Financed $DOCN & $SOLS - trying to add risk slowly here and tighten risk simultaneously

79% invested

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Bumping $TSLA position here with a stop at $413. Showing nice RS

No other traded for me today, as it looks like portfolio pressure is coming

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

@iDanielTran Today’s looking potentially painful… less is more

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Probably won’t but the degenerate side of me wants to try $INTC

@iDanielTran Earliest possible entry…. Tight risk

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Hear me out….. $AMZN

Everyone got knocked out at the new low today…. Could add at today’s high and do LOD stop….

Looking at 2.6% risk… will do smaller size cause it’s a crappy pivot. But the under cut liquidating stops seems like a good place to run to cause pain

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

One of the best things another trader posted — expect the outcome that will cause the most pain. - Think it was @801010athlete

Sounds counterintuitive, but it reframed everything. Expect the unexpected. Expect the inverse of what makes sense.

Ever since, market moves feel less random and a lot less painful

Prime example… $AMZN undercutting the previous low. Probably stopping a lot of recent buyers on 5/27. It would be “painful” if $AMZN ran from here. Meaning, I would not be shocked if it did and can be a low risk entry

Gonna try it at 2.4% risk and whether it does or not is besides the point

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

@iDanielTran Definitely did a number of people dirty Friday…. So if it did just run from here, it would leave a number of people behind

I just couldn’t quite find the entry with the appropriate stop that fit my style. Was looking over Monday’s high with a stop of today’s low and was 10ish%

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Trying way too hard on the lines with my $TSLA weekly chart…. Hoping this is something that can just go and I sit with for years to come

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

$LITE $AEHR $GLW $VIAV making it hard to get onboard… and stay onboard….

Have tried them previously to get knocked out…

It is possible to lose money on the years top performers haha

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

$TSLA - will add to my existing position over yesterday’s high…. Hope to continue to build this out and be able to add and reduce

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

@amphtrading See if we can’t get confirmation tomorrow $SOLS

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Wonder if $SOLS ever gets going….

I own it, looks buyable tomorrow, not super exciting as it hasn’t done a whole lot

A harsh reality
Are you out to turn a little into a lot in a hurry?
Look folks, there has been tons of research done on the success rate of retail traders. By exchanges, regulatory agencies, brokerage houses, trading platforms, academic researchers and the like.
The numbers are in and you are a fool to begin with if you think your are an outlier -- although all retail traders think they are outliers (and they usually are on the left side of the bell curve distribution).
Expectations and eagerness to trade for the sake of money are inversely correlated with success. Sorry, but true (of course except for in your dream world).
You want to turn $50k into $5 million in five years? Well, go for it if you that is your dream. But know that professional career traders in zero-sum markets (like futures, day trading anything and crypto) plead with you to trade their asset class. Please, I beg you to trade futures (my asset class).
Fresh meat is always welcomed.
Maybe you are among the 2 in 1,000 that can with a few years of experience achieve back-to-back-to back-100% years. I do not want to do anything to prevent your effort. I wish you well. In 50 years I've witnessed many try.
Or, do you have realistic profit expectations and want to become excellent in some niche of market speculation?
Then you have a chance.
But your chance depends on your ability to protect your capital and avoid big losses.
Here is the reality folks -- the real world where 99% of us live.
Pick your asset class. Now have adequate capital (the amt is disputable but I use the figure of $50k). Next know that no matter what you do it will take three to five years to even pick up the scent of where your excellence might be hiding.
Your challenge will be to develop some scheme or system or approach that is repeatable. Every successful trader has a different method. No exceptions. You cannot copy anyone. There are reasons why I won't go into.
You might have to try a few different approaches to find what methods are suitable to you.
But here is the HUGE challenge you face.
You will have to keep your capital intact (relatively speaking) or have deep pockets to get through the three to five years of the steep learning curve.
You will also need to avoid the fast talkers who want you to believe they have your answers.
Following are appeals I received via email in just the past week from "reputable" trading services (these are verbatim):

-$10,000 into $30,417. 14 out of 20 trades doubled
-that's a 1,004% return in 6 days, turning a $605 bet into $6,684
-1004% on UMAC
- +100% on BBAI in a day
-See how stock flips could have made $92,000 in one year!
-Soured 1,025% in just six months
-convinced this could be this year's next 1,000%

You fall for these lines, you are done for. Another reality is that not everyone is made for crazy success in trading. Most people would be better off living frugally and putting as much money as they can into a 50% SPY, 30% fixed income, 10% energy and 10% precious metals portfolio and let it work over time. Then pursue a day job that excites you.

So, don't be conned by the circus acts that promise you the moon. Trading is hard work. Tedious. Boring often. Stressful.

My standard recommendation to most young people is to get an education in a field that you like and where jobs are available. Like welding. Or supply chain management. Or engineering.

98% of you young folks will thank me for this advice someday.

@ConnorJBates_ $VGT

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Sold the rest of my $NBIS up 6% in pre-market…. Will probably regret but was up 100% in a few weeks on the remaining shares

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Is this the return of $AMC

[MrBeast @MrBeast]

@unusual_whales IMO this is just the beginning. YouTubers have a deep understanding of what people want to watch and as barriers continue to get broken down for these amazing storytellers, they’re just gonna keep dominating. Pandora’s box has been opened

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

Weekly and daily lining up and might be a theme $REMX

@NickSchmidt might be onto something with weeklies

[Connor Bates @ConnorJBates_]

Copper is another fresh theme looking to emerge from strong multi month patterns.

$COPX $FCX $SCCO $ERO

[Brock’s Stocks @BrocksStocks1]

It was a good day….

What next… $POWL, $ASML $REMX ???

Still digging but not seeing much. Would like to hope on the software train but not setup for me $DDOG $SNOW $MDB
