I Refuse to Be a Statistic
Wed, 22 Jan 2025 13:13:25I’m stubborn sand I refuse to be a statistic, so I will figure this out. That’s probably hurting me right now though lol. How long did it take some of you to get green/figure it out? I’ve only started taking this seriously about three months ago after a failed attempt a while back. I did okay when I came back, but the last month has been brutal. Not sure what happened, I was probably just getting lucky. What was your journey like? Day trading stocks or options? How did you manage risk and max losses? For anyone day trading options and would recommend trying it, where is it best for me to learn from? TIA submitted by /u/RoutineMajestic1429 [link] [comments]

My reminder about psychology today...
Wed, 22 Jan 2025 19:25:39I had an emotional day yesterday. Wrapped up an important piece of a difficult legal battle, went to lunch to celebrate and while I was there someone smashed into my car and vanished without a trace. Got in an argument with my GF later and went to bed angry. I thought I was ok today so I traded like I usually would but my head just wasnt in the game. First red day in well over 3 months. Your psychology matters friends. Next time im feeling like this, Ill remember to sit it out. Stay healthy. Thanks for listening. submitted by /u/7r0u8l3 [link] [comments]

Day Trade/Scalping Watchlist 01/22/2025
Wed, 22 Jan 2025 11:52:54Disclaimer: The generation of this watchlist is automated using a combination of python scripts, trusted financial APIs (i.e. Finnhub, Alphavantage, etc). AI Agents, and LLMs (local purpose built and OpenAI's ChatGPT). Like any other watchlist a set of criteria was established and matching tickers were identified. Additional data (news, intraday, etc) was collected for the initial list (usually 50 - 60 tickers) which was then formatted and fed to AI to analyze and identify a top 10. There are mechanisms in place to validate data and ensure accuracy (e.g. pull and compare intraday data from 2 sources) however, errors can occur . This is just a watchlist.. Please do your own DD!

