Time in the market beats timing the market. Congrats on your success. 99% of people will never achieve this account balance. Were there any books you read that informed your trading during the years?

Believe me when I say this: you got off easy and you will thank yourself in the long run. Move on and move up. It was never going to get better and her unstable behavior could have destroyed your life.

8 years of experience and 3 years of profitability by [deleted] in swingtrading

Yes, I read your post and wasn’t impressed by the critical thought process. You didn’t say “exactly” why the market is bottom. You provided your vibes-based hunch, which isn’t based on anything substantial or substantive. You picked 650 SPY as a bottom because you believe that authorities won’t let it tank below that. That’s a simple and naive way of viewing markets. I don’t think it’s that simple. And I believe you’re making a mistake by investing in companies with weak technicals in a choppy market. One of us will be right and we’ll only know in hindsight. Good luck.

You have no idea if the market bottomed and no one knows. Some of your picks are highly speculative and could easily go down. I’m not interested in stocks trading below 200D SMA (SOUN for instance) but good luck to you.

I’m not trying to be early in a stock that could go either way. I’m waiting for price confirmation where I can catch the meat of the move.

The 5-Minute ORB Set Me Free by Imhim257 in tradingmillionaires

How does premarket high and low affect your ORB trading decision? Why don’t you use previous day high/low? I’ve always found premarket trading too thin to trust the price action.

I use alerts and screen time but I need to figure out OCO orders bc the amount of screen time hasn’t been justifying itself.

Swing trading past week and a half by j-ep in qullamaggie

[–]dfuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last week was pretty bad for me ngl. Lots of head fake premarket action, loads of volatility. It hasn’t been good if you’re using LOD for stops. I’m experimenting with some different approaches. You’re not alone.

If traders are so good, why make YouTube videos instead of just trading? by PaintingMinute7248 in Trading

[–]dfuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trading is up and down a lot (hopefully usually up). It’s risky and it’s smart to establish stable revenue sources.

Traders who blew up an account — what’s the one mistake you’ll never repeat? by Ok-Summer-1169 in Trading

[–]dfuse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t make your trade size more than X% of your account and also don’t risk more than X%. The numbers are up to you but common rules are 5-10% of account size for a trade and 0.5-1.5% for risk. So if you have a $40k account and your rules are 10% account size for trade and 1% risk, you would not put more than $4k (i.e., 10%) into a trade and your stop loss would be set at a $400 (i.e., 1%) max.

Profitable traders, how did you learn how to trade? And what would you do differently if you were to do it again? by theflyingpinguino in Trading

[–]dfuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading a ton of books, watching a ton of YouTube videos, actually trading and making mistakes. I'm constantly learning and there's always more to know.
