@BreezeFor1407 We're still wide and loose, no real setups in which you can put in size. But I can understand that without exposure, a day like this hurts. There will be better opportunities to get in imo
This is so important! Many people focus only on their setups, but the market environment is far more important. It significantly affects the expected value of your setups.
Are you adjusting to what the market is telling you?
Are you changing your market opinion as Price changes like Stan Druckenmiller @standuquesne ?
Here is my cheat sheet
While the market is slowing down for me and there is less to do, my newest book just arrived right on time! I‘m so excited to read the stories of traders I‘ve been following for years (and even met in person) @TheOneLanceB@TheShortBear@Qullamaggie
(Finally, Germany is represented too 🇩🇪well done, Lukas!)
@vaggelis_plytas What did you do after Thursday's recovery with that 200% exposure? I'm just generally curious about how people handle such a high exposure
Friday (or yesterday) would have wiped me out if I hadn't had a perfect week or month leading up to it
@trader_53 An IPO is the obvious way to raise money. Otherwise, they need to slow their cash burn by reducing and prioritizing projects, or grow quickly enough for operating cash flow to become a meaningful source of funding - which will be difficult given all the competition.
@RealSimpleAriel The market rewarded poor trading behavior for several weeks, but punished anyone who got it wrong on Friday and today. It looks like we're heading into a choppy and volatile market environment.
As I said, the market will take every opportunity to punish bad behavior.
You were punished for wide stops, poor setup selection, poor profit-taking, incorrect position sizing, and improper exposure levels on Friday, and today chasing the market and impatience have been punished.
I'm still holding my trimmed core long positions, and I established two short positions today against the 10DMA in semis. Choppy and volatile market ahead!
This market environment rewards poor trading behavior. Continue to stick strictly to your rules, because once the market shifts, you won’t be able to adapt quickly enough and will end up giving up a lot of profits.
Continue to pay attention to the setups you take, your position size, avoid buying into extensions, monitor your exposure level, and stick to your stops (the most common mistakes people tend to make during such a phase).
BREAKING: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says to buy Qualcomm, $QCOM, stock.
"I spent the whole day selling other peoples' stock. It's good, we should be happy other people succeed," he says.
$SMH $XSD $MU $SNDK $MRVL etc. all rejected at friday highs, $SPY giving back all overnight gains, i dont really like what I see, market needs more time
@alphacharts365 I like @CFlanders7 words - its not time to make money back in the likely ensuing volatility, instead wait for a clearer picture to emerge
Most pivotal day we've seen in weeks, with several key big-picture breakdowns
Many high-flyers likely need to consolidate before any next leg higher or at worst pull back even further
Feels good to have trimmed extended names like $AMD, $MRVL, and $MU into strength. Sitting tight and waiting for more clues over the next days
