    Again huge difference between Canadian oil stocks and American, hard to determine whether you double down on the Canadian stocks against the lows or just dump them and go all in on American, but I really doubt that Trump will Tariff oil and force america to buy more from the Saudi's.

    Trying to analyze whats left of a broken portfolio, I always want to hold on to a piece of whats left never want to fully commit to selling particularly if something has been good to me.

    I remember everyone of these trades. AMZN punked me i originally sold like 190 before earnings then just said fuck it re enter for 5k just to watch it. Still think out of all the Mag 7 AMZN is the one that holds up.

    SOBO was free shares on a spinoff of TCP which I no longer own, WCP Been a buyer since 6 dollars a share.

    ZWU has caused me nightmares over the years, there has been points where i have had over 40k shares of it because it was a Utility ETF yielindg over 10%........

    I just move shit over once i sell and try to track it, my biggest whiff was selling FI fiserve at 199.99, I love that company and made alot on it on the way up but I somewhat panicked.

    Now here is where the real money is, the oil side of the portfolio, only names that are red are Canadian, this is a shitty position, figuring out whether to add more on the unecessary sell off or just dump them al together, and keep going long America!! (Insert eagle here) :)


    These are the names im starting the year with I will narrow this down to a few names at some point figure out where to add and where to sell. You only need to nail a couple to have a big year.

    Ill spend the next year studying these charts, 90% will yield zero, and 1% will pay me a ton, thats the life of a trader.......

    I know how taxing this job is, take a day off once in a while and enjoy it.

  7. It is interesting to see that pros use the same shitty IBKR TWS charts that we are all forced to use.
    I thought retailers were punished with those charts because of the poor account balance, and pros use other chart tools.

    Have you tried the "Advanced Chart"? It is a TradingView iframe. When I saw that they added that on TWS, I almost cried with happiness.

    Thank you for showing your trades. :strong:

    Advanced trading view does not allow a functional L2 or TAS so your pretty much effed with them...... I tried so hard to make it work but there is no way a trader can do it with their sofwtare. They are broken, software is broken so you are stuck with old timer shit.

    The ways that IB fucks me on a daily basis is a thread in and of itself, lol

    What do you use as your scanner? The Mosaic scanner is a joke, i have fought with that thing so many time just to do simple stuff and it always resets itself