Summary of each chapter in “Think & Trade Like A Champion” 🧠📚
Tue, 21 Jan 2025 22:33:19Here’s a summary of each chapter of one of my favorite trading books. I’ve studied and have been following Minervini’s trading strategy for 7 years now. I’ve grown my portfolio by learning how he reads charts, gaps, strategy and most importantly trading psychology. Hope you enjoy. Introduction: First Steps to Thinking and Trading Like a Champion • Mark Minervini shares his journey from struggling as a trader to becoming a Market Wizard. • Trading success is about mindset, discipline, and preparation—not luck. • Treat trading like a business: build a system, hold yourself accountable, and always seek improvement. • You can’t control the market, but you can control your reaction to it. Section 1: Always Go In With a Plan • A trading plan is your roadmap to success. Without it, you’re gambling. • Your plan should include: • Clear Entry Points: Identify the exact conditions to buy. • Exit Strategy: Define profit targets and stop-loss levels before entering. • Stock Selection Criteria: Use technical patterns and strong fundamentals to choose trades. • Risk Rules: Know how much you’re willing to lose on every trade. • Plans help you stay disciplined and avoid emotional, impulsive decisions. • Failing to plan = planning to fail. Section 2: Approach Every Trade Risk-First • Risk management is the foundation of successful trading. • Before you think about potential rewards, ask yourself: “How much could I lose?” • Steps to manage risk effectively: • Set Stop-Loss Levels: Protect your capital with predefined exit points. • Position Sizing: Don’t risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade. • Respect the Downside: Avoid the temptation of oversized positions. • The first goal of trading is to preserve your capital. Section 3: Never Risk More Than You Expect to Gain • Focus on trades with favorable risk/reward ratios. Minervini’s rule: At least 3:1. • Example: If your potential loss is $1, your target gain should be $3 or more. • Use technical analysis (support/resistance levels) to define realistic targets and stops. • Avoid the trap of taking “high-risk” trades just because they seem exciting. • Consistently making trades with good risk/reward ratios is how you grow wealth. Section 4: Know the Truth About Your Trading • Be honest about your performance. No excuses, no blaming the market. • Track every trade and ask: • Did you follow your plan? • What went wrong or right? • Were your emotions driving your decisions? • Use a trading journal to log your thought process, entry/exit points, and results. • Reviewing past trades helps identify patterns of success and mistakes to fix. • Accountability leads to growth. Section 5: Compound Money, Not Mistakes • Compounding is the key to building wealth. Protect every dollar of your capital. • Big losses are devastating: A 50% loss requires a 100% gain to recover. • Focus on small, consistent gains by reducing drawdowns and avoiding reckless trades. • Minervini explains: Avoid chasing trades or making impulsive moves, as these compound mistakes and stall your growth. • The less you lose, the more you can grow. Section 6: How and When to Buy Stocks—Part 1 • Use Specific Entry Point Analysis (SEPA) to find the best times to buy. • Look for stocks with strong fundamentals: • Earnings growth of 20% or more. • Increasing sales and profit margins. • Combine this with technical patterns like: • Cup-with-handle or flat bases. • Stocks breaking out of consolidation patterns with increasing volume. • Buy at the right moment: near breakout points when risk is lowest, and reward potential is highest. Section 7: How and When to Buy Stocks—Part 2 • Advanced buying strategies focus on timing and precision: • Anticipate Breakouts: Look for tightening price action and increasing volume. • Pivot Points: Identify price levels where momentum shifts in your favor. • Avoid common traps: • Buying too early before a setup is confirmed. • Chasing stocks that are extended beyond ideal entry points. • Patience is key: Wait for setups that match your criteria. Section 8: Position Sizing for Optimal Results • Position sizing is how you control risk while maximizing rewards. • Never risk more than a predetermined percentage of your account (1-2% max). • Scale into winning trades to increase exposure as the trade works in your favor. • Avoid overleveraging, which can magnify losses and wipe out your account. • Proper sizing ensures that no single trade can ruin your portfolio. Section 9: When to Sell and Nail Down Profits • Selling is as important as buying. Have a plan for exits: • Sell for Profit: Exit when your target is hit. Don’t get greedy. • Cut Losses Quickly: Exit immediately if the stock hits your stop-loss. • Use trailing stops to lock in gains while allowing room for growth. • Don’t hold onto losers out of “hope” they’ll recover—it rarely works. • A strong selling strategy protects profits and minimizes losses. Section 10: Eight Keys to Unlocking Superperformance • Superperformance stocks share common traits: • Explosive earnings and revenue growth (50%+ is common). • High relative strength compared to the overall market. • Leadership within a strong-performing industry. • Identify these stocks early and ride the trend for big gains. • Always manage risk—superperformance stocks can be volatile. Section 11: The Champion Trader Mindset • Trading success requires mental toughness: • Overcome fear and greed to make rational decisions. • Stay disciplined even during losing streaks. • Minervini stresses lifelong learning: Review mistakes, refine your strategy, and never stop improving. • Focus on consistency and discipline over perfection. submitted by /u/PlaybookTrading [link] [comments]

Re-thinking Robinhood
Wed, 22 Jan 2025 19:54:15With the addition of index options, live data, their new desktop charting program “Legend” and their easy to use options strategy builder, I’m starting to like Robinhood. Plus futures are coming. I trade on Schwab TOS, and while it’s clearly the superior platform, it’s complex as hell; especially for tracking positions on a phone. Robinhood seems to have come a long way since its collapse with the whole GME saga. Especially for options, building multi-leg strategies has never been easier. While it won’t replace Schwab as my primary, I put $10k in an account and have been really enjoying it. I know most of us write it off, but it may be worth re-thinking that. The app has its merits. submitted by /u/MiamiTrader [link] [comments]
What do we think about those gap ups in SPY?
Wed, 22 Jan 2025 19:53:56In the screen grab below, there are 2 unfilled purple gap ups on SPY.
