While I know we arent really on the same fractal wave length, I think it would be beneficial to do another stock in real time. So, If I were to buy CHRS at 13.10 right now, could you please tell me what not to do and your price analysis.
PETM covered all 24.80/71 -> 24.75 / 24.83 -.07 cents avg I think wrong price action fell asleep as well

tradingbug, now your stop will have to be placed behind a days low or days high so the last daily low is 12.67 if you entered 13.10 Then that would be a .40 cents or so risk like 4% are you willing to take the risk? If the risk is fine, then you can enter. It would be unlikely that price will fall there, but you have to take in account what the general surroundings are doing at the moment.

End of week ideas: Close of day if down/Close to position -> 1/2 or 3/4th Because slippage is high in the morning espically if market looks to open down. Market moves -> <- doable but resistance. Commissions/Slippage/Excess costs -> <- eliminate to 0.01% / Move position 2-3 cents to cover slippage. One false move -> 1/2 position. Don't take shit from MM's Specialists. Next week we will work on eliminating all excessive costs. Come crystal clear, time after time, everytime , + . No more games, Hunting. Hunting. Hunting.
New strategies produced this week: 2 Strategy #1 in progress: 3-5 % a month using full capital. Costs: 1% 30% a year = 2.5% a month. 2x Margin = 5% a month Use of Options: X? 30% a year: 100k - $30k $200k - $60k $500k - $150k $750k - $225k $1M - $300k Slow and steady, Because Whats consistent works Work load: Medium /low Research: Low Optimistic Gains: 1baggers, 2baggers. 3baggers. Are you game enough to locate them? Takes a special skill. Skill that will be acquired. ------------------------------------------------ Strategies in testing : 2-3% gain a day. Strategy #2 : less work, more research , MOC orders. Work Load: Low Research: High Risk: High testing. ------------------------------------------- Refining of intraday strategy: only the most liquid entries will be taken, everything else will be trashed. Maybe one trade a day. 2-5% intraday up to $100k-200k usage of capital. Thats what $2k-6k a day every 2 days. One trade a day. Concentration: High Research: 0 Risk : Low (intraday 5-10 cents max)
In the mind: Theres no reason to compare the amount of money traded hands in a stock. Its not how many billions GS moved in stock a day, Its how many Ks I jacked from those shitheads each day, day after day, week after week without fail. Without risk. Without much work. We take what we can, We take when it takes no effort, We take when it doesn't effect us in anyway. thats Game.
