    Perhaps because you didn't put a tight hard SL on your trades like him?

  3. Hmmm. Were you trading low float stocks up 20% to 2000% up on massive volume between 930 EST and 1130 EST? That's what I am doing. Lots of traders do it. But few are profitable either because they don't control fomo or they don't have the skill set with with identifying bull flags, abcd patterns, watching tick/trin, looking for elephants sitting on the ask who won't let the price move above a certain level, using time&sales, running the right scans, watching out for HALTS, and manually cutting a loser before it hits the 20 cent stop loss, or flattening a position with a small profit because you can sense it's about to drop hard and give you a loss based on all those criteria I just mentioned. It takes a lot of experience trading (years & more than 10,000 to 100,000 trades to be profitable), but it can be done.

    Excellent post, thank you.

    I am over the hill but not stubborn or against changes, just need to do my homework and decide if it is right for me.

    Take care.

    Not to worry @SimpleMeLike because I don't trade futures, ES or NQ or what not.

    I sim day trade names, trade real $ on options, it is unlikely we are competitors.

    Also, read my posts carefully, did I ever ask you for help?

    No, you offered your "staring at the screen, click, click and click" to everyone on ET. :finger:

    Peace. Let's leave it and move on.

    Good luck.

    Yet you have no journal, so you are fake. Just words and fancy graphics.

    That is very disappointing response.
