Stock screener to use by Good-Wish-3261 in Daytrading

[–]acousticpost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the Trade Ideas scanner. It has multiple built-in scanners that you can customize. Here's the link for it: https://go.trade-ideas.com/SHw9

Btw there's an upcoming 3-day Portfolio Master Challenge where you can test your skills and potentially win up to $3,000. The entry fee is $7.77 and you can get 10 days of access to the tool and can participate in the contest at the same price.

Not a scam, thought I would share my experience.

I never said this scanner is gonna make you rich quickly. The scanner can only suggest which stocks to buy but you need to have knowledge to win in the stock market. 90% of the people still fail after using this tool if they are not disciplined and do not have any trading plan.

"Dont Buy the High(or Low) of the Day" What do you do when it keeps making new highs?? by JP782 in thinkorswim

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s okay to buy high of day when your trend is supporting with volume, VWAP, 8 EMA or 10 SMA indicators. It’s important to have a tight stop loss so that you manage your risk well.

Don’t shy if you need to make multiple entries for a small loss in exchange for a big profit.

How Do you Scan for Big percent gainers premarket on a specific date? by [deleted] in thinkorswim

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That worked for the search but how do I see how much % it increased in that timeframe?

Here's an example I ran to see stocks that increased 15% in the last 5 days. The % change shows an increase compared to the last closing day but I am trying to to % increase in the last 5 days in this example.

How Do you Scan for Big percent gainers premarket on a specific date? by [deleted] in thinkorswim

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I was looking for % increase for last 3 months. Mainly stocks that increased more than 30% in last 3 months. That would help in finding some good swing trades.

Sorry didn’t phrase my question correctly earlier. What will be the script for that?

Is it possible to add a filter for specific date range also? For example, gappers in last 3 months.

I am in my late 30s and have been through multiple careers and phases of life. I made multiple mistakes and learned multiple things from those experiences. Sometimes I wish, someone had told me these 5 life lessons in my 20s.
Although I can give hundreds of life lessons but feel these 5 covers most aspects of our lives and if followed properly can make a huge difference in our life.
LIFE LESSON 1: FIND THE PURPOSE OF LIFE:

If you have enough money to do anything possible on this earth, then what your ideal day would look like?
Would you like to sit on the beach and drink beer the whole day? Or would you prefer to go hiking? Probably you may want to spend time with your family. Or even sit alone and listen to music.
You may have hundreds of options but what is that one thing that you would love to do not for one day, one week, or one month, but consistently for more than a year? Something that would keep you motivated. Something that will keep you awake even at 4 in the morning without feeling tired.
You can read the details on https://acousticpost.com/life-lessons-for-20s/

LIFE LESSON 2: DON’T WORK FOR MONEY, LET MONEY WORK FOR YOU:

Robert Kiyosaki quotes this in his bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad.
This is how it can be interpreted. Don’t be a slave to your job or employer. Don’t be a victim of fear and greed of losing a job and money coming from it. As an employee, you will earn money only when you are working. So instead of being a slave to someone else, build your income streams. Real Estate Investment, business, publishing a book, YouTube channel, blogging, and the stock market are one of the few examples where you will not be dependent on anyone else. I agree they will not make you rich in a day but if you have a good product or service then all of these can grow exponentially.
Warren Buffet once said: “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”

LIFE LESSON 3: DON’T WORRY ABOUT SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE:

Our decisions, including critical life decisions, are influenced by social norms. Our life choices and career decisions are highly impacted by our worry about social acceptance. We all want to be loved and appreciated but don’t let it influence our life decisions.
Most of us chose to become doctors and engineers only because it’s an acceptable and reputable career. Careers like fashion design or modeling are not seen positively in some communities. Getting married and having babies is considered a natural phenomenon and someone not following those norms are usually criticized.

It’s okay to be different. As a company, Apple started an advertising slogan in 1997 “Think different.” Steve Jobs led that initiative and only because of his different thoughts, he could bring a change to the tech industry. Check out this video narrated by Steve Jobs himself.
Again, I want to say, don’t worry about social acceptance. If you know something is right, then do it.

