I don't disagree that flexibility is important. I would develope a process for taking profits. An if/then scenario that you can follow and review. IE Did I follow my plan? It helps to remove emotion.
%% I see your point, its benchmark QQQ\TQQQ is still below 200dma. BUT qqq benchmark/ is actually up 52 weeks uptrend. I havent bought TQQQ today even though they dont call it buy monday for nothing. Cut a loss on SPXS today , so the longs on SPY,SSO ......... maybe making money. Some traders use so much leverage they never trade QQQ or related ; but plenty of elephants so to speak/ do QQQ, [qqq=different trend from SPY,sso......] Good place to buy NVDA / FRi; havent checked it today\/ to much to do today
you can call it trader intuition or my 6th sense. it is from my experience speaking to other trader or investor wannabe be. they all seems to only trade fang companies and nothing else: nvda, amzn, tsla, fb, aapl, msft etc.
Thats a pretty broad assumption. I think it might be true of some really really noob traders, kids who are looking to make a quick buck. Less true for serious guys just starting out on the journey who are educating themselves with an open mind. (LIKE ME :-}
all i'm saying is all these serious guys like yourself that are starting out...trade fang companies cause it seems safe to trade due most funds out there also trading them. that's fine. nothing wrongs with that. but that's just my observation.
%% OVER 300 ETFs+ more mutual funds buying it, more so than sells; institutional quality stock/ EPS of 97.Fidelity sold some................................................. Good trender I always figured a single stock risk of 50% gaps against me \never had that happen that bad but have seen it on the charts.
