Hey

Anybody else day trading momentum stocks? I search for good candidates on my esignal scanner usually from the open, 1st hour breakout, midday breakout. I look to cut my losers short and run my winners. So far it is working out ok.

The prop firm I joined does not offer any training or link up with other traders (I am trading remotely in London) so I was wondering if anybody else was doing a similar thing and wanted to hook up.

Thanks

Londonkid.

A nice, basic strategy. Works well at times, gotta be really, really, selective in the long run. Are you Series 7?

hey kid, why not both like a Blowpop lollipop?

I enter on pullbacks AND breakouts.

I used to only enter on pullbacks when I only had one ball. Now that I have two balls, I enter on pullbacks and breakouts.
