  1. What a great time in St. Louis and meetup with some Bear Bull Traders! A BIG "Thank you" to Kurt and William for making this meetup so very special! We had new traders, swing traders, and long time traders to bounce our thoughts and questions off of. And of course many thanks to Andrew who supported all of this! I would highly recommend attending a BBT Meetup as a way to find out how our other traders approach Day Trading and get to know some of the greatest members of our BBT community.

    St Louis has a lot to offer as a visitor, and I was lucky enough to get out for a little sight-seeing.

    Thanks to everyone that came out! (It was a bit chilly without my jacket the next morning.) 🙂

    Friday 3-22

    Only made one plan before the open.

    I did not wait the 3 minutes like my rule states before trading, I traded on the first candle.

    Trade 1 Shorted, then added to position, took profits on reversal.

    Trade 2 Long, took profits, then final at break even

    Trade 3 Short, could have held for more profits, but decent trade.

    Nice journal work. I like the "If/Then" thought process!

  3. Bobby,

    I'm using the snipit tool on my pc and can edit/mark with that. There's also a free app https://epic-pen.com that I have used that a lot of people here use. Not sure if it's Mac friendly though.

    Have a good one,

    Stuart

    Just saw this post. I checked the prices on the three stocks you mentioned Nov 13, and it would have been a nice win if even shares were applied to all three.  BBBY+1.31, NTLA-4.82, BECN+6.63. (according to finviz this morning) 312 bucks on a 5963 investment given 100 shares on each stock. Better than 5% as of today! (I think my math is correct). I really liked your strategy on these. Do you think you would have held the swing that long? I've held a lot longer on trades and done a lot worse. lol!

    Great post!

    Regards,

    Stuart

  5. So I have been limited to trading the hours of 2-4 pm EST in the first month of sim. I call them the "Sour Hours" based on the looks on Brian P's , and Andrew Aziz's faces when posed the question on strategies for these hours in the mentor-ship forum. lol

    I had a couple of green days this week, and on Friday I used a simple strategy of looking at the overall trend of the stock from the open, and going with that direction. It worked 2 of 3 trades that day, and I wondered if this thought process seemed valid. I traded stocks from Andrew's watch list in this way, and put a range stop on them so I could step away and not stare at it. I took profit too early, and could have been more patient with my winners, but I was good at being impatient with my losers. I don't know if anyone else in the BBT chat is in a similar situation with trading hours, but if you are, come join me as a "Sour Hour Trader"!

    Thanks to all of you at BBT!,
