Stocks that have heavy pre-market volume, move up at the open, come back down but hold gains are the ones to watch all day. Just gotta be patient and let the volume come back during the dips.

@kenjiii16 that happened to me as well, it was because i turned off email alerts somewhere and when I verified my email I never got the email response from profit.ly it was odd, I also didn't get 2 of my 60 email lessons thats how I knew something was up.

Kenjiii, in order to find proper entries and exits, you need to study chart patterns, practice watching the time and sales and level 2, and your volume bar. This isn't something you will acquire overnight. This will most likely take months, as it has for the majority of us to see proper entry/exit.

It has become gradual for me. I started trading the large cap and medium cap stocks for a couple years before finding Tim and his video lessons. I look at the chart pattern, volume and look at prior days open and close. I am half way through the HTMM DVD and watched quite a few of the video lessons and still continually learning. I'm looking to keep my profits going.

Great stuff, Arick! terrific information. Please, keep it coming, sir!

Really appreciate this!

Great video!

Glad to have you back in the saddle, Arick! If you need a shoulder to lean on, I know I'm here for yuh! Hang in there!

Great stuff man!!

Right over here in Sulphur, La by you. Just my 4th month into this.

Hear, hear! I look forward to your perspective insights Arick! I really appreciate them. Thank you for all that you share!!.

I like youre attitude, Angel. Hang in there. All things in moderation. Prioritize and accept that there aren't enough hours in the day, but there is no end to your desire! :) Keep digging and good luck!

Thannks man I really appreciate your comment! (: I do accept (sometimes) lol! Good luck to you too!

AMEN, Alan! Merry Christmas to all!! Thanks, team of Tim, for all your hard work!!! Enjoy the holiday weekend!!!

I would recommend you do that first for a time until you're consistently profitable. I had to learn the hard way. Study, study, study! Then, study some more! Find mentors to follow. I follow Palmer, Arick, Tim G., Tim S., Michael C., and Scott C.

This is a race won over time, not in a sprint. Think Marathon! :)

Find a broker who has a deal with free trades and start trading it's the best way to start in my opinion. Everyone does good paper trading. I opened an account with 300 dollars and had free trades for almost a year (really lucked out with the deal they had going) and I learned more then just trading. I gained experience in the different types of trades (limit, stops, market), how I like to trade, violations ( you'll be glad you learn these with a small account) and many other valuable lessons pa

Your going to want to paper trade first off Thinkorswim free practice account.. I started with 3 grand. 2500 is a good amount to start with

Kick Ass video....Thanks I needed that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for that link, Arick. I like what ET has to say. Time for ME to hold myself accountable to ME. Love the inspiration, sir!

Tru Dat

yeah buddy! like that

@Lincoln_Hawk *that uptrends I mean

@Chongette32 "Jungle" because it's often a time of fast moving indecision between panic buyers and/or sellers as MMs try to match orders. I guess he calls it the jungle because there's not always a clear path or direction to follow in a jungle.

I agree that the initial surge out of the gate at 9:30 is chaotic. I've found that if I wait for the first pullback, it usually occurs within the first ten minutes after the open. Good time to jump into something if the pattern looks good and it fits with my plan.

@XRenegadeX I've had success before with buying at the open but it all depends on the pre-mkt price action but from now on I'll just wait for the first pull back like you said and only trade breakouts if I see an ascending triangle or a range breakout after the initial spike

AMEN, Bob!!!! Love it sir!

Stolen for my own personal gain. ;-)

Ebogey, I haven't been into this nearly as long as you have, nor am I one of Tim's millionaire students. That being said, I have come to learn first hand the lessons you describe you've learned. We're in much the same boat! Good luck sir!

Thanks for sharing. Wishing you continued success.

Awesome man, keep up the good studying/dedication!

Ed, awesome blog post! Amped for you and your continued success :))

Enjoy Bob

You lucky guy! Glad they have enough snow there for you to do so. We're still awaiting the snow action in Idaho! Have fun, Bob! :)

Thanks Bob. Safe travels

Have Fun.

Nice job, Tom! I feel your pain. After Wednesday and my first trade ($300 loss :( ), I've been not feeling it. Way to break out of the slump!

Nice job, Cory! Well done!

Thanks!

Keep doing what works...good stuff.

Cory - that's great!...keep it up

Amen to that, Bob. Could be a bear bonanza....then a bull....then a bear....all in one day! :P

if trump wins will you move to a different country? lol

Sorry - Canada has built a wall....

haha best projection for the day

Congrats man! Keep up the great work!!

Nicely done, young man!!! wooHOO!!!! :)

Stellar Snipe!

Great advice, Houston! This week is gonna be VERY interesting. :)

Good. Thank you. The pre-market is now up significantly.

good one

Such very good points !

I like those, Sylvia! thank you!

I like your thoroughness, Sylvia. Way to go on self-discovery! :)

@XRenegadeX thanks! Hope you've been trading well. :)

Paper has been good. I'm finally starting to see the patterns and can even do well paper trading. I'm starting with real this week. thanks for the well wishes! i wish you the best, too! :)

@Littlemoney16 I feel your pain, but giving up to early means you didn't tried enough. I joined challenge 1 year ago with a big dream in my head "freedom" and make money from trading. I know its frustrating seeing other people making 15-20-35% on trades. I lost myself good amount of money and sometime feel down. As lx21 said "want to be the best of the 10%". For some of us this can take longer, I will continue to study at my pace for at least 3 years and then decide if this will or will not wor

I can say this i have been doing this for almost a year, i have put in nearly 2000 hrs of study and still counting, everday i watch a lesson or youtube to refine my skills, it never stops but you have to find what your brain can best process and for me it took nearly 6 months trading before i had that moment when it clicked, just keep at and if tou need any help just ask

@Arussell125 I've been doing about 5-6 hrs of study a day too and it's slowly starting to pay off

Listen to all the above , losing money when your starting is endless. Take some time off and paper trade for a while to clear your head. I paper traded for two years prior to real money.
