Thanks for sharing this. What we aim to do is hard. I am in the exact same position as you, I tried to re-start my trading around February and have taken a fairly nasty string of losses myself. What I have been doing is looking at my past few months and trying to see everything I have done right win or lose. Hope it helps, this can be hard. Keep your head up, one day you will look back and be surprised how far you have come.

Also I re-read this post, you have a line where you say "all I am good at is cutting losses". Based on your post you displayed a couple skills: 1.isolating plays that fit your strategy 2. picking the spot to buy that fits your strengths 3. Continuing to try after taking losses

@Chevon Thanks for the kind comment made me smile in a pretty dark time of my trading career. I've taken sooo many losses in a row at this point that It's messing with my judgement on what's good and bad. Was too afraid to enter on $ADHC at .0146 and $KNOS at .10 this morning due to the massive string of losses. Just to afraid to take more losses. Best of luck to you and i'll be keeping a keen eye on your journey. We will both get this! Patience is key.

What I have been doing is isolating key mistakes and working to fix one mistake at a time. For example for me when I go long I like to look for pullbacks, but I started losing money when I got away from that. So now I am taking this whole week to focus on just one skill and its worked wonders.

Hey man, I won't tell you if you are right or wrong as there are many ways to trade stocks.. For me I think this is not an ideal trade because of the rangy candles. The 1m candles in the morning have a range of 20 to 30 cents.. even 40 cents range in some cases. That's difficult cos its too hard to size up and manage risk so I wouldn't go long unless I was totally convinced this would run multiple days. I was more short biased on this but later learned about 'endocannabinoid' research it is doin

if you find yourself chasing, you're likely struggling with fear of missing out. some things that have worked for me are to watch mark crooks videos on buying only off of proven support levels, try to avoid buying right at the open, wait for things to pop, settle, consolidate, buy at support and cut if it breaks support. try to be patient, breathe. give a good lesson to the free audio book on youtube titled "trading in the zone". size down and DON"T run out of money. good luck.

Pretty spot on topic for issues I'm fighting right now. I'm getting the hang of identifying panics, seeing past support lines where it'll bounce now just working on entries. Having a hell of a time distinguishing what a chase is. I see a stock spike but I don't wanna buy at the topic then, 15 minutes later it's up 2, or 3x as much as it was, I still never buy in at that point.

PXS was an example. Scanner picked it up at $3.00, when it got to the $4 area I thought that is a huge chase, then it went to $9.00 I guess that is just part of trading you never know forsure.

@Kody That's a great example. I think this really is just a game of mastering emotions.

It's all about risk management. If you are risking off of key technical levels and risking an amount you are comfortable losing then you shouldn't be afraid to enter a trade. Like Tim says, he trades scared so he isn't scared to trade.

You never really know if it is going to breakdown or breakout, it's strictly a guess on the price action. That's why cut loses quickly is so highly empasized, if it breaks out you sell into strength, if not you get out.

@FrankieJr With a breakout, am I looking for it to go above the resistance level and for breakdown, am I looking for it breakthrough the support level? If so, am I looking at each level for that same day or looking back 1-day+?

FrankieJr
FrankieJr Mar 05, 17 12:49 AM

Lets say we're trading a stock intraday. Intraday support is at 1.00, it's trading at 1.10 now, and resistance is at 1.20. You're looking for it to ideally break through 1.20 and push to say 1.30, where it runs out of steam and then you buy the pullback at ideally 1.20(only if 1.20 holds, this where that educated guess comes in). If it holds the 1.20 you go long with the goal of it testing the highs of 1.30 and possibly breaking out to new highs(if you're correct on the play from 1.20 and it bre

Since I have never traded a single stock ever I just bought one share to get my feet a little damp and see what happens. I trade with a company called Robinhood that doesn't do shorts yet but gives free trades so I'm only risking my 5 dollars seeing if I'm holding what I learn or need to go back a bunch.

FrankieJr
FrankieJr Feb 12, 17 10:43 PM

I would advise staying away from robinhood there executions are terrible once you really get into the actual trading.

Akpilot1_ Feb 12, 17 11:19 PM

I want to trade small tests here and there for now just so I can see if I am learning. Would you say stay with Robinhood for the little 1-5 share trades for now, and if so what should I move to later when I want to really trade?

Just a newbie but Sykes has warned against shorting earnings winners: bad risk/reward.

Please let me know when you get the answer to that question because I took a pretty nasty loss on BIOC today as well. Can't figure out the best time to enter/exit in this current market.

FrankieJr
FrankieJr Feb 10, 17 9:18 PM

I also had a bad trade on BIOC this morning. The diference between a 50 dollar loss and a 10 dollar gain is irrelevant. If you feel uncomfortable or iffy about something, you should always get out. Like Tim always says "When in doubt, get out."

Ok, so I shouldn't feel so bad that I was a bit impatient and mis-timed it. Ok, then! :) ...but it's not really "irrelevant" when one has a puny little account to begin with... lol.. I'm trying!

@FrankieJr no m nation of 100 trades a week...let's not over generalize here. This rule can and does keep you from joining some great plays; that, along with the psychological deterrent of cutting loses quickly...pdt rule is indeed awful.

I could see 3 trades every rolling 2 days, not 5.

Dux is right, PULM is an overextended momentum play with shorts getting driven over in the mess. I wouldn't be buying it now, considering chart and price action.
