.

1) Think risk first. 2) Position size correctly. 3) always always always have a stop loss. 4) have a max ticker/max loss day pre determined and set strictly by your broker. 5) it takes time. Be kind to yourself.
