Hi Guys
No posts for a while so here is my evening trade for today
A bit late in the day but good momo at WN at after pullback of first breakout.
Came close to being stopped out but after my lesson on MCO earlier today (exited trade for a small loss just as it turned and went on a $3 run) held firm.
All out when momo died just before 40c level and a nasty shooting star formed on 1 min.

I am thinking of hedging 850 AAPL long against 710 SLB short tomorrow if apple stays in postive 30 min into the day ( same for SLB but in negative )
AAPL closed @ 90.50 Long
SLB closed 75.05 short
Time target = 3 days
stop loss target net = 1$
Target net = + $3
If the above conditions satisfy I will be taking the postion,,,
A divergent hedge of an olil stock against tech ,,, Hmmm just hope isreal does not bomb iran 2morrow lol
Any views ?

LOL, it is now part of my vocabulary, thanks to you. Be grateful for what Mr Market gives you, don't expect anything, but when he does offer it on a plate, then it is there for the taking.
Have some positive reinforcement, not the high five type, but take those profits out of the account and treat the family. Take a holiday. Instills why you are doing this job and makes the money real and feet firmly on the ground.
All the best Iraj.

Today has been very flat trading, but there are always hot stocks moving on momentum and setting up certain other patterns as well.
With the right choice of stock, right entry, position management, and exit - and also the appropriate number of shares for the stock, how it behaves and level 2, these situations are there to make money day after day.
Here's an example from this afternoon.
I went long on the X hairs and exited at the time of the screen shot for 75c on the actual fills.
This stock never moved a single cent into loss and I knew the probability of loss was extremely low because I was able to read level 2 and the support and buying pressure.

So, what happened after the exit at the time of the screenshot in the last post?
The exit was because level 2 and T&S told me the move was probably over.
The chart below was taken a bit later to show how my exit was at the precise top of the move.
I am currently training my brother to trade and the broker screen shot you can see was "his" 800 shares.
If it had been me trading for myself, the position size would have been higher as this was a bit of a no brainer trade - the exact sort you need to target and wait for - no mad rush, just wait for the right one and shoot.
+$600 in eight minutes with a "risk" of just two cents - and that "risk" had a very low probability.
