I am not liking this market at all. Heavy selling into every up move. Market internals look like shit, overblown fear about Omicron......

If you are a long term investor I would be ready to start dipping in but I would go slow....

That’s not playing conservatively, that’s more risky than my trading.

It’s what most people think and it’s why 90% of traders lose. A “cheap” stock is many times cheap for a reason and it’s harder for individual stocks to reverse a trend than continue a current one. That’s why you buy stocks while they trend higher and set stop losses on moves up to decrease downside risk and lock in made gains.

It’s ok if you don’t want to learn though. I’ve provided plenty of education in here and some people just prefer guessing without a plan, which is how you become a bag holder.

Pete, you are very on point in this thread.

Makes me wonder if your posts in other threads are jokes.

Nope, just trying to educate you. Trading isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about having a system where you only need to be correct 50% of the time to make money. And it surly isn’t guessing or buying stocks in a down trend.

I’m sorry you won’t listen to any advice that’s trying to help you.

The "good traders" will tell you that you only need to be right 33% of the time. I call bullshit unless you are seriously funded to be able to scale in and out of several positions.

Day trading or swing trading stocks is tough because you have several factors to consider:

Screen the stocks
How is the overall market in relation to the stock
How is the overall sector in relation to the overall market
How is the overall sector in relation to the stock
Analyst "Recommendations" that move a stock quickly one way or the other

That's why I don't do it anymore. Finding the stocks is a pain and time consuming. If I do dabble in it I try to do it with a buy-write call spread or something.

I'd rather focus on the overall market, e.g. SPY, QQQ, etc.

If you want to gamble today, right now is a good time to buy the SPY if you think we will head back up towards the close. Seeing a good buying spot.

My concern though is people selling into the close not wanting to be long over the Omicron weekend....

In your opinion, Mr. Know It All

My system works just fine for me.

I’ve made money in months where I’m 40% accurate, but not lower than that. Goal is to always have win/loss ratio be of 2:1 or greater. It’s all about managing risk.

I trade on Mark Minervini principles. I pay for a screener that I can manipulate to look for stocks that meet certain rules. I can scan through a list of 700 stocks in about 30 minutes looking for certain patterns.

Best book I’ve ever read.

No way I’m holding over the weekend given current conditions.

Since we are on the topic of books, if you have not ever looked into technical analysis and want to learn how to "read the charts" this is the Bible. I had the fist edition called Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets back in the early 90's but the concepts were for stocks as well. Murphy has since been noted as one of the best in the technical analysis arena.

I would read this well before you start reading any other books on trading that involve charts.

I own that one too.

Great read and very dense. Definitely provides the introduction needed for technical analysis before you learn your own trading style.