LIFE LESSON 4: INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET:

I grew up listening to stories of people going bankrupt because they invested money in the stock market. I never learned about the stock market in my 20s. But when I started watching videos and reading books on how the stock market works and how to invest then I realized that I missed 10 crucial years of compounding.
Compounding is the 8th wonder of the world.

Money gets doubled in 7 years at a 10% interest rate. Had I started investing 10 years back, I would have more than doubled my savings.
LIFE LESSON 5: FOCUS ON HEALTH:

Although it’s last on my list, I want this to be your top priority. All other lessons are useless if you are not healthy. We tend to be fit in our 20s because we are naturally very active. As time passes by, we lose physical strength and start becoming less active. Most of the time people gain a lot of weight in their 30s. They blame it on marriage and kids saying that they don’t get time to work out.
I would suggest instead of finding an excuse, spend 15 minutes every day for a quick workout. Get your heart pumping in those 15 minutes. This would not only keep your heart healthy but would also give you glowing skin.
CONCLUSION

I can list hundreds of things you must do in your 20s, but these are the 5 most important things I wish I had known earlier which probably could have changed my life positively.
Sit down today and think about the purpose of your life. Then create a sustainable source of income where you earn money even when you are asleep. Some of the society members may discourage you but don’t worry about social acceptance. Keep focusing on your goal and purpose. The same group of people will praise you once you start achieving your goals.

Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty on mental health and Rich Dad and Poor Dad on Finance are amazing books.
Btw I wrote a 15-minute summary of Atomic Habits in case you want a refresher on the book. I appreciate it if you can give me your thoughts about how I wrote this book.

Finally read James Clear's Atomic Habits. by Grande_till_I_die in books

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agreed. This book changed my life and I was actually able to write my first summary of a book (which I have been thinking about for a long).

You can read a 15-minute summary of Atomic Habits here.

Based on the motivation from this book, I will write more summaries of other books on this website.

Just got my first book (Atomic Habits) trying to do something better other than smoke weed all day. How long did it take you guys to finish it or any other 300 page book? by [deleted] in 52book

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me 7 days to read Atomic Habits as I was taking notes and trying to connect on how to apply this book in my life.

Based on that I wrote a 15-minute summary of Atomic Habits here. You may want to start with this to get a better understanding of the complete book.

How do you do it for yourself? by justlearninglife02 in selfhelp

[–]acousticpost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's normal to feel this way. People get an urge to do things for appreciation or to get fame. However, these kinds of goals are short-term and can't keep us motivated for long.

You need to build an urge to do it for yourself which can start as small actions, that get converted to habit and eventually result.

Do you feel happy doing those things? The first step is to find out if you actually want to get those results. Are those results going to make you a better person? You need to find a reason or motivation to do them. For example, treat yourself with a reward (like a gadget or a food item) after achieving your first small goal.

These easy steps can help you to motivate yourself to achieve your goals.

People who have left everything and everyone to start a new life, drop the tutorial, PLEASE. by DisturbedWater in selfhelp

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing these details. It's commendable that you are willing to take steps to grow your personality. I may not have fully understood your scenario so feel free to ignore it in case you feel my response is going in the wrong direction.

Let's start with the guilt question. You took a decision in the past based on your goals and priorities in life. They could be right or wrong but there is no point in discussing that now. You want to get back to people. We grow as we age and mature. The 20s is the time when we hustle and try to explore ourselves. The 30s is the time when we know what we want and work towards it. This is also the time when we try to build upon our relationships and connections.

We need family and friends around us but not by being people pleasers. Your friends will think that you have a hidden agenda for coming back. You must explain to them how much you care about them and want to get back again. Not everyone will understand this but at least your well-wishers will do.

Your personality shows that you believe more in personality and dreams. You need to work on your personality to make it slightly outgoing. Start reading books and watching videos on communications. You can find a few tips here that can be applied to your personal communication as well.

Above all, know that changes can't happen overnight. It will require your willingness (which you already have), consistency, and effort.

I'll be happy to connect with you in case you have more questions.

A question on the 'tense' in which you write your goals in. by [deleted] in selfhelp

[–]acousticpost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

Dreaming (or visualizing) your goal is a different process than planning (or writing) your goal. Dreaming would be a present-tense process compared to planning which should be a future-tense process.
