I’m using Twitter as my trading journal. Feel free to follow along and learn with me. I’ll post the resources I’ve found most valuable below. I’ve attached my evolving trading rules. As you can see, I am continually learning from my mistakes and feel more prepared each day.

Mini thread of my strategy.

Disclaimer: I truly don’t feel qualified to share “my strategy”. There are other better experienced traders you should listen to. But here’s what I trade: MOMENTUM, FLOW & CNBC pump 😃

Every night I manually go through 50-60 tickers and find high probability setup based on previous day/week’s action. I chose to manually go through tickers as it helps me continue to learn my frequently traded tickers, their “personality” etc.

I set alerts based on levels I identify. Pivot levels such as previous days high, low, close etc. I tend to set my alerts few $$ below where I’d actually want to enter a trade. This way I can have time to pull the chart up, find the right contract without rushing into any trade

I’ve studied candle sticks and have particular candlesticks I tend to keep an eye out for when I go through my watchlist. Inside days, morning/evening star, spinning tops, hammer, harami, marubozu are some faves. Also note stocks with high volume and strong trend day.

I’m not big on TA as I find it to be too subjective. However, certain patterns that are obvious and that I can identify without squinting too hard, I take note of- bear flags, bulls flags, range breaks, obvious trend lines. I don’t force trends and patterns that don’t exist 😂

You always hear people let your winners ride or cut your losers early. Easier said than done, right?

Well, it's a mathematical fact that implementing this will improve your trading profits

The math behind leaving runners on and cutting losers early 👇👇👇

When trading, you have a 50/50 chance of being right. No matter which side of a trade you take, the stock can either go up or down.

There are certain indicators, levels, or other ways you can increase your odds of being right >50%, but you'll never get significantly higher

So, if our trading record is going to be ~50% right and ~50% wrong, how do we make money?

You HAVE to let your winners run and cut your losers early.

If your losers and winners are the same size (eg losers are -10% and winners are 10%), then you have to win 51% of your trades to make money

Example: you take 100 trades for $100. Winners win $10, losers lose $10. To profit, you need 51 winners (+$510) and 49 losers (-$490)

HOWEVER, if you let your winners run and cut your losers early, the # of trades you have to get right decreases

Example: you take 100 trades for $100. Winners win $20, losers lose $5. To profit, you need 21 winners (+$420) and 79 losers (-$395)

Let me start by saying I do get a small kickback on every referral but I only do this for services I use, trust and love. In the following thread I’ll go over what my favorite features are and how I use them.

DARKPOOL:

DP are private exchanges for trading that are not accessible by the investing public. DP came about primarily to facilitate block trading by institutional investors who did not wish to impact the markets with their large orders and obtain worse prices for their trades.

How I use DarkPool with @Tradytics :

Levels. Levels. Levels. I use DarkPool as areas of support/resistance. Ideally I like to find stocks over (calls) or under(puts) large prints. These prints will help keep the stock moving the direction you want. These levels CAN break. See 👇🏼

website puts them on a nice visual graph. This helps get a quick snapshot of the stock price and where that level is with how big it is (in $$). The site gives you sentiment of the print and labels it 🟢 or 🔴

Tradytics DarkPool 2:
You can even scroll down on the site and find more information. It aggregates the prints into a DP levels chart, a graph showing the daily DP amounts and daily sentiment of those prints.
