the battle between your present and future self

worth watching

when trading intraday


I suggest using smaller initial stops and look for trades with Risk Rewards that are at 2:1 or higher. I personally do not take trades with initial stop losses larger than three S&P points and I never take a trade with a Risk Reward below 2:1 _ I am much more comfortable in the 3 or 4:1 area when intraday trading. I don't find these trades that difficult to find once you get used to looking for them and if I have to wait to find a trade that fits my acceptable profile, that doesn't bother me at all. I just want to be consistently profitable and it costs me nothing to wait for an acceptable trade. Patience and discipline are prerequisites for trading success.

markets now


Up auction continues. S&Ps traded above it's eight day range and closed above it, which suggests strength, but as we know it's not the breakout but the follow through that matters.

AN IPO WORTH CHECKING OUT
