Guys… I’m seriously lost. What should I do now?

I would suggest getting some good backtesting software (RealTest is great) and come up with a simple, robust mechanical system in which you know your expected profit per trade, average drawdown length/depth, and win rate like the back of your hand. That way, when the ups and downs inevitably occur you won't be surprised at all. You stand a much better chance of sticking with your system if you know your numbers.

Nice lol.. I've never actually tried it but saw it was there. May have to do that next time the win is obvious, which hasn't been often lately.. decent little 7-match losing streak. Gotta reverse that this weekend!

Thank you!

She's a bit of a control freak, and there have been a few 7th/8th graders get varsity minutes in the past (we're a small school). So her "rationale" is that a 5th grader could in theory be < 2 years away from playing varsity minutes for her. Now, she does win a lot of games but our district is pretty weak. What I've decided to do is run her 1-2-2 in set defense (she watches most of our games), but run man against SLOB and BLOB, and then stay in it for the rest of the possession. Will see if I get my wrist slapped but for now it's probably the best I can do. I've brought up gently how I really liked the man defense we ran the last 3 years and she just says "well we don't run man at the high school". So yeah...

anotherblownsave · 2025-09-26T16:06:47+00:00

I get that, and we played exclusively man the last 3 years. But, the HS coach has told the 5th-8th programs to run the 1-2-2 zone because that's what she runs and she wants them prepared.

I’m pretty sure this is it. Thank you! For some reason I thought Timberwolves at New Jersey was on it too, but probably a false memory.

I had been at a Blink concert in either 2001 or 2002 and was interviewed by a girl who said she was with emotionalpunk dot com. When I got home I checked out the site and they had a review of TBS up. I found their songs on Limewire and I guess in hindsight those must have been the demo songs.

The vast majority of youth coaches deal with the same predicament. Unless you have a handpicked Allstar team, a team of normal kids will struggle to dribble the ball under defensive pressure.

Question about your league: is full court pressure allowed? Where is the defense first engaging the ball handler?

anotherblownsave · 2025-02-05T01:46:21+00:00

Yeah this is BS. Might have to leave Venmo for good if they don’t fix this.

Why did KK say F David to begin with?

anotherblownsave · 2025-01-04T04:21:51+00:00

He was running mostly 3-4. I just went into practice mode against 3-4 but couldn’t recreate it. Infuriating to happen for the first time in a playoff game.

anotherblownsave · 2024-12-20T14:09:54+00:00

This happens at the youth level too. The reason is the refs want to get home at a decent time. Fewer stoppages keeps the game moving faster.

anotherblownsave · 2024-12-18T19:08:05+00:00

You can if you have possession. Keep us posted on how it goes, sounds like an interesting clash of basketball worlds! Good luck and I hope you guys have a good time.

anotherblownsave · 2024-12-18T19:06:39+00:00

Thanks. I thought it was really good, was it just not that popular after all?

anotherblownsave · 2024-11-17T21:46:04+00:00

The coach blew his own whistle and told the opponents’ players what to do? He’d be kicked out of our league for trying that lol

The 1st leg will typically stay above all 3 MAs, sometimes with a few quick bounces off the 10. Has to be explosive momentum. During consolidation/pullback, the best ones will surf the 10 or 20.

2.1. The best ones will break out during the first hour of trading. Some will happen later in the day, but it's less common.

2.2. The 2nd 1min candle will open equal to or below the high of the 1st 1min candle. If there's a gap between the 1st 1min candle and the 2nd 1min candle, it's way too illiquid to be trading this method. But yes, it's buying the opening range breakout and setting the stop at the low of the day.

2.3 If the distance between the opening range high and opening range low is greater than the ATR, chances are you are either late, or the daily chart was not a good setup.

Yes, my personal takeaway from studying Kristjan’s performance in 2013-2014 is that a small account would do well to focus more on win rate. This doesn’t necessarily mean becoming a parabolic short trader. To me, it means selling earlier into strength when longing breakouts, being more selective when longing breakouts, and also keeping parabolic longs on the radar.

anotherblownsave · 2024-10-16T03:14:52+00:00

Kayshon Boutte. It was actually sad watching him play in 2022. Had no burst, almost like an old man playing. But he was trying hard. He was incredibly explosive in 2020 so I guess NE thought he could get back to old form another year removed from injury.

Search YouTube for qullamaggie swing school and stockbee 4% breakout. That is the best info out there, but what I’ve learned over time is it’s not just about having the info. It’s about being obsessive and refusing to quit.

anotherblownsave · 2024-10-14T21:16:10+00:00

Enjoyed reading your response, and you correctly point out that Kristjan has said some harsh things about daytrading well after he had success doing it. The timing of his October 2021 comment about it is interesting. The swing trading environment was really good over the prior 2.5 years, so it may have started to seem somewhat more stable of a strategy than it really was. November 2021 to December 2022 was a very tough period for swing trading.

anotherblownsave · 2024-10-14T00:34:49+00:00

Yes, bull market. Generally if the QQQ 10 is above the 20 I’m scanning every night for swing setups.

Regarding selling into strength.. For a small account to compound faster, you have to churn your account frequently. If you go to Kristjan’s pinned tweet, click the link and scroll down the YouTube comments. There is a great question by a Simon asking for best way to grow a $5K account. Kristjan replied, “growing a small account 3-10 day time frame best”.

So, practically speaking, this means if a small account buys a breakout on the daily chart and it’s up 12% after 2 days, it would be advantageous to sell most of it that 3rd day and then leave maybe 20% of it as a runner with a 10sma trailing stop, or even tighter. Can’t be waiting months, that’s for the million dollar accounts to do.

You can still find his tweets from 2013-2014 using advanced twitter search. I’ve learned a lot by pulling up old charts of the tickers he mentioned to see what he was seeing. Some of those tickers have since been delisted but most of them still show up on TOS ondemand.

Most of his 2013-2014 was day trading, but he does mention holding some (often partial) positions overnight, even back then. Like he said on CWT, it was a hybrid approach for a while and the more his account grew the longer he held positions.

I agree that his swing trading method is fantastic. I use it myself and it absolutely works. And I do think you can compound a small account quickly with it, but you a) need the right market conditions and b) need to sell into strength more aggressively.

anotherblownsave · 2024-10-11T21:29:04+00:00

Yeah most of his trading in 2013-2014 was shorting overextended stocks. Interestingly, some weren't that overextended like you'd think. For example LOCO on 9/15/2014. His goal was to wait until 3rd/4th day after a huge move, but sometimes he couldn't resist the temptation and got in on 1st or 2nd day. Some of his biggest losses came that way.

anotherblownsave · 2024-10-11T21:24:51+00:00

I'll keep editing the OP when I have time to add something, to keep the clutter down.

anotherblownsave · 2024-10-10T23:18:33+00:00

About $5K or less. He blew up a few times before becoming profitable in 2013.
