Recently I posted that I feel like I am not taking advantage enough of this bull run

How I see others making six figures and wonder if that should be me. etc etc etc

I took a second this morning to see how my account has done over the last year because I was just curious.

And I guess I can't be too upset! Honestly, this might be bad but I am proud of how far I have come.

I used to trade futures for 3.5 years. And all that got me was a $500 payout.

In 4 months trading stocks I have done better than my entire time trading futures, and I am happy about that.

I remember praying to God every single night that I was on the right path. That one day it would just click.

By no means am I saying I have made it. There is always ways to get better and improve, and I plan to always keep my head down. Never get prideful, never get too excited.

But I do want to pat myself on the back a tiny bit on this journey. I am committed and will continue to learn!

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

I’m going to do chapter reviews of the market wizards book. I’m currently in chapter 3.

But I’ll start back at chapter 1 and write it here.

Anyone interested in this? Thanks yall.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Yea I will admit, I saw the market kind of pushing and put on too many names.

Stopped out on like 3 names today.

Good thing I have $HOOD and $HIMS working for me.

But I even told myself if I could just stick to not trading when the 10 is below the 20 on the indexes. I could save myself from losses b

Yet I broke that rule. Need to improve on that.

Time to do nothing.

[peoplewish @Peoplewish]

Time to do nothing.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Trade idea $HUT

Pulling back into weekly demand

Rejected the nested daily demand zone + 50SMA today nicely.

Possibly look for higher low setup tomorrow.

Morning shakeout, reclaim VWAP, enter, stops below PLOD or LOD

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

@RichardMoglen Thanks goat!

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Truest statement ever!! You know, the internet fooled me thinking I could be a millionaire in a year.

Let's be so real, its clickbait.

Good things take time. Clean money is HARD TO GET.

Sure you could sell drugs and become a millionaire in a couple years. But doing something GOOD, and the RIGHT WAY.... the MORAL and ETHICAL WAY takes TIME.

[Sean trades @SRxTrades]

It didn't take me 20 days to make $300,000.

It took me 2100 days to now have the skill to be able to make $400,000 in 20 trading days.

Nothing comes overnight remember that.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

@RichardMoglen @RichardMoglen would you mind sharing your settings on your RMVP indicator? Such as max pivots, merge within, etc? Thanks brother

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Sooooo true. THIS WAS ME!!

I went to West Point for 4 years.

Started trading in year 1, and ever since. My goal was to grind trading and just get by.

And since I was cracked at school in high school, I was able to get Bs in college.

I’ve never heard something so similar to me in my life. @SimonRusso__ shout out to you man 😂

B’s we’re good enough!!

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Check this out!! Supply and demand zones can be an awesome confluence!!

I was eyeing this demand zone on $SPY for a couple weeks now.

Check out this awesome reaction to this demand zone.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

$SPY may want to pull back to this daily demand zone + 50SMA before we go higher.

This would be a nice healthy pullback before higher.

If price starts pulling out of this demand zone and off the 50SMA, that will be when I start getting into new merchandise.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Not a Rollie but we getting there :)

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

@TheRonnieVShow I’m an army officer, and I trade stocks! Hope to follow your path!!

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

@jfsrev By lower low, do you mean the stock closes below the 19 and the next day breaks PLOD and closes below that day as well? Or do you mean creates a downtrend below the 10?

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Yea markets are a chop fest. I’m good bro
$QQQ

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Read through @Qullamaggie chapter a couple days ago and here is my understanding of his EP setup.

-Neglected stock; Ideally basing for a long time (months, even years) before the catalyst
-Big gap up on big volume (10 times its average daily volume)

In this screenshot, $SEZL it would have been nice to wait for the follow on setup and then get yourself involved that way.

You don't necessarily need to get in the next day, you can wait for it to set up AFTER the catalyst.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Trade idea $FRMI

-Above all SMAs
-Gapped up on earnings despite having 0
-OpenAI potential lease
-Stage 1 --> Stage 2 transition
-Institutional accumulation (which you can see from the massive volume bars recently; see the pocket pivot volume)

Will be keeping an eye on this name. However, the market DOES need to heat back up otherwise not much will work.

Again! Setups in a vacuum are not high probability trades.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Not getting much traction at all. Actually taken a few losses over the last couple days.

If I would have just listened to what I said earlier, "stop buying when the 10SMA is below the 20SMA on the indexes" then I would be in a better position.

Yet I saw nice setups, and I saw a great recovery today, just for names to fail and I close the position for small losses.

It's fine, it's just annoying realizing that I am also one of those traders that can struggle doing nothing when you see some nice setups.

That's the thing. SETUPS IN A VACUUM DONT MATTER.

You need the market! It's simple. Or if not, then you need some form of catalyst like some good news.

This is $BE and I chose to move my stop well into profit because with the market conditions right now being choppy, I do NOT want to make the same mistake I did a couple weeks ago leaving profits on the table the way I did.

In better market conditions, I would maybe allow names to work more. But right now, I am managing risk.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

So awesome hahahahah

[Fox News @FoxNews]

NEW: President Trump shares the behind-the-scenes conversations he has with First Lady Melania Trump about his signature rally dance moves and crowd-pleasing impressions.

“She says, darling, please, please don't dance. It's not presidential, I said, but the people love it!"

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

@RichardMoglen @Deepvue Absolutley brother. Names like $NBIS today had some awesome strength. Totally agree.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Brother I was just about to post the exact, same, thing.
This cannot be a good sign for the markets.

Considering the -3% day on $QQQ and weak day on $SPY as well, things imo aren't looking so hot in this moment.

10SMA is below the 20SMA on the Q's and SPY.

When this happens, you better stop buying.

In the words of @Qullamaggie - he would have saved himself from 90% of his losses in 2022 if he had just not pressed the gas when the 10SMA was below the 20SMA on the indices.

This stuck with me. I will listen, and you should too.

[Ariel Hernandez @RealSimpleAriel]

Of all the charts in this market, the one I least want to see follow through is the $DXY.

That said, the dollar isn't my biggest concern right now.

What matters most is my own traction. I haven't been able to get much new growth exposure to stick lately, and that's a far more important signal to me than whatever the dollar is doing.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

Great advice. I did this once. Then got lazy. Shame on me. I’m doing it again, thank you.

[Remz @Remzztrades]

Guys set up your watchlist into sectors and themes.

It will change the way you view things and trade. If you aren’t doing this then try it. Thank me later.

[andrewr_howard @AndrewrHoward]

@Peoplewish I am noticing that
