if you really pay attention, your watchlist can be a guide for situational awareness
Especially if ur main focuses are liquid larger caps or names in theme
A lot of times in premarket / the opening drive time period you should already have a pretty good gauge/bias as to what is likely to work or not work
it takes a bit of time but once you get good at it it's pretty powerful
I think bounce is likely on Monday
But also it’s hard for me to see a full recovery here, maybe a short term one.
But I think what’s more likely is a period of chop here. Which I’m not mad about, the cool off periods are a good thing - the best opportunities truly do come AFTER a period of chop / downside.
Biggest edge MOST of us retail traders have is turnover
If you compound your risk up/down with performance, catching frequent smaller sized gains will always outperform catching a few big gains
When I realized this I stopped trying to hold shit for months or weeks and focused on a lot of smaller gains banking most profit in 2-4 days of entry - this made me 10x more money
10 10% gains outperforms 1 100% gain by a pretty hefty margin
