This is why understanding critical support levels can help you hold in market weakness.

The range trading is nice, but just be aware it can price you out too. I was having nice success range trading +/-$1 on PSTH for the longest time, but then it ran without me up to $30. Luckily got back in on the big market down day a couple weeks back in the $25 range. I am not selling anymore...

SPY needs a cool down and retracement. It has run for a while and is fairly extended off the 20D moving average. ~390 will be a critical level today if it can hold. I have been fairly conservative in my swing trades, as I am cautious about an overall market rug pull.

I should also say, I trade the ranges on these. I had 1k shares of GSAH around $12 and it spiked out of nowhere to $13.80 back in January. As it was on zero news and purely a breakout, I sold most of it. Re-entered on market pull backs and sitting on 2k shares with an average of 11.58 currently...

I have pre-filled GTC-EXT orders on my SPACs to capitalize on these spikes out of nowhere and not needing to be at the keyboard. Eg: XPOA and GSAH to sell half my position if they hit $17. No GTC order for PSTH. I have high hopes.

EBON at $9.25 today. *flex*

I should have clarified. I was talking about PSTH. There was no way I was buying CCIV up here in the stratosphere on a rumor.

Why why why didn't I load up more when it dipped ~$25.50 a couple weeks back.

re: @Moglyzoke Moogleman Having some profit targets and a trade plan is absolutely essential. It has completely altered my trading (day / swings). Set some easy % based profit targets and book some actual profit instead of holding and hoping for a homerun every trade. I typically book profit...

Just an update on the TD Ameritrade shenanigans. Sounds like an absolutely massive issue if they are manually adjusting accounts! Surprised this isn't being covered by the finance networks.

I was looking for this as a short day trade, but this stock is pretty choppy to trade. I avoided. My EBON swing, however. Huge today. Up 35% since Friday. ($6.05 cost basis)

PLTR falling off a cliff. Down ~12% now

PLTR beat earnings 8c (consensus 2c). Projected FY21 rev growth >30%. Stock is down 8%.

TD Ameritrade finally got their shit together fixing my account. What a mess. People were talking on Reddit about options being assigned, etc that they had sold out of and being issued margin calls. Others with double positions (buy and sell). Doesn't exactly inspire confidence! Anyway.. today...

wrong thread

PSTH still trading above $33 premarket!

Steering this train back on the track off the FL derail... This TD Ameritrade fuckup is still in progress. Quite a lot of bitching around the internet about it. Some people actually have + balances and claim the funds were available for withdrawal. Kinda nuts. This is cutting it pretty damn...

Only took them all day to get this notification placed in the banner.

At least I am starting to see others post with the same issues.

Just got off the phone. They seem to think it is a system glitch. One of their brokers parsed my trades and all is good there. They've no idea why the account is displaying red. No transfers of cash in or out. They say it should be resolved by trading Tuesday. (Monday is a holiday) God damn...

Yea, I upload the day's trade statement into TraderVue for the same reason. I see a green trading day yesterday. Even manually line by line checked filled / executed orders yesterday and they all look good.

Kind of shitting myself while sitting on hold with TD Ameritrade. Logged in this morning and it says my entire account value is: Total account value Prev close Current value Today's net change $114,299.85 $27,255.86 -$87,043.99 (76.15%) No idea WTF is going on. Activity and Positions...

DAL just hit its 26 week high. This has been part of my long term portfolio plays. Really expecting this one to take off this summer as the reopening plays pan out.

PSTH has held relatively flat at $30, even despite the market weakness. Feel I am never going to get my $25 entry opportunity to add again.

First red day all month. Down $8.34. Feels bad.

Oh dear lord.. SNDL. 4.40 currently. If I had any clue that it would be a WSB favorite the day after I sold...

Kicking myself not loading up more of this around ~25.50 a couple weeks back (PSTH).

SNDL trying for $3. Serious FOMO.

I find this to be terrible advice. Nothing personal, but you need to cut losers and hang onto winners. If your green trades are holding up well in an overall market downturn, they should not be sold off to cover weaker positions. Sometimes averaging down can work if you are buying at some...

SPY barely dropped 0.5% *Edit* Just misread my chart. We basically pulled back to Feb 5th highs. This really is nothing but a wet fart of a pull back.

Check the SPY and QQQ. Entire market is pulling back, which was expected considering this big run we have had the last week or two.

SNDL up 100% from my entry. Shoulda woulda coulda.

Elon pumping Doge.

Not sure if you can see the amazon links for those 2 books. I dont see them on my screen. I can repost from another link if needed. (Ah, adblocker blocks the media link. I will post another.)

Absolutely. There's a couple required (in my opinion) reading materials if you want to do this full time. 1) Trading in the Zone: Master the Market with Confidence, Discipline and a Winning Attitude Hardcover – April 1, 2000 by Mark Douglas 2) Trade Mindfully: Achieve Your Optimum Trading...

TraderVue is pretty great and absolutely necessary if you are trying to perfect a strategy to day / swing trade on. It tells you exactly what works and what doesn't. There are numerous chart and detailed reports that you can see fine detail of your trades. The thing that kills me each time on...

Fuck me, I sold SNDL way too early yesterday. 2021-02-08 15:31:22 SNDL $1.245 There was my entry, sold around 1.60 yesterday. It just tapped $2 premarket this morning.

I completely agree with some flat % returns being a bit silly with the recent shenanigans going on. I have no issue with transparency, as I do think it is important to distinguish what is dumb luck and what is consistency. These are fully active swing and day trades. Never exposed by more than...

I had the potential (sold the top before covid crash on Feb 11th 2020), but played it far too conservative buying back in. I am on track to hit 100%+ this year though. I am already just shy of 20% YTD. (95 swing trading / 5% day trading)
