AHG - Profitable Strategy for Struggling Traders

Thanks for the hard work.

If/when you add chart examples don't forget to show examples of when these setups fail. Taking stops is a big part of being profitable.

Good trading

 

Choppy day.

I'm up 1/4 NQ point out of 4 trades.
I think I'm learning to not loose my shirt, aka AHG.

Although, I've noticed that if I had given my trades a 'scalp' perspective today,
I would have locked in a couple of points here and there where I ended up getting stopped for a loss.

My thoughts are that maybe it is a good idea to think scalp on days like these.
Maybe it's a "no duh" for some of you, but it has presented itself to me today.

After my best week yet last week, the market smacks me down. This was my worst trading day ever I think. Out of 6 trades not one went even a point in my favor before reversing. Thank god I'm still on the sim! Sorry just had to vent

 

Solom, Post a chart for constructive input.

Hi,

Net Gain NQ +$191, did well today and was done by midday.

Did nicely on some AAPL trades as well.

Cheers

 

Sweet! Missed some action after 2 EST though.

using a stop directly below the last low (1 tick) worked optimal against me today.

btw: somebody who traded the nq today? I hope you had at least a 2-tick stop and did better than me..
Call it a day...

 

Tommi three of the trades you took were the same ones I took today.

 

Ya,

I didn't want to give back NQ gains from a good day and decided to just do small AAPL trades for rest of day after 12pm.
